ROSSELLI AX PRIVILEGE

While the Rosselli family crest remains evident throughout the hotel, the remainder of the interiors have undergone a thoroughly modern remake. From the dazzling white marble of the central lobby to the clutch of 25 creatively styled rooms and suites, a colourful design flair is evident on every level of the palazzo. The theme and outlook of the rooms vary considerably, but all feature top-of-the range tech, rich furnishings and high-quality amenities. For an extra helping of indulgence, the Don Pietro rooms offer a private wellness area with sauna, while design lovers will revel in the inspiring colour palettes and creative features of the Three Herons Junior Suites.

Dining at the Rosselli is always a highlight. Inspired by the tailors workshops that used to line Merchants Street, the highly-acclaimed Grain Street and Under Grain restaurants are some of the city’s most fashionable eateries. The latter has been the proud owner of a Michelin star for three consecutive years, with stellar chef Victor Borg having returned to his native Malta to oversee the inspiring menus at both venues. In a continuation of the theme, the Over Grain rooftop cocktail lounge is a superb venue from which to take in the glimmering lights over Sliema and the expansive waterfront.
