The George Urban Boutique Hotel

The George Urban Boutique Hotel details

This brand-new hotel is a haven of luxury close to the bays and nightspots of hip St Julian’s.

This high-spec hotel is something of a showpiece. Built only recently, it’s a designer haven filled with luxuries, like Wi-Fi, flatscreen TVs, and – even better – a state-of-the-art spa.

The lobby is as sophisticated as they come. Think chunky turquoise and ivory sofas, vast windows and monochrome walls. And the contemporary look reigns supreme, with the breakfast restaurant and lounge bar both taking their cue from the modern school of design. Rooms get the same treatment. A palette of chocolate browns and vanilla tones has been teamed with high-gloss chairs, boutiquey beds and dark-wood floors. Wall-hung TVs and walk-in rain showers complete the picture. There’s a choice of rooms as well. Take your pick from double rooms overlooking the inner courtyard, deluxe rooms with balconies, and Junior Suites with sitting areas.

When you want to unwind, head for the Roman-style spa or the 8th-floor rooftop pool. Surrounded by decking and sunbeds, it’s an oasis of calm with 360-degree views over St Julian’s and the Mediterranean. The finishing touch comes in the form of an open-air bar, where you can sit down to tapas-style snacks and drinks.

Last but not least, the location is really convenient. The hotel is in a sidestreet in the lively Paceville area, with restaurants, bars and shops close by. And when you want a change from the pool, the sands at St George’s Bay beach and rocks at Spinola Bay are both an easy stroll away.
