VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

At Barceló Fortina Malta, you wake to golden Maltese light pouring through floor-to-ceiling windows, the domes and spires of Valletta gleaming just across the harbor. The Mediterranean isn’t just a view here; it’s the backdrop to everything. Set along Sliema’s elegant seafront promenade, this luxury hotel blends a sleek, modern aesthetic with effortless island charm.

What sets this posh property apart is the balance of style and substance — everything feels thoughtfully designed without ever trying too hard. Rooms are minimalist but warm, accented with local stone and soft textures. The reception area features two verdant living walls. The spa is a quiet sanctuary tucked just below the surface. Downstairs, cocktails are creative, and the cuisine subtly nods to Malta’s multicultural roots.

Whether you’re wandering the promenade at sunset or simply watching sailboats from your balcony, Barceló Fortina invites you to slow down and savor.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The floor-to-ceiling windows in many of Barceló Fortina’s accommodations frame Malta’s baroque capital like a living painting, especially at sunrise, when the honey-colored stone glows. It’s one of the finest vantage points in Sliema.
Floating in the rooftop infinity pool feels like hovering above the harbor, with uninterrupted peeks at sailboats, the skyline and the sea. It’s a great spot for golden hour Aperol spritzes and that just-right Instagram moment.
The 183 rooms are a calming mix of clean lines and neutral tones that let the Mediterranean views shine. The beds are gloriously plush — ideal for midday naps after sun-soaked excursions.
The wellness center is tucked discreetly beneath the luxury hotel and feels like a hidden retreat, complete with a hydrotherapy pool, sauna and a solid menu of treatments. The ambiance is blissfully quiet, even when the rest of the property is buzzing.
The Malta hotel’s restaurants strike a smart balance between modern presentation and local flavor — think fresh seafood, Maltese olive oil and seasonal produce. Bonus: the breakfast buffet includes everything from savory pastizzi (a traditional pastry) to oat milk lattes.

Peer into local spiritual life at Stella Maris Parish, an elegant 19th-century baroque church just off Tower Road. Visit in the evenings to catch golden-hour light throwing colorful stained-glass patterns across the stone floor.
