Editor's note
The rooftop pool at AC Hotel Málaga Palacio offers stunning views of the city, creating a vibrant atmosphere. While the pool itself is described as small, its prime location next to a bar and restaurant makes it a social hub, especially in the evenings. Lounging space seems adequate but not expansive, with a focus on the overall rooftop experience.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.
