Grand Hotel Excelsior

The Grand Hotel Excelsior Malta is a newly reconstructed, deluxe 5-star resort situated within the sixteenth century fortifications of Malta’s capital city, Valletta - a UNESCO World Heritage site. Malta is probably unique in the world for the breadth of its history and ancient structures over the millennia, all of which can be found within a few square kilometres. The Excelsior’s central position allows for easy travel to all parts of the islands. The Excelsior commands the island’s premier waterfront location offering breathtaking sea views of Marsamxett Harbour and Manoel Island. As a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the hotel exceeds expectations on the basis of its 5-star service excellence. All 428 deluxe rooms and suites enjoy a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary design mixed with modern 5-star convenience including multi-channel flat screen TV. Spread over ten levels, three of which are executive floors, most of the rooms and suites overlook stunning harbour views. The Excelsior’s facilities include a private 30-berth marina, large outdoor and indoor swimming pools, health & beauty centre and 3 food and beverage outlets. The Excelsior offers versatile conference & banqueting facilities, 14 flexible venues of over 4000m², a number of which have natural daylight - an ideal environment for business meetings, conferences and other events. Near to the Excelsior is the Mediterranean Conference Centre. This historical building enhances the Excelsior’s conference potential with an auditorium capacity for up to 1,400 delegates. The Grand Hotel Excelsior opened its doors to its first guests on the 10th September 2007. Right from the start it was very clear that the product and service offerings were to be of a superior nature. The hotel prides itself in attracting and retaining a faithful following of leisure and business guests as well as prominent international personalities. For the past three years, the hotel played host to the well known artists performing at the yearly concert, Isle of MTV - Lady Gaga, Enrique Iglesias, Black Eyed Peas, Scissor Sisters, David Guetta, Kid Rock, Kelis to name but a few. Tom Jones, Rod Stewart and Ronan Keating, who were in Malta to give a concert, also chose to stay here. The hotel has been reviewed by previous guests as a ‘Hotel fit for Royalty’ on the popular website ‘tripadvisor’. This was due to the fact that during their stay, the King of Spain was also residing at the hotel, when in Malta on a state visit last year. The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, also recently chose the Excelsior while on the Islands to attend meetings with the Maltese authorities. The team at the Grand Hotel Excelsior is extremely honoured to have had the opportunity to contribute towards the success of these two all important visits. Huge emphasis was put on ensuring the safety of the distinguished guests as well as offering optimum levels of service and hospitality the Excelsior is known for. The hotel feels it plays an important role in ensuring it lives up to and exceeds the reputation the Maltese have as being a hospitable nation. The fact that these major events are becoming a regular occurrence is testimony that the Grand Hotel Excelsior is being talked about on an international level. All of this promises an unforgettable visit to this island gem called Malta.
