"In the eyes of the travel world, the capital of Malta has been transformed seemingly all at once from a well-preserved 16th-century city to something much more glamorous and, in places, more modern. Though it stands on the site of one of Valletta’s original 19th-century hotels, the Embassy is more a reincarnation than a renovation; its spaces, both public and private, pay tribute to tradition but are ultimately the very picture of contemporary boutique-style luxury hospitality." - Tablet Hotels
