4-star waterfront hotel with direct views of Valletta's harbour

Amenities & Pools

The hotel offers a heated indoor pool kept at 32°C year-round, plus a jacuzzi with counter-current jets and a sauna on the 10th floor. Guests receive complimentary access to the Aqualuna beach lido across the road, which includes sun loungers, umbrellas, and a heated outdoor pool during winter. The well-maintained fitness center provides panoramic harbour views, and water refill stations are available on multiple floors for free still or sparkling water.

Rooms

All 151 air-conditioned rooms feature a private balcony, with most offering lateral or direct sea views towards Valletta and Manoel Island. The soundproofed windows and doors ensure minimal traffic noise from the busy waterfront road, while rooms include tea/coffee facilities, a minibar, safe, bathrobes, slippers, and an eco-friendly shower system that tracks water usage. Superior Double or Twin Rooms with Sea View and family suites are available, and guests receive complimentary welcome drinks upon arrival.

Dining

Breakfast is a daily buffet with barista-made coffee, fresh orange juice, and made-to-order omelettes served in a third-floor restaurant overlooking the harbour. The hotel operates three restaurants: the main restaurant, the Lobby Bar & Bistro for snacks and dinner year-round, and the summer rooftop venues 1Olive Grill and Cielo Lounge on the 10th and 12th floors. Themed dinner nights such as Italian Night, ABBA Night, and Sunday Regatta with live music are held regularly, and the buffet lunch at the main restaurant is popular with local residents for its free-flowing beverages.

Wellness & Entertainment

The Dee Spa on the 10th floor offers a full menu of treatments including hot stone massages, body scrubs, facials, and couples massage packages. Additional facilities include a dry sauna, steam room, and a relaxation lounge with sun loungers and panoramic harbour views. Evening entertainment ranges from live music and themed parties at the rooftop bar to temporary art galleries and movie nights in the lobby area.
