Corinthia Palace Malta

Located in the upscale neighborhood of Attard in the center of Malta, Corinthia Palace Malta was originally a regal villa built for the island’s chief justice. Glide up the stairs past the grand columns into the palatial lobby, where you’ll be welcomed with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice — a nod to the Maltese orange trees throughout the hotel’s lush gardens.

Like a set from the 1960 movie La Dolce Vita, the Corinthia brand’s first hotel — with 147 rooms, including nine suites, six Executive Suites and two Palace Suites — is a place for those who enjoy classic architecture, traditional decor, formal service and culinary excellence.

Speaking of gastronomic adventures, the hotel welcomed renowned chef Francesco Mazzei to Villa Corinthia in 2023, which propelled the restaurant to a top culinary destination, serving authentic Italian classics. Above Villa Corinthia sits Bahia, a space offering three unique menus that transport you to different time periods. Another one of the hotel’s premier dining experiences is Rickshaw, where you can dine under the stars and relish the flavors of the Far East.

Aside from the restaurants, there are other spots in the hotel to check out. Unwind in the expansive pools. Or indulge in some well-deserved pampering at the luxury hotel’s Mediterranean-inspired spa, Athenaeum, featuring a garden plunge pool, sauna, heated beds, experience showers and more.
