A sequence of restored townhouses along St Barbara Bastion forms Iniala Valletta, with balconies and windows opening directly over the Grand Harbour. Rooms, suites and private residences combine preserved Maltese stone with highly individual interiors by international designers, moving from sculptural minimalism to richer colour and pattern. ION Harbour occupies the rooftop with two-Michelin-starred cooking, while Essensi Spa is set within the historic fabric below. Solis Pool Club adds a small elevated pool and terrace, framed by Valletta's bastions, church domes and working harbour.
