The Phoenicia Malta has been the island's grande dame since the 1930s, standing just outside the gates of the capital, Valletta, in seven acres of landscaped gardens above the Grand Harbour. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, its restored Art Deco architecture and lush grounds make it a Maltese institution.
The dining is a highlight. Contessa serves high-end Southern Mediterranean cuisine by chef Mark Mizzi in an iconic dining room and garden conservatory; Beefbar brings its acclaimed steakhouse to Valletta; the Palm Court Lounge is a daily ritual for afternoon tea; and the Bastion pool restaurant and Club Bar handle harbour-view dining and cocktails.
For a historic, garden-set stay at the gateway to Valletta, the Phoenicia is a benchmark.
