The Phoenicia Malta

The Phoenicia Malta sits on The Mall, placing guests steps away from the National Museum of Archaeology and St. John’s Co-Cathedral. It is a rare arrival in the city that manages to balance its proximity to the main sights with a sprawling, self-contained footprint that includes both indoor and outdoor pools.

While most hotels in Valletta crowd into the historic centre’s narrow limestone canyons, this property trades density for acreage. Choosing this venue over the smaller boutique stays nearby means you sacrifice being in the absolute thick of the harbour traffic for the sake of the gardens and the gym. It is the better choice for those who view a city break as a place to retreat to, rather than just a place to sleep between sightseeing stops.
