Set in its own mature and landscaped gardens, the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa is the perfect base from where to explore the island as it is only 4km away from the Walled City of Mdina, 8km away from the Capital Valleta and 7km from the resort of St Julians, yet far enough to offer a world of tranquillity and relaxation. Complimentary transport is also available to Valletta, Sliema, Marca golf club and Corinthia Hotel St. George¿s Bay, (summer period only). There are airport transfers and there is also a new complimentary shuttle service to St Julian¿s to be available in the evening, 7 days a week. With a 100 year old restored villa as its main dining venue, this boutique hotel is all about warmth, personal attention and old fashioned elegance - a breath of fresh air, in today¿s world of impersonal hotels. Guests receive a complimentary welcome drink upon arrival and within the hotel¿s gardens, the Athenaeum Spa by Algotherm offers an escape into a world of bliss and relaxation, with a choice of over 50 different signature treatments, and extensive spa facilities. Other amenities include a coffee shop, beauty salon and barbeque area. All this, along with impeccable service and superb hospitality you would expect from a Corinthia Hotel, will guarantee the perfect stay on the magical island of Malta. The hotel has also been awarded `Malta¿s Leading Hotel¿ at the World Travel Awards 2009.
