4 VICTORIA HOTEL Malta is a small island where you can explore 7000 years of history yet live passionately in the present. Wherever you go, the Islands' scenery and architecture provide a spectacular backdrop. The colours are striking; honey-coloured stone against the deepest of Mediterranean blues. The Maltese Islands have been described as one big open-air museum. Delve into the Islands' mysterious prehistory, retrace the footsteps of St Paul or see where the Knights of St John defended Christendom. The elegant Victoria Hotel is a superior four star hotel, located in the heart of the fashionable town of Sliema only a 5 minute walk in any direction from the sea and close to popular restaurants. Reminders of its Victorian past are evident everywhere, from the lobby with its elegant fireplace and Chesterfield sofas to the Penny Black Lounge, where one can enjoy English tea and while away the evening to the sounds of the resident pianist. Every care has been taken to make the Victoria Hotel spa as enticing and as luxurious as possible - facilities include a freshwater indoor pool and an outdoor pool, as well as sun terraces, saunas, steam room and treatment rooms offering a wide range of holistic wellbeing treatments. The same attention is given to 140 guest's rooms at the Victoria Hotel. They are all fully air conditioned and come with extensive facilities to help you feel at home, including satellite TV and radio, direct dial phone, tea and coffee facilities and a fully stocked minibar. Rooms are dressed in classic Mediterranean blue or vintage mahogany and all feature en suite bathrooms. The Victoria is internally joined to the luxury 5 star Palace Hotel. Upgrades are available on request. Guests staying in the Victoria can also dine in the Palace at a supplement
