WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Hotel highlights
This is where guests get to feel on top of the world. It’s also the ideal spot to go when the sun gets a bit too much, thanks to the inviting plunge pool. Immerse yourself in its inviting waters while peering out across Valetta’s magnificent cityscape.
The rooftop is where you’ll find the bar, too. Refresh your palate from a diverse menu of signature cocktails, intoxicating liquors and some of the fine wines imported from France and Italy. See if you can spot some of Malta’s most iconic buildings while you’re up here.
Expect award-winning cuisine at the Rosselli. Under Grain is one of Malta’s first Michelin-starred restaurant and has a unique décor that’s inspired by the old tailor shops that used to populate Merchant Street. And the cuisine? Modern flavours utilising traditional ingredients from the land and sea, either from the à la carte menu or as a series of smaller, more intricate tasting dishes.
Meanwhile, for a more casual dining experience, book a table at the sister restaurant, Grain Street. Recognised by the Michelin Guide, this is a modern bistro serving rustic Mediterranean cuisine in a friendly environment.
Merchant Street is one of Valletta’s most iconic areas and is where you’ll find the Rosselli. Famous for its prestigious stores, daily street market, and eye-turning Baroque architecture, immersing yourself in its splendour is as simple as strolling out the hotel entrance.
Taking a stroll along Merchant Street means you’ll pass some of the most popular sites in Valletta’s Old Town. Including St John’s Cathedral and Grand Master’s Palace. Of course, the Rosselli s something of a tourist attraction in its own right – being a historic palazzo that dates all the way back to the 17th Century.
- For travellers who want to keep on top of their fitness routine, the hotel has a gym with cardio machines, yoga mats, and fitness equipment.
- At the heart of the Palazzo is The Rosselli Lounge – an internal courtyard that features a lovingly restored fountain that’s over 400 years old. Relax on the sofas and enjoy the quiet serenity.
- During the summer months, there’s nothing better than dinner at the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant followed by a glass of your favourite tipple at the rooftop lounge bar. Who knows? You may just make it in time for the sunset.
