The Vibe & Shared spaces

Though it does not look like much from the outside, Courtyard Sliema is beautifuly designed modern property. Guests are welcomed by a spacious lobby with tall ceilings, accentuated by gently lit white columns leading the eye to a cluster of lampshades. To the right of the registration is plenty of cafe-style seating, mixed-use benches and booths.

While the ground floor serves as a vacation gateway, the true leisure begins on the top floor. The Courtyard Sliema rooftop is where guests will find the hotel’s restaurant and outdoor pool. 

The hotel team are available for all and any assistance you might need, including booking local tours and excursions. G’Uniqo, where you will find every meal, looks out on the Mediterranean Sea. The dining room decor takes from the regional colours: sandy brown and sea blue, with splashes of white to balance things out. 

Out on the terrace, guests gather for lazy afternoons around the pool, tanning, reading, napping, or simply enjoying the endless vistas. G’Uniqo team services around the pool, offering guests hot and cold beverages and food from the restaurant menu.

On-site dinning 

Every meal at G’Uniqo restaurant has a handful of local dishes like Kisra Ħobż (sourdough with sundried tomatoes and goat cheese), Maltese sausages, Baked Gnocchi, and Rabbit Ravioli. Between pinsas, pastas, and burgers are larger maincourses like the Courtyard’s Signature Butcher’s Feast, chicken, steaks, fish of the day, and vegetarian options. 

The daily happy hour includes half-priced cocktails, which you can enjoy by the pool. Fresh milkshakes and shakes are also available and are perfect for a scorching rooftop afternoon. 

Inside the Suite 

The hotel has 151 rooms across nine floors. Each suite is thoughtfully decorated with plenty of space to store your things. The fridge is large enough to stock up on snacks (there is a grocery store nearby), while the coffee books on the shelf will speak to local history and food. 

Many of the rooms have narrow balconies, all rooms have at least a small sitting area and a desk. The suites are equipped with sofa beds, which will be opened and prepared as a bed on arrival. The Junior Suite has a large table which can be comfortably used for meals and family games.

Pool & Fitness facilities 

In addition to the rooftop pool, guests also have access to a heated indoor pool, perfect for a rainy day. Robes and towels are provided, and in the corner is a small sauna. Near the pool is a spacious, fairly well-equipped fitness centre. This room has a weight rack, a couple of machines, and a row of cardio equipment. It does get rather hot down there, so the provided towels come in handy. Guests can also take advantage of spa services like massages and revitalising treatments.
