The 136-room Victoria Hotel is an upper-middle-range, traditionally elegant property in Sliema’s center. It has a quiet location within easy walking distance to the beach, port, shopping, and dining. A rooftop pool with a summer restaurant is a highlight, along with a charming English pub and an elegant fine-dining establishment. Guests receive direct access to its sister hotel's luxury indoor and outdoor pools, full-service spa, and fitness center. Four event spaces are popular for private functions. Traditionally decorated, classic rooms and suites -- which range in design from outdated to somewhat more modern -- have minibars and flat-screen TVs; most offer balconies or terraces. For more luxurious interiors, consider its sister property, The Palace.
