Hilton has opened its first DoubleTree property in Malta.

The 485-bedroom beachfront DoubleTree by Hilton Malta has opened in St Paul’s Bay, in the resort of Qawra.

The hotel is 35 minutes by car from Malta International Airport and within walking distance of a bus terminal, offering easy access to all major attractions. A Myoka Spa will open in June within the hotel.

Senior Vice President Continental Europe Hilton David Kelly said: “The opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Malta is a significant milestone for Hilton as we introduce the brand to the Maltese Islands.

“This hotel embodies our commitment to heartfelt experiences, combining the warm, welcoming service that DoubleTree by Hilton is known for, with the unique beauty and rich historic tapestry of Malta.”
