The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux is a unique 5-star boutique hotel, nestled within the walls of the fortified city of Mdina, the old capital of Malta. Housed in a meticulously restored 17th-century noble palazzo, it offers an unparalleled experience of luxury and historic charm, away from modern hustle.
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.
The hotel is renowned for its gastronomic offering, particularly its haute cuisine restaurant, which boasts prestigious awards.

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.
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.
