What makes it special

The building on Old Bakery Street dates from the early 1600s. Next door stands Palazzo Carafa, once the home of Grandmaster Gregorio Carafa of the Knights of St John.

Its six rooms and suites go by names, not numbers: Erskine, Sheridan, Christabel, Stanhope, Fayette and Hatley.

Valletta as a whole is a UNESCO World Heritage City, so the street outside the door belongs to the listed city.

Christabel, on the second storey of the house, has renovated beams and traditional Maltese tiles. Hatley is the suite arranged over two floors.

Fayette has two private roof terraces over the Valletta skyline, looking to a church dome and the sea beyond; the upper one holds a hot tub for four.

Visiting

89-92 Old Bakery Street is the address to give your driver. Tell the hotel beforehand if you will land late: the reception desk is staffed from 8am to 8pm daily.

Suite sizes differ: Hatley totals 65 square metres, and Christabel has 48 square metres and a private balcony above the street.

All of them come with a super king size bed, tea and coffee making, a minibar, an in-room safe, a flatscreen TV and free Wi-Fi.

A continental breakfast, included for every guest, is served in the hotel's restaurant.

Tips

St John's Co-Cathedral and Casa Rocca Piccola are both in Valletta, so you need no transport for either. The first holds Caravaggio's Beheading of Saint John the Baptist in its Oratory. The second takes you underground into World War 2 bomb shelters cut from the rock.

Before you travel, ask the hotel where to park and whether your suite is reached by lift or stairs.

The town

Staying in Valletta

About a kilometre from end to end, Valletta is the smallest capital in the European Union, with walls on every side. Republic Street crosses it from City Gate to Fort St Elmo, and the cathedral and both Barrakka gardens lie a few streets off it.

Yes, if the sights are the point of your trip. After dinner you walk home, with no ferry to catch.
