The palazzo was converted into a hotel of 25 spacious, unique suites. The design adopts a mix-and-match approach of finishes, objects & fittings; complementary in the emotions provoked, from the contemplative to the celebratory. The suites comprise 6 collections: some are inspired by youth; rich in texture, color & architectural motifs; others are suggestive of Valletta’s secret gardens, with feminine undertones & adorned with dark floral walls. The calm atmosphere of the courtyard provides the setting for a set of suites, each with its own private spa facilities including an indoor terrace & sauna. The East-facing suites deliver an innovative twist on traditional flooring & plastering techniques with added textures to add a hint of romanticism to the contemporary feel. The suites located on the piano nobile, reflect Valletta’s architectural grandeur; the double height making them whimsical & unusual. The executive suite brings together a private working lounge with interconnected sleeping quarters using palatial solid wood flooring; a modern-day interpretation of the traditional. The courtyard is a secluded peaceful place of rest, where the city switches off & the hotel welcomes visitors. The hotel interior includes a mix of artisan skills, such as composite marble flooring, intricate wood paneling, & hand-crafted brass inlays which resonate into the public spaces. Similar attention to craftsmanship & design detail formed the basis to furniture selection & design.
