Malta, Valletta
The Grand Hotel Excelsior is situated a stone’s throw from Valletta, Malta’s quirky capital. The beautifully appointed rooms feature views across Marsamxett Harbour to Fort Manoel, the soaring citadel built by the mysterious Catholic Order of Saint John. Three excellent restaurants are located onsite, each serving up fine meals in light and airy surroundings. For drinks you can choose from the Tiki Village and Blue Ocean Bar, offering fine cocktails in a brilliantly kitsch setting, and the elegant Harbour View.
This is the only hotel in Valletta with its own private beach, where you can dip your toes in the harbour or enjoy a swim in the warm waters. Back on the loungers you can watch the boats sail in to the private marina. Round off the afternoon at the onsite spa and gym, for a steam, massage or energising workout.
Classically styled Harbour View is found in the hotel’s grand lobby. Comfortable armchairs and all-enveloping sofas are arranged around the large windows which provide views across to Valletta. This is the place to come for your morning coffee or evening Mai Tai.
