- The Phoenicia Malta

The finest hotels around the world – like the The Phoenicia Malta near Valetta – have all earned their reputation over time. Indeed, the Phoenicia Hotel tends to make such an impression on its guests that they keep coming back.
As soon as you arrive at the impressive entranceway with its pillared entrance and portico, you'll see just how special the Phoenicia Hotel is. Absolutely in keeping with the traditional grandeur of the capital city, Valetta, it is a wonderful venue from which to really come to appreciate the very best that Malta has to offer.
The Phoenicia Malta's 1920's design aesthetic is a welcome breath of fresh air – richly and comfortably furnished and full of beautiful details. It's grand but very accessible – the thickly upholstered plush chairs are there to be sat on, for example.
Working in such a grand interior, the Phoenicia Malta staff have to work hard to ensure that the service they offer matches up. That the level of service here is consistently impeccable is a testament to them – and a big factor in bringing so many people back here year after year.
Classic twin/double air-conditioned or heated rooms are well-equipped with satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, radio, phone, safe, tea and coffee making facilities, complimentary non-alcoholic mini-bar, and hairdryer. Superior Rooms, Executive Rooms and Deluxe Harbour View Rooms are available at a supplement.
There are beautiful swimming pools, there are wonderful choices to be made in the hotel's two à la carte restaurants; there is even a hotel jewellery shop. (And of course, there's an excellent gym.) To top it all off, the Phoenicia Hotel is set in seven acres of landscaped gardens.
The happy combination of its distinctive design and exceptional service means that the Phoenicia Malta richly deserves every one of its five stars. That it's a convenient gateway for Valetta almost makes you wish you could give it a sixth star!

The Phoenicia still retains its reputation as one of Malta's leading hotels and it has a devoted following of guests who return year after year. Reflecting the grand style of the 1920's with elegant rooms and furnishings, it exudes an air of quiet luxury and efficient service. The hotel enjoys a prime position just outside the main gateway to Valletta. The historical three cities or fashionable Sliema are located just across the harbour, which can be reached by car, boat or bus.
We went for a three night stay to celebrate our anniversary. Could not recommend highly enough. We had a lovely room with a balcony. All the staff were very helpful, friendly and attentive.
The location is amazing, just outside the main gate to Valetta, so we get the easy access without the overwhelming crowds. Service at the hotel is fantastic. The pool area is such a nice escape from the too many people visiting Valetta. However, it is a business hotel with conferences, events etc that detracted from my overall experience. Since we were not a part of an event, and choose the hotel and its prices as part of our Malta visit, I felt a little out of place as I don't think we are its target audience. The location and pool would be hard to replace, so we would definitely consider returing.
Just returned from a wonderful stay at The Phoenicia Malta. This hotel is everything a hotel should be. The location is perfect for exploring Valetta and the rest of the islands. The staff are welcoming, friendly and go out of their way to ensure your stay is comfortable and stress free. The facilities are first class and spotlessly clean and the food is excellent. They have some very good chefs. Our room was extremely comfortable with a pleasant outlook and balcony from which we often enjoyed watching fireworks. The Bastion infinity pool is wonderful with the amazing views to the harbour beyond and is reached by the most delightful walk through beautifully kept gardens, a true tonic for the senses. We cannot recommend The Phoenicia Malta highly enough for its ambience and the excellent value it provides. We look forward to our next visit.
A true 5 star experience at this extremely well run hotel with very professional, helpful and polite staff. High level of accommodation and cleanliness. Superb food and ambience throughout the restaurants and Club Bar Great Location we would highly recommend and we shall return.
Best hotel I’ve stayed at worth every penny.I will return.
