LA FALCONERIA

by Jeremy

Behind the adamantine fortifications in Valletta, you can find that the 2018 European Capital of Culture is home to groundbreaking contemporary architecture, worldly cuisine, and a boutique hotel scene that can be reflected admirably in La Falconeria. The 16th century has brought about the elegant implications of Baroque elements, hence the Rococo style of the hotel. The building is a relic of the past, contrasting modern luxury with century-old Renaissance discoveries, serenaded with marble flooring and artistic finishes. Half of the building had to be rebuilt as a consequence of WWII, and in unearthing the nooks of its remains, an ancient cave was discovered. It is now used as a cave pool on the underground floor.

At La Falconeria, you will be situated in the heart of Valletta, with many of the city’s historical landmarks within a short foot drive. The harbour by way of the Sliema Ferry can be found within a stone’s throw away, allowing you to visit Sliema’s natural pools and stroll to the nearby picturesque St.Julian’s Bay. Come at night, and you can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of Valletta, as the city is most popular for day trips.

If you are a fool for rooftops, stay from the third floor upwards to enjoy envious views of Valletta. Guests can watch half of the city, with the harbour and distant sea views in the backdrop.

OUR STORY

OUR STORY

This gem packs enough amenities to enjoy Malta from the inside, with its cave pool, fully equipped gymnasium and restaurant, and from the outdoors with its private concierge service. The property consists of forty-three rooms split into seven different categories. The courtyard is the centre of attention, connecting through the lobby and the hotel’s lounge area.

If you are a sucker for good food, besides being surrounded by top restaurants in the area such as Legligin, Rubino and other renowned foodie’s havens, La Falconeria has an in-house restaurant that goes by the name of L’Artiglio (which means ‘The Claw’ in Italian). This Mediterranean restaurant serves daily specials that are in season, reflecting Malta’s incredible fresh produce. From the deep end of the restaurant, you can see the semi-open kitchen where the cooks do their daily specials, with the cocktail bar on the opposite end for an after-dinner treat.

All of the rooms in La Falconeria are traditionally cultivated with Maltese tiled floors, and the rooms all pack modern amenities that include dozens of TV channels and free high-speed WiFi. The façade of the hotel is detailed with various balconies of different classical styles, French balconies on the first floor, traditional Maltese balconies on higher floors, open balconies for the suites, and a 35 square metre terrace for the Executive Suite.
