In summer you can swim on the top floor of this St Julian's hotel, and Balluta Bay is just across the promenade.
Hotel, St. Julian's. Meridian Dispatch.
Airport Direct routes TD2 and TD3 both serve St Julian's from the airport, each running every 30 minutes. Payment is on board by cash or contactless.
The hotel is in St Julian's, facing Balluta Bay, and not in Sliema. Sliema is only minutes away and is Malta's retail capital, with shopping malls and restaurants.
No, the hotel takes children, and it has a paddling pool for them. Some of its rooms have two queen beds, which makes them suitable for families.
Yes, Balluta Beach is across the promenade from the hotel, within walking distance of the rooms. It is used for swimming, diving and water sports.
Breakfast is a buffet served every day from 6:30 to 10:30, in one of the hotel's restaurants. The hotel can say whether a room rate includes it.
Yes, the property on Balluta Bay was formerly Le Méridien St. Julian's and now trades as a Marriott, so older references to that name point to this hotel.
The hotel stands in St Julian's, on Balluta Bay, with 301 rooms and a five-star rating. It was built on the grounds of a 19th-century villa.
Two room categories are sold on the view. Deluxe Rooms have balconies over the bay, and Junior Suites pair a private balcony with sea views and more space. Club Rooms and Suites include M Club access, and the hotel can tell you what it covers.
Walk the waterfront to see the neo-Gothic Carmelite Parish Church and the Art Nouveau Balluta Buildings.
Inside, the Marriott Fitness Centre holds an indoor heated pool, with a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, squash court and Technogym equipment. Treatments are at the Myoka Lotus Spa.
Airport Direct buses run from Malta International Airport to St Julian's. Give 39 Main Street, Balluta Bay, as the address if you take a taxi, and ask the hotel about parking if you are driving.
The hotel has four restaurants, and one of them serves breakfast.
Outdoors there are two pool areas. The garden pool has a children's splash pool beside it, with a bar and restaurant in the gardens. The Sundeck Pool and Bar, on the top floor, serves cocktails and light snacks through the day.
Under-16s are restricted at the indoor pool from 12pm to 6pm, so use the splash pool in those hours.
Paceville's casinos and clubs are in the neighbouring district if you want an evening out. Valletta makes a day out, and the tallinja app has the bus times.
Nearest first, all within 23 minutes on foot from the door.

The town
St Julian's wraps round three small bays, Balluta, Spinola and St George's, joined by a promenade along the water. Portomaso's marina and the streets of Paceville fill the point between the last two.
Choose it for nights out, and sleep at the Balluta end if you want quiet ones.
