Hotel Phoenicia Malta

Located at the entrance to the walled city of Valletta, the capital of Malta, Hotel Phoenicia Malta wraps guests in a sense of history and art deco charm. A nexus of Maltese social and cultural history since 1947, the five-star hotel sits high above the harbor, meaning nearly every one of the 136 guest rooms enjoys ocean views. Modern appointments layer the history-enriched decor with conveniences, including high-speed Internet access, cable TV, an electronic safe, and espresso maker.

Groups of up to 300 delegates meet in a choice of six rooms at the conference facilities, or the hotel's tranquil gardens. Guests at leisure can explore the island's heritage via renaissance cathedrals and baroque palaces, appreciate masterpieces at the National Museum of Fine Arts, or soak up the eternal sunshine on miles of Maltese beaches.
