Cugó Gran Macina Grand Harbour

Cugó Gran Macina Grand Harbour is a five-star hotel on Triq il-31 ta' Marzu in Senglea, one of the Three Cities on the south-eastern shore of Malta's Grand Harbour. Senglea occupies a narrow peninsula, and the hotel's position gives views across the water toward Valletta and Fort St Angelo. The nearest ferry stop is Bormla, reached by a footbridge, and the crossing to Valletta is short, so guests can reach the capital's sights without a car. Senglea's quiet streets, Gardjola Gardens with its famous watchtower and the neighbouring waterfronts of Birgu and Cospicua are all within walking distance. The hotel was created from a restored building and has about 21 vaulted suites. The stone vaults and thick walls give the interiors a distinctive historic character, and the harbour views are a defining feature of the stay. All rooms are suites, with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and the hotel has a rooftop pool, which gives views over the harbour and is a pleasant place to spend summer afternoons. A restaurant on site serves meals, and breakfast is typically provided there. Service is boutique in style and suited to couples and travellers who prefer a quieter alternative to staying in Valletta, with the option of reaching the capital by ferry. Typical double room rates run from about EUR 200 to EUR 420 per night depending on season and suite, indicative rather than live figures. The reception number is +356 2711 2711. Visitors should remember that the Three Cities are hilly and have historic cobbled streets. Taxis can be arranged for airport transfers, which usually take around 15 to 20 minutes by road.
