Great stay!!! Best hotel for business & leisure
I have just returned home following a few nights at the Phoenicia in Valletta. The trip was a combination of both business and pleasure. The hotel is a classic hotel, a grand old lady. The location is great too, just outside Valletta gates and a couple of metres from the bus station which was very convenient to go visiting the island. We booked a superior room with balcony, the room was very comfortable and spacious. We only booked for breakfast but had dinner in the hotels two restaurants, which was excellent, great food! Will certainly return to the Phoenicia, and can certainly recommend this hotel… I have travelled to Malta a number of times mainly on business and always stayed in Sliema/St.Julians area, but I now definitely prefer Valletta and the Phoenicia!!!

Wonderful
My wife and myself have stayed at numerous 5* hotels throughout the world, and yet we chose to both get married at the Phoenicia and stay there for our honeymoon period of 3 weeks. It was a small wedding of 30 people. We booked the wedding and accomodation for our guests and us in 2005 direct with the hotel and I can honestly say that it was the easiest wedding I have ever known booked. The hotel arranged everything from the registrar to the sit down meal to the most minute detail we would never have thought of. The staff are the friendliest and most attentive I have ever known, the hotel over all is wonderful, there is nothing bad I can say about it at all. We had the most wonderfully perfect wedding and honeymoon, and it was all thanks to the staff of the Phoenicia. We were that happy we went back in October for a week, and every member of staff remembered us by name, the drinks we had, our same room; we were still made to feel special which is a rarity in this day and age.

Rest & sunshine
The location of the Phoenicia was excellent for visiting the city and yet getting around the island. Don't be put off that the hotel is so close to the bus station, it can't be heard from the hotel and the views are something else.
Le Meridien Phoenicia reflected much of the finest aspects of the opulent past whilst still providing modern and excellent amenities. The room was excellent and efficiently serviced, the restaurant excellent, and the cocktail bar with its highly professional staff was a delight! The pool and pool bar which are reached through a beautiful sub-tropical garden were a very pleasant place to relax. Finally the central lounge with its Palms and Art-deco atmosphere transported us back in time in the best possible way!
Overall standards were high- I can only give my highest recommendation for those who want a quiet relaxing time.
