The Premium group, which owns four tourist accommodation establishments in Málaga, plans to expand its portfolio in the city with two more that will open in the coming years. These are two boutique hotels that have been planned in a building on Alameda Principal and another on Biedmas street, next to Carretería. Both will feature around thirty rooms and are pending construction permits to begin materialization.

In the case of the building on Alameda Principal, it is located at number 38 of this street, at the corner with Ordóñez street. It will be a 33-room hotel that the Premium group has designed as "the highest level we will have in the chain," according to the company. The project, which is expected to create 25 jobs, will enhance a 19th-century building that is listed with grade 1 architectural protection.

According to the list of protected buildings in the Historic Center, it was designed by Jerónimo Cuervo and built between 1870 and 1871. "It is rhythmically composed with balconies featuring notable ironwork, adorned with floral decorations," highlights Professor of Art History Rosario Camacho in her 'Historical-Artistic Guide of Málaga'.

The Premium group has assured that they will strive to conserve and restore the building "to its fullest expression." "It has high ceilings and a central courtyard that will impress guests who stay there. As with all our projects, it will be a building that boasts the Málaga culture of the era, adapted to the new needs of travelers. Guests will have the opportunity to have breakfast with views of our grand Alameda Principal," they detailed.

On the other hand, at numbers 14 and 16 on Biedmas street, Premium will carry out another boutique hotel, this one with 36 rooms, which will involve an investment of about eight million euros and create about thirty jobs. In this case, the passage of time and neglect have taken their toll on these buildings, and only the facade and the structures closest to it at one of them, number 16 on the street, located next to Plaza de los Viñeros, remain standing.

Various procedures related to the protection of the remaining parts of the building, which includes the staircase core, and the need to carry out archaeological surveys on the site have delayed this intervention. This hotel will feature a convention hall with a capacity for one hundred people and will offer "recreational areas created with a Málaga spirit that will be reflected in a large Andalusian patio," according to Premium.

These two hotel establishments will join four others that this group already has open in the center of Málaga: the Alcazaba hotel, with 22 rooms, at number 22 Alcazabilla street; the Málaga Premium, with 29 rooms, next to the Church of San Juan; a set of 14 tourist apartments on San Telmo street; and another 18 in the building at number 42 Granada street. All of them have a rooftop terrace with a bar. Additionally, Premium is behind La Fábrica de Cerveza, located at number 29 Trinidad Grund street.
