The Phoenicia Malta: Old Soul, New Standard
Malta is a year-round destination, the kind of place that still feels sun-warmed even in November. When much of Europe is grey and shivering, Floriana glows at a steady 20-something degrees, its sandstone walls catching the light like honey. Against that backdrop, The Phoenicia Malta feels almost cinematic – timeless, sunlit, and entirely its own. Set beside the capital’s old gates, The Phoenicia Malta has been part of Malta’s story for nearly a century, welcoming everyone from officers and artists to royals and romantics. Yet it never feels trapped in its past. It’s proof that heritage and modernity can share a lobby without competing for attention. Some hotels lean on nostalgia; The Phoenicia Malta keeps redefining what timeless actually feels like.
