Housed in a meticulously restored 17th-century noble palazzo, it offers an unparalleled experience of luxury and historic charm, away from modern hustle.

Baroque Stories and Individual Design

Every single one of the 17 rooms and suites has been individually designed to reflect its historic status, using antique furniture, luxurious Parisian fabrics, and paintings. Rooms overlook the bastions or silent alleys, guaranteeing an atmosphere of tranquility and a luxury that blends with the surrounding Baroque architecture.

Award-Winning Haute Cuisine Culinary Experience

The hotel is renowned for its gastronomic offering, particularly its haute cuisine restaurant, which boasts prestigious awards. Dining here is an event in itself, with dishes that combine Mediterranean tradition with contemporary techniques, all in an elegant and refined atmosphere that reflects the exclusivity of Relais & Châteaux.

Panoramic Bastion Views and Quiet Luxury

The location on Mdina's centuries-old bastions provides breathtaking panoramic views over the Maltese countryside. The hotel embodies the concept of quiet luxury, a serene and unhurried opulence, where attention to detail and impeccable service create an oasis of peace and pampering in an extraordinary historic setting.

An Exclusive Retreat in the Heart of the Silent City

Staying at The Xara Palace means fully immersing oneself in the magical atmosphere of Mdina, known as the 'Silent City'. Once the day visitors leave, guests can enjoy its unique tranquility and illuminated streets, living a piece of Maltese history in absolute exclusivity.
