The newly opened five-star Áurea Palacio de la Tinta wants to open its doors to the people of Málaga and is doing so with a unique offer exclusive to those who can prove they reside in the capital of the Costa del Sol: "come for dinner and we invite you to stay overnight". The new Eurostars Hotel Company, located opposite La Malagueta beach and on the Paseo de Reding, offers local residents until June 30 a complete stay that includes accommodation in a double room, breakfast, and a gourmet dinner for two at the Asador Contrapunto, for a fixed price of 250 euros.

From the chain, they indicate that with this initiative, the Áurea Palacio de la Tinta "strengthens its desire to integrate into the cultural and social life of Málaga, inviting citizens to rediscover the building from within and to enjoy a complete experience of gastronomy and accommodation in a unique heritage environment". They explain that the establishment "was created with the intention of opening up to the city and becoming a new meeting point for the people of Málaga" and that in this line they have designed a strategy beyond the current promotion with "proposals designed to enrich the local leisure offer that citizens can enjoy at any time". Among them, the restaurant Asador Contrapunto stands out, specializing in grilled cuisine with a menu focused on quality meats and fish, or the rooftop La Danza, with views over Málaga, accompanied by a gastronomic proposal based on cocktails and light dishes.

Those who want to participate in this first initiative of 'Come to dinner and we invite you to sleep', the chain reminds that the reservation, for which residency in the destination must be accredited at the time of check-in, must be made through the hotel's website, using the promotional code 'HolaMálaga'. In addition, they advance that the experience "combines accommodation, gastronomy, and enjoyment of the different spaces of the hotel, including its terrace with a swimming pool and relaxation area with the best views of the city, an environment designed to relax and contemplate the city from the heights, as well as access to its wellness and spa area, designed to complete the stay with a moment of disconnection".

They explain that the gastronomic proposal included in the promotion includes "a selection of dishes based on the product, the grill, and the care of the raw material, with starters such as porra antequerana with mojama and free-range egg or tomato salad from the garden with Barbate mackerel; main courses such as roasted hook-caught hake with mutabal and garlic chips or roasted duck magret with tomato and mango chutney. To finish with roasted pineapple with rum and spices with coconut and chia ice cream or homemade Bourbon vanilla flan with chantilly".

It is worth remembering that el Palacio de la Tinta opened its doors on Friday, May 22, becoming the sixth five-star hotel in the capital. The establishment is located in the historic headquarters of the Andalusian Railway Confederation. It has 141 rooms, including seven suites and nine junior suites; swimming pool; a restaurant specializing in grilled cuisine and Malaga gastronomy; terrace with panoramic views and a meeting room with a total area of 241.70 square meters.

All this in a building, of 10,500 square meters, dating from the year 1908. Designed by the engineer Julio Aublin Cala, it is an example of eclectic style with a marked French flavor. It was built to house the central offices of the Andalusian Railway Confederation. Over the years, it has also been the headquarters of various services of the provincial delegation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Sustainable Development in Málaga or the Southern Hydrographic Confederation, its last use. The building had been closed since 2019, when the Junta de Andalucía put it up for auction and Hotusa paid 21 million for it. They recall that the origin of its name, Palacio de la Tinta, dates back to its stage as a railway administration, when large amounts of ink had to be transported daily for the manual issuance of tickets.
