Whether it’s a weekend of romance or a culinary retreat that you’re after, here’s what awaits when you combine a stay at Rosselli AX Privilege with a meal at Under Grain.
1. A quiet moment in the courtyard
Your evening begins the moment you step inside our 5-star hotel in Valletta called Rosselli AX Privilege, a beautifully restored palazzo in the heart of Valletta. Once the home of merchant and goldsmith Pietro Rosselli, this noble house still whispers stories of love and legacy. Built in the 1600s and lovingly restored, the hotel pays tribute to Pietro and his wife, Alusietta Massa.
At its centre, you’ll find a peaceful internal courtyard, a space to slow down and breathe in the romance. Take a seat by the original 400-year-old fountain, with an aperitif, and let the gentle sound of water ease you into the evening. It’s the perfect prelude to your fine dining experience in Valletta.
2. Michelin star magic awaits
Descend to Under Grain and you enter a space where elegance meets intimacy. Tucked beneath our 5-star hotel in Valletta, this vaulted cellar is like a hidden secret and always sets the scene for unforgettable night of dining. Inspired by the tailor shops that once lined Merchants Street, the restaurant’s décor is rich in subtle storytelling, featuring decorative nods to sewing patterns, fabric displays, and even pin-cushion bill holders. Naturally, it’s not just the design that stands out. With a coveted star from the Michelin Guide, Under Grain delivers a dining experience that’s as thoughtful as it is delicious.
