Gracing St John Street in Valletta since the late 16th century
About Us
Built in the sixteenth century, this majestic palazzo, a Valletta landmark on St John Street, was converted into a hotel in the late nineteenth century. Its glory days coincided with the island’s colonial past in which Valletta was a hive of activity with British servicemen, traders and travellers flocking though its narrow streets.
The property was purchased by its current owners at the turn of the century who undertook the restoration and re-fitting of the hotel, dragging it into the twenty-first century. Whilst respecting all of the original, the hotel now boasts twenty-three uniquely styled and individually decorated rooms and suites.
A peaceful courtyard and magnificent rooftop terrace with expansive views of the Grand Harbour will add that something more which ensures a seamless, memorable sojourn in the heart of Malta’s capital.

The Cumberland Hotel
Great Location , Great accommodation. All rooms well appointed. Would recommend the deluxe double , although this does not have a private balcony, the fully opening large skylight brings the warm fresh outdoor indoors. The wonderful roof terrace gives you more space facilities and a better outlook than the private balconies.
The Cumberland Hotel
The room was beautiful, very clean and very friendly staff. I especially loved the terrace as we had a lovely view of the capital. Bathroom was a little small but very clean. All covid-19 regulations were followed throughout our stay which was a bonus. We were also given a free room upgrade which was extremely generous! Breakfast was exceptional, one of the best breakfast meals I’ve ever taken at a hotel. This is easily one of the best if not the best stay we’ve ever had in Malta! Will definitely consider coming again.
