St Julian’s / Spinola Bay

Hotel Juliani

A family-run boutique hotel in a townhouse on Spinola Bay, St Julian’s, with sea-view rooms, a rooftop pool, and Zest restaurant downstairs. Fishing boats out front, Valletta a short ride away.

★★★★★

Hotel Juliani is the pick for travellers who want St Julian’s energy without staying in the middle of the Paceville nightlife strip. The hotel occupies a renovated townhouse at 25 St George’s Road, facing Spinola Bay and its colourful fishing boats, with about sixty-five rooms and suites spread over a few floors; the sea-view rooms and suites are the ones to book. On the roof, a pool and sun terrace look over the bay, with a pool bar during the day. Downstairs, Zest serves Asian and fusion cooking and has been recognised by the Michelin Guide, while Café Juliani handles breakfast and casual meals. There is a small gym, and guests get free parking in a nearby car park, subject to availability.

Sliema’s promenade and the ferry to Valletta are a short bus or taxi ride away, and Paceville is a few minutes on foot, so expect some evening noise on summer weekends. Its size and personal service suit couples and first-timers who want a seaside base with good food on site. Family travellers will appreciate the pool, though rooms are boutique-sized.
