AC Hotel by Marriott St. Julian’s brings Marriott’s The Perfectly Precise Hotel experience to the vibrant coastal town of St. Julian’s on the Mediterranean island of Malta. Opened in May 2023, the new lifestyle hotel is located in the heart of town, within proximity to beaches, restaurants and the capital city of Valletta, making it the perfect base for exploring everything Malta has to offer.

The modern design is a blend of form and function. Sleek, elegant and simplistic, the traditional Maltese color scheme runs throughout public spaces and guestrooms. The color palette takes inspiration from the natural and urban environment around the hotel, incorporating neutral, calming colors and natural materials, evoking a strong sense of place and connection to its location.

“We are delighted to be bringing AC Hotels’ design-driven guest experience to Malta,” said Matthew Boettcher, vice president and global brand leader, Distinctive Select Brands. “The hotel marks Marriott Bonvoy’s third property in this vibrant Mediterranean island destination,”

The new AC Hotel by Marriott St. Julian’s offers 106 modern guestrooms and suites, with plush bedding, Nespresso coffee machines and an ergonomic workspace to provide guests with comfort and convenience.

In keeping with Malta’s exemplary food scene, AC Hotel by Marriott St. Julian’s features the AC Lounge on the rooftop terrace, a great place to unwind with a signature cocktail and European tapas along with views of St. Julian’s skyline. The creative cocktail menu features classics with a modern twist, including the signature AC Gin Tonic. Other facilities include a heated outdoor rooftop pool, an indoor pool, a meeting space with seating for up to 40 people and a gym featuring state-of-the-art Matrix equipment.

AC Hotel by Marriott St. Julian’s is located centrally on a quiet road just a stone’s throw from St. George’s Bay, the Bay Street shopping complex and other entertainment hubs, offering the ideal retreat from which to discover both the traditional charm and cosmopolitan spirit of the town.

The AC Kitchen offers a European-inspired breakfast each morning, and guestrooms and public spaces evoke a certain sophistication, featuring sleek furnishings, curated artwork and intuitive technology. AC Hotel by Marriott St. Julian’s is situated about 7 miles from Malta International Airport, a 15-minute taxi ride.

Explore Portugal on a Wine Tasting Tour with a Touch of History

All it takes is one glance at the grounds of Quinta Dona Maria, which includes a grand villa and surrounding gardens, to realize wine tasting in Portugal comes with a good dose of history. The vineyard is located in Estremoz, just northeast of the first-century Roman ruins found in Evora. In 1718 King João V built this estate for his lover, Dona Maria. When she died, the current owner’s ancestors purchased the land and have been making wine ever since. Taste the wine, which is terrific, especially the full-bodied red Dona Maria Grand Reserve. Then venture inside a building that stores large amphora vases, including one dating back to the 1200s.
