Corinthia Palace Hotel
San Anton, Malta

For a traditional lounge bar, head to the relaxed Caprice Lounge. Sports facilities include tennis and squash courts, an outdoor pool and access to the Royal Malta Golf Course. Other hotel amenities include a gift shop, jewellers, haircare salon and natural solarium.

The 147 bedrooms and eight superb suites are equipped to the highest standards.

Appropriately, the hotel boasts one of Malta’s most elegant restaurants, the Corinthia Room, which offers exquisite fine dining in a formal ambience. For a more informal venue, sample the outdoor setting of Pizza, Pasta e Basta where meals are prepared in the open kitchen during the summer. Eastern fine dining is the theme at the Rickshaw Far Eastern Restaurant, which blends the cuisine of Malaysia, India, China, Thailand and Indonesia.

Business centre facilities include secretarial services, Internet workstation, relaxation room and events assistance. In-room facilities include a stationery survival kit.

Explore 7,000 years of history yet live passionately in the present. The Maltese Islands have been described as a massive open-air museum. Delve into their mysterious history and find out where the Knights of St John are said to have defended Christendom. But Malta is no regular museum. Here, life is lived to the full. Wherever you go in the island, the landscape and architecture provide a delightful backdrop of honey-coloured stone against deep Mediterranean blues. So be sure to visit locations where Oscar-winning films were made or head off the beaten track to find ancient villages. Marvel at the fireworks and revelry of the Summer Festas and enjoy the packed calendar of events all year-round.
