Adif, Spain¿s leading railway station operator, has unveiled an original and engaging hotel beside Malaga¿s new AVE station (high speed train station). Part of the Spanish Barcelo group, the hotel was built by local architect Tolo Cursach and decorated by interior designer Jordi Torres. The industrial-style space, all concrete, steel and glass, has a spectacular, high-ceilinged lobby that, with its apparently floating lamps and avant-garde design, is an art installation in itself. The hotel is centrally located and just 8 km from the airport. Guests can dine in El Anden restaurant which serves Andalusian cuisine with an Asian twist, or in the B lounge which offers unique buffet-style snacks. The sleek, sound-proofed contemporary rooms come with hydo-massage showers and all the amenities needed for a pleasant and cosy stay, including free Wi-Fi internet access and a relaxing armchair. A pillow menu and interconnected rooms are available.
