They don't make hotels like the Phoenecia anymore. The genteel atmosphere was such that were times when we expected Noel Coward or one of the legendary Hollywood the movie stars of yesteryear to enter the magnificent cocktail bar. Many of whom stayed here as did Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth the second and Sir Winston Churchill. Indeed, many vital decisions... more

We have stayed in the Phoenicia on many occasions and are greeted as long-lost friends when we return. The hotel is a short walk (10 minutes) from the centre of Valletta where there are many attractions that relate the history and traditions of Malta, shops, cafes and restaurants; its location near to the bus terminus is ideal for visiting any... more

We have just returned from a week in Malta staying at The Phoenicia Hotel. This was our first visit to Malta and will hopefully be one of many.

The Irish investors who have taken over this grand hotel which looms over the landward approach to Valletta are doing a splendid job in renovating it. I was worried by reports last year about the impact of the work but was assured that it would be finished by the time we visited. In fact, the work has paused. The public... more

The Phoenicia really is home from home to us. We have now been going there for nine years and have stayed more than a dozen times during that period. There really is nothing we can fault about it. The location is perfect - just outside the main gates into Valletta and close to the bus station for transport to any... more
