Rosselli - AX Privilege

Rosselli - AX Privilege is a five-star hotel at 167 Merchants Street in Valletta, Malta, at the corner with St Christopher Street. Merchants Street is one of the capital's central grid streets, running parallel to Republic Street and lined with market stalls, cafes and shops. St John's Co-Cathedral, the Grand Master's Palace, the Upper Barrakka Gardens and the Valletta Waterfront can all be reached on foot within minutes, and the main bus terminus at the city gate is a short walk away. The hotel occupies the 17th-century Baroque palazzo known as Casa Rosselli Massa, and the building's heritage is a central part of its appeal. The property has 25 rooms, which keeps the atmosphere intimate, and accommodation is divided into rooms and suites, with air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. Standout amenities include a bar and a restaurant on site. The restaurant, Under Grain, holds a Michelin star, making the hotel a draw for food-focused visitors as well as overnight guests, and breakfast is typically served in the same venue. Service is boutique and concierge-oriented, well suited to couples, culture-focused travellers and those who want to be in the middle of Valletta's historic centre. Typical double room rates run from about EUR 220 to EUR 450 per night depending on season, indicative rather than live figures. Because Valletta is a compact, largely pedestrian city with steep side streets, guests normally explore on foot. Merchants Street is busiest on weekday mornings when the market operates, so lighter sleepers may prefer upper-floor rooms. Early reservation is wise for summer and festival weeks, when the capital is at its busiest.
