Palazzo Consiglia is the stylish way to live inside Valletta. It occupies a restored townhouse at 102 St Ursula Street, on the quieter harbour side of the old city, a few minutes’ walk from the Upper Barrakka Gardens and St John’s Co-Cathedral. With only thirteen rooms, each different, it feels more like a private house than a hotel: stone walls and old timber combined with contemporary design, bold nature murals and modern tech such as Bluetooth audio. The rooftop has a temperature-controlled pool with views over the city’s rooftops and domes, and the Ikonika Spa is tucked into the vaulted cellar. There is no restaurant, but breakfast is served, and Valletta’s best dining is a short walk away. It is part of the IK Collection of boutique hotels.
Valletta streets are steep and stepped, so expect a walk uphill from the harbour, and with only a handful of rooms it books up early in high season. Ideal for couples and design lovers who want the capital at their door and a quiet, intimate base to return to. Families with small children will find more space elsewhere.
