The Phoenicia Malta

Twelve kilos, seven acres of private garden, dinner at Contessa

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A 1930s grande dame sitting on the bastions between Floriana and Valletta's City Gate, with seven acres of private gardens behind it and a pool cut into a 16th century fortification wall. Rooms are classic rather than fashionable, and the whole place runs at a calm pace. It suits people who want a walled capital on the doorstep and somewhere green to walk the dog five minutes later. Dogs get a designated stretch of the pool deck, which very few city hotels offer.

Why it's in the collection

Seven acres of the hotel's own gardens start at the door, and the Mall Gardens and the Argotti Botanic Gardens in Floriana are both inside a five minute walk, with Hastings Gardens and the Valletta bastion walk just through City Gate.

Best suited for

Dogs up to 12kg only, and they can't be left alone in the room at any time.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Pet friendly rooms are allocated at booking. Dogs eat with you at Contessa, and they are welcome in a designated part of the pool deck, though not on the sun loungers and not in the water. The spa is the one place they can't come. Leads on everywhere in the gardens, grounds and lawns.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
