Introduction

Blessed with spectacular views of Marsamxett Harbour, the Grand Hotel Excelsior has plenty to shout about. Located between the sea and the UNESCO-listed capital, Valletta, you’ll be in prime position for exploring. The rest of the island’s easily accessible too. The facilities are fabulous, including the lavish spa and spacious rooms. The best bit? The seafront pool, where you can take a dip against the backdrop of Manoel Island. The picturesque panoramas continue in the four restaurants. Italian? Maltese? You can try it all here. The private beach is the cherry on top.
