New Hyatt hotel opens in Malta

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has celebrated the opening of Hyatt Centric Malta, marking the debut of the Hyatt Centric brand in Malta. As the seventh Hyatt Centric in Europe, this expansion reflects Hyatt’s accelerated brand presence in countries bordering the Mediterranean, with a portfolio spanning 13 different brands and over 80 properties. Located in the heart of St. Julian’s, the island’s bustling resort town and coastal gem, the hotel is ideally situated for guests to explore the island and its history.

Central location

Nestled on one of St. Julian’s most vibrant streets, Hyatt Centric Malta is just moments away from the scenic marina, world-class restaurants, and pristine beaches, and nearly 7 miles from the UNESCO World Heritage city of Valletta. The property also serves as a launchpad for those wanting to experience popular nearby dive sites, such as the Blue Hole and Blue Lagoon, placing adventurous travellers in the heart of the action.

“The opening of Hyatt Centric Malta is an important addition to the fast-growing Hyatt Centric brand, joining six existing European properties, as we further strengthen our lifestyle and leisure portfolio in Europe,” said Michel Morauw, Managing Director, EAME North, Hyatt. “We are delighted to unlock opportunities for adventurous travellers to explore this thriving destination.”

Modern design reflecting the destination

Boasting 170 guest rooms, this newly built hotel incorporates modern design touches that embrace an open space layout, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere while also speaking to Malta’s rich history, scenery and traditions. Each room is appointed with contemporary furnishings, striking a balance between sophistication and comfort. The urban style is enriched by a palette inspired by Malta’s vibrant colours, adding warmth and a sense of place. From the blue guestroom doors with bold bronze accents that mimic traditional Maltese homes, to the natural, earthy tones running throughout the hotel that symbolize the colours of the country – Hyatt Centric Malta has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the local culture.  

Locally inspired dining experiences and wellness

At the hotel’s restaurant, JUMU, guests can indulge in tantalizing flavours such as ‘il- tarja moqlija’, ‘torta tal laham’, and its signature ‘JUMU market’ which are designed to have a contemporary take on the location’s past, whilst still respecting its roots. While dining, guests will enjoy a vibrant ambience, which captures the essence of the Mediterranean. In addition to offering fresh, locally sourced dishes, the menu promises innovative creations to surprise and delight every palate.

In addition to its exceptional culinary offering, Hyatt Centric Malta offers signature leisure and wellness experiences for guests to relax and recharge. After a day of exploration, guests can also enjoy the hotel’s rooftop pool offering unparalleled views of the surrounding sea. The boutique wellness centre offers an indoor pool, treatment room, hot tub, and Finnish sauna. A dedicated gym with the latest equipment caters to those looking to stay active and energized during their stay.

For a smaller reception, business lunch or dinner, Hyatt Centric Malta has a dedicated 1,808 square feet of event space including three meeting rooms.

"We are thrilled to welcome guests to the first Hyatt Centric hotel in Malta, in the beautiful town of St. Julian’s,” said Andrea Farrugia, hotel manager, Hyatt Centric Malta. “The hotel creates an engaging guest experience that not only captures the essence of Malta but also offers savvy travellers a wealth of culture and historical experiences on their doorstep.”
