Nestled in the heart of Malta is the charming Corinthia Palace where I recently experienced a combination of luxury, elegance and impeccable service for a few days. Originally opened as a restaurant in 1962, the hotel has become a landmark in Maltese hospitality, with its recent 2024 refurbishments elevating its charm to a new level.
Upon entering the hotel, the lobby immediately sets the tone for the stay. The grand ambiance is complemented by thoughtful design touches that enhance the experience, particularly in Josephine’s Coffee Shop, a perfect space for guests to relax, socialize, or work. The entrance seamlessly blends sophistication with comfort, creating a tranquil environment that echoes throughout the hotel’s shared spaces.
Walking into the newly redesigned rooms at the Corinthia Palace Hotel, you’re immediately welcomed by an abundance of natural light that fills the space, creating a serene and bright atmosphere. The interiors strike a delicate balance between modern aesthetics and classic elegance, with clean lines, soft color palettes, and plush furnishings that exude comfort and sophistication. The spacious rooms offer ample room for relaxation and it was a delight waking up in the mornings to the hotel entrance views with lush greenery.
Dining at Corinthia Palace is a journey through culinary excellence. Every meal at Francesco Mazzei’s Villa Corinthia was memorable, where the renowned chef’s dishes offered a sublime fusion of Mediterranean flavors and Italian sophistication. The seafood dishes here are highly recommended and will have you coming back for more.
The Michelin-starred BAHIA is also an unforgettable gastronomic experience, with its creative, refined dishes in an intimate setting. Whether you’re craving plant-based cuisine or traditional Mediterranean fare, the diverse culinary offerings are truly exceptional.
Guests can also have a rejuvenating experience at The Athenaeum Spa, which has established itself as a leading wellness destination. Featuring seven treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room, and the serene outdoor garden, the spa provides an ideal escape for relaxation. The spa’s Vitality Suite and the outdoor serenity lounge, overlooking the hotel’s pool, were particular highlights.
What truly sets Corinthia Palace apart is the sense of history intertwined with a modern approach to luxury. The staff are warm and attentive, reflecting the Corinthia Group’s long-standing tradition of excellence. Whether you are visiting for a short retreat or an extended stay, Corinthia Palace indeed offers a captivating blend of cultural heritage, luxury, and exceptional service that ensures every guest leaves with memories to treasure.
