If only the best will do, look no further than the historic Phoenicia Hotel, which stands just outside Valletta’s City Gate, and has done since the 1930s. That’s not to say you can expect stuffy, old fashioned interiors, though. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Major renovation works were carried out in 2017, and the hotel now treads the line between old school elegance and contemporary chic. It’s also part of the Leading Hotels of the World group, so it’s safe to say you’ll get the VIP treatment.
Aside from the hotel’s impressive interiors, it boasts a superb location. Head out of the lobby and wander across the bridge through the 16th Century bastion walls and you’ll find yourself in the historical old town. The hotel also puts you within a 10-minute walk of most of Valletta’s top attractions, so it’s fantastic pick.
