Boutique hotels in Birgu

Birgu, also called Vittoriosa, is the oldest of the Three Cities across the Grand Harbour from Valletta, with Fort St Angelo, a yacht marina and quiet limestone streets. It is a pleasant, local alternative to the capital, and a water taxi crosses to Valletta.

Where to stay

Locanda La Gelsomina is a stylish, family-run boutique with just four rooms in a historic limestone house, rated 9.3 on myboutiquehotel.com. Yolanda Boutique Hotel is a three-star property with a complimentary continental breakfast. 23 Boutique is an adults-only hotel in a historical district near the marina. Sally Port Suites, Jean De Valette Boutique Living and Palazzo Rosaria Boutique Hotel also appear in marina listings, but their locations were not confirmed.

Good to know

Fort St Angelo is worth a visit. The best view of Valletta is from the Birgu waterfront at dusk.
