Malta, Valletta
The Phoenicia Malta is a classic hotel in Valletta, the nation’s buzzing capital. It sits on a hilltop near the ancient entrance to the city, commanding views over the Grand Harbour and the city walls beyond. The lodgings are among the finest on the island. Built during the 1930s, it served as an RAF base during the war before opening to the public. Its guests included Noel Coward and Winston Churchill.
Much of that post war elegance still lingers in the sunlit corridors and wood panelled bar. There are two excellent onsite restaurants serving fresh Mediterranean favourites. The Bastion infinity pool is the place to be seen in the afternoon, where you can watch the sun track across Valletta.
This grand dining room serves meals throughout the day. Breakfast is a rather spectacular affair, with a range of hot and cold options on offer. In the afternoon and evening there’s a seasonal á la carte menu.
Open: 07:00 - 10:30, 12:30 - 15:30 and 19:00 - 22:00.
Please note: currently The Phoenix is only serving breakfast, until further notice.
This airy colonial style bar is a local institution. Wooden fans whirl overhead and shuttered windows overlook the gardens. The friendly bartenders are well schooled in creating a range of classic cocktails.

The Bastion infinity pool is located below Valletta’s ancient walls and the city provides a spectacular backdrop to your swim.
The Phoenicia Malta is located right in the middle of the Valletta peninsula. It’s offers a classic piece of 1930s glamour set in carefully maintained gardens. High up on a hill, the hotel’s rooms overlook the city and the harbour.
Stepping out of the door, you’ll find yourself within a short walk of Valletta’s main shopping district, with its elegantly faded backstreets, and the welcoming cafés and bars that cluster along the harbour side. If you’re eager to explore the island, you’ll find transport links to tourist attractions almost on your doorstep, including the fortress city of Mdina and the stunning beaches that nestle along the coast.
