Elegant five-star hotel on the grounds of a 1920s Augustinian priory, steps from St George's Bay. This luxury property blends historic architecture with modern amenities including rooftop restaurant and spa.
Hyatt Regency Malta is a five-star luxury hotel set on the grounds of a restored 1920s Augustinian priory in Ta' Giorni, St Julian's. The hotel blends the historic stone architecture of the original priory — a neighbourhood landmark featuring arched cloisters and a chapel — with thoroughly contemporary luxury interiors, creating a property unlike any other hotel in Malta. The Ta' Giorni district sits between St George's Bay and the upper reaches of St Julian's, within easy distance of Paceville, the Sliema ferry, and the coastal road.
The Hyatt Regency Malta opened in 2020 after extensive restoration and new construction, bringing a globally recognised luxury brand to the island's competitive hospitality market. The priory's stone cloisters, arched corridors, and chapel elements have been preserved and integrated into the hotel's public areas, creating atmospheric settings for lounging, dining, and socialising within a genuinely historic shell. Guest room wings are contemporary additions designed to complement the original structure.
The hotel offers 157 guest rooms and suites across several categories: Standard Rooms, King or Twin Rooms, Club Rooms with Regency Club Lounge access, and one- and two-bedroom suites. All rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, premium bedding, walk-in rain showers, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Upper-floor rooms face the Mediterranean, while others overlook the priory gardens or internal courtyards.
Taro, the hotel's rooftop restaurant and bar, is among Malta's most acclaimed dining venues, serving Asian-inspired cuisine — including sushi, grilled dishes, and creative cocktails — with panoramic views from the upper terrace. The ground-floor restaurant serves an all-day Mediterranean menu within the restored priory setting. The pool deck and bar provide a tranquil space for daytime relaxation.
The Hyatt Regency Spa delivers treatments in a dedicated facility, and the heated outdoor pool and well-equipped fitness centre complement the wellness offering. The Regency Club Lounge, available to eligible guests, provides a private space with complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails.
