Best for

Choose this central St. Julian's base if you want beach time alongside restaurants and entertainment, rather than a secluded coastal retreat.

What makes it special

Follow the concierge's suggestion to take the ferry from Sliema to Valletta, making the harbor crossing part of your sightseeing day.

Room to consider

Choose the Grand Suite when sharing with family, as its second bathroom lets more than one person get ready at a time.

Insider tip

Check Skybeach charges for your room category before reserving; the rooftop opens seasonally from mid-April through October, weather permitting.

InterContinental Malta

InterContinental Malta places a full-scale hotel beside St. George's Bay, with St. Julian's restaurants and Paceville's nightlife close at hand. Its 481 rooms, beach club, three pools and substantial meeting facilities make it a practical base for a Malta visit that mixes work and leisure. The setting is energetic rather than secluded: you can spend the morning by the water, visit Valletta in the afternoon and return to a neighborhood that stays active well into the evening.

The hotel sits in the St. George's Bay area of St. Julian's. The bay and the hotel's beach club give guests a straightforward route to the water, while nearby Paceville has a very different rhythm after dark. Restaurants, bars and shopping are close enough to make an evening out easy without arranging a long return journey. That convenience is a genuine reason to stay here, particularly on a first visit when you may want to see several parts of the island.

It is worth being clear about the neighborhood. St. Julian's can be busy, especially around its entertainment streets; it will not feel like a quiet Maltese village or a stay within Valletta's historic center. Travelers who expect to spend most days exploring and enjoy a lively base will make better use of this address than those seeking near-total quiet. The contrast between the hotel's pools and the streets outside is part of its character.

IHG lists 481 rooms in total. Classic Rooms measure 35 square meters, with a king or two double beds, while Premium Rooms are larger at 40 to 45 square meters. The hotel's room descriptions include private balconies, work space and coffee-making facilities. Those details are useful on a stay that alternates between sightseeing, meetings and time at the hotel. A Classic Room makes sense when the room is mainly a place to return to after a day out; the extra area of a Premium Room can matter more for a longer stay or shared occupancy.

The suite range offers a more substantial change in layout, not merely a different view. Junior Suites start at 55 square meters, One Bedroom Suites at 60 square meters, and larger categories include the Grand, Panoramic, Penthouse and Duplex Suites. Families should compare bed configurations and connecting-room availability for their dates rather than assume that every suite has the same sleeping arrangement. The Duplex Suite's two king beds and two single beds, for example, present a different proposition from a one-bedroom layout.

Club InterContinental adds a quieter place to pause between outings, with lounge dining and views across Malta. Category details matter here. The hotel's Club Room page describes lounge access but says SkyBeach can be booked for an additional charge; its Club Suite page includes both the lounge and rooftop pool. Check the precise room terms when the rooftop is central to the stay.

The InterContinental Beach Club is the hotel's sandy foothold on St. George's Bay. IHG describes sunbeds, umbrellas and towels, along with a beach bar and restaurant. It is a useful arrangement in a built-up resort district: guests can move between the beach and the rest of the hotel without planning a separate beach day. It does not turn this central St. Julian's address into a remote coastal retreat, and the surrounding bay remains part of an active urban setting.

There are three distinct pool settings. The indoor heated pool sits near the spa and fitness center, giving families and swimmers an alternative to the outdoor areas. Narcis is the hotel's lagoon-style outdoor pool and poolside dining area. On the nineteenth floor, SkyBeach has an infinity pool with broad views over the island and sea. It is the place to consider if a rooftop afternoon is a priority, though access depends on the booked category or a separate reservation and charge. Outdoor pool use and dining can vary with the season, so the exact arrangements are best checked for travel dates.

Waterbiscuit gives the hotel an all-day dining address, with a French-bistro influence and Mediterranean ingredients. It works as a convenient choice when a meeting runs late or when you would rather stay close to your room. Paranga offers a different evening: its waterside deck and Sicilian flavors bring the meal back to the coast. The beach club's casual service and Narcis poolside dining cover the less formal hours. Dining venues may operate differently across the year, but the contrast between a central restaurant, a seaside table and rooftop drinks gives the property useful range.

Carisma Spa & Wellness remains the named spa at the hotel. Its menu includes massages, face and body treatments and a Turkish hammam ritual. Nearby, Cynergi Health & Fitness and the indoor pool make it possible to keep a familiar exercise routine alongside spa time. This is a hotel where wellness sits within a larger, active property rather than defining an isolated retreat. Guests planning a specific treatment should arrange it ahead of time, particularly when a conference or group stay fills the hotel.

InterContinental Malta has an unusually strong events side for a St. Julian's leisure hotel. IHG lists 24 meeting rooms and a conference center accommodating functions of up to 1,700 people. The broad room inventory, exhibition foyer and audiovisual facilities support conferences and corporate gatherings, while the hotel's restaurants and leisure areas give delegates places to meet away from the program. Weddings and social occasions also fit the property, with the bay and rooftop adding settings beyond a conventional meeting room.

That scale helps explain why the hotel suits mixed-purpose trips. A business traveler can move from a morning session to the gym or beach; a family accompanying a conference guest has more to do on site than at a compact city hotel. Equally, a large event can change the atmosphere in the public areas. If a small, residential-feeling stay is the goal, the size of this property is a point to weigh, not a detail to overlook.

St. Julian's makes a flexible starting point for Valletta, Sliema and the rest of the island. Valletta's streets, museums and harbor viewpoints offer a markedly different day from St. George's Bay. Mdina, the Three Cities, Marsaxlokk and the Blue Grotto can also be planned as outings rather than reasons to change hotels. The pace of those trips depends on traffic and the chosen route; build in time for a relaxed return, especially if dinner reservations follow.

Malta International Airport is within a road transfer of the hotel, but IHG's own pages give different distance estimates. The hotel does not list an airport shuttle, so plan a taxi, private transfer or another suitable connection rather than assuming a scheduled hotel service. Sliema can be useful for onward ferry connections, while St. Julian's itself provides the easier base for guests whose evenings revolve around the bay.

InterContinental Malta is most compelling when its breadth will be used: a swim before breakfast, a day elsewhere on the island, dinner by the water and an early start for meetings are all plausible within one stay. Book the room category with care if lounge or SkyBeach access matters. For guests who value a lively St. Julian's location and a wide choice of facilities more than seclusion or historic atmosphere, the hotel's scale is an asset rather than a compromise.
