Stay here for a room in a Baroque palace from 1606, with a pool deck on the roof that looks over the sea and the city.
Hotel, Valletta. Meridian Dispatch.
Palais Le Brun is at 101 Old Bakery Street, Valletta, VLT0056, in the heart of the city's historic area. That is the address to give a driver or enter in a map app.
The hotel gives Malta International Airport as 8.3 km away, a journey of about 15 minutes. Drivers should call the front desk on +356 2226 0300 about parking.
Yes. Palais Le Brun has a pool deck on its rooftop terrace, which also holds a fitness centre. Guests who want the pool's opening months for their dates should ask the front desk.
Yes. Palais Le Brun has its own restaurant, which the hotel describes as elegant. Non-guests who want a table, and guests who want its hours, should ask the front desk.
The hotel's room pages give check-in at 14:00 and check-out at 11:00. Guests who want an early arrival or a late departure should ask the front desk, which answers on +356 2226 0300.
Yes. The Family Suite has two queen-sized beds and a mezzanine with a separate lounge area, and it sleeps up to four adults and one child. The hotel gives its size as 55 square metres.
Palais Le Brun stands at 101 Old Bakery Street, a block from Republic Street. The hotel counts the building among the earliest private homes put up in the city. In the early 1700s it was home to a knight, Claude LeBrun, and the hotel still carries his name.
Renovated from 2018, the palace is now a hotel with 39 rooms and suites. Its restaurant occupies the former service wing. The rooftop terrace also holds a fitness centre.
Cafes, restaurants and bars line most of Valletta's streets and alleyways, so you can walk out to dinner. The city rises steeply from two deep harbours, Marsamxett and Grand Harbour, so your walks down to the water run on slopes.
Open to the city, the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony has a Maltese balcony with city views. A Deluxe Double Room without one overlooks a traditional courtyard.
For outdoor space, the Superior Double Room with Terrace adds a terrace with city views, plus extra space to work or relax in. Each suite with a hot tub has it on a private terrace. The Duplex Suite has a mezzanine, a Maltese balcony and windows two storeys high.
Head up to the roof for the pool deck.
Walk over to Republic Street for your first outing. Casa Rocca Piccola, at number 74, shows its main-floor rooms and then takes you down into wartime bomb shelters cut from the rock.
The house is about 600 metres from the Bus Terminus, so it also fits a day when you go out by bus.
Nearest first, all within 8 minutes on foot from the door.
