The Xara Palace, now a family-run, exclusive, boutique Hotel, originally served as a residence for the noble family Moscati Parisio. It was used by the British during the war. In 1996, the property was bought by the Zammit Tabona family with a vision to restore the building to its former glory, and for the delight of discerning visitors, to create a unique hotel experience, previously unavailable on the Maltese Islands. The Xara Palace is a magical place of charm, character and calm, a haven to the senses.
The Xara Palace Boutique Hotel is a unique 17th-century palace hidden away in the medieval fortified city of Mdina, the old capital of Malta.
Perched on centuries-old bastions, surrounded by stunning baroque architecture, The Xara Palace Relais & Châteaux, with its luxurious accommodation and award-winning haute cuisine, is truly a haven in which to pause and be pampered.
Meticulously and sensitively restored to reflect its former noble standing, the exclusive 5-Star boutique hotel boasts seventeen luxury rooms and suites enjoying stunning views, all individually and tastefully designed with antique furniture and paintings, luxurious Parisian fabrics and king size beds.
Our promise to our guests centres on an impeccable attention to detail – from the décor to the serene, unhurried pace of life at The Xara Palace Hotel, through every facet of our service – all setting the scene for nothing less than an exquisitely unforgettable holiday in Malta.
