At Rosselli, we offer an aesthetic escape that makes your vacation in Malta feel immersive and entirely memorable. Let us show you around.
A luxury hotel in Malta steeped in timeless romance
Set on Valletta’s storied Merchants Street, Rosselli AX Privilege is a boutique luxury hotel that’s a living tribute to a real love story. Once home to nobleman Pietro Rosselli and his wife Alusietta Massa, the palazzo has been beautifully restored to honour their legacy. In fact, you’ll spot portraits of the couple in our reception area, a tribute to their enduring romance.
Throughout the hotel, original architectural features meet thoughtful modern design, creating a warm, elegant atmosphere that wraps around you from the moment you arrive. We aspire to be a place that invites you to feel in step with the timeless beauty of the city.
Rooms that feel like a work of art
Each guestroom at Rosselli is designed with care, offering a distinctive space that turns your vacation in Malta into a deeply personal experience. They’re a curated blend of classic elegance and boutique character. Step inside and be greeted by bold wallpapers, handpicked ornaments, textured rugs, and patterned tiles that pop with personality. Some rooms feature split-level mezzanine layouts and traditional wooden Maltese gallariji, beautiful enclosed balconies that welcome sunlight and overlook the rhythm of Merchants Street below.
A luxury hotel that’s home to Malta Michelin magic
The design story flows seamlessly from our luxury hotel into Under Grain, our Michelin restaurant located beneath Rosselli in a suave vaulted cellar. Inspired by Merchants Street’s tailoring history, the space evokes elegance through sewing-pattern inspired menus, vintage clothing displays, and even pin-cushion bill holders. The atmosphere is carefully crafted to enhance your fine dining experience, offering the kind of aesthetic where every detail matters. What’s more, the considered décor adds to the storytelling of the cuisine to come.
Dishes that look as beautiful as they taste
At our Michelin star restaurant, you can expect a visual experience to match the exquisite flavours. Every dish is composed with an artist’s eye by our Executive Chef Victor Borg. Get ready to be dazzled by vivid colours, careful placement, and ingredients that complement one another like brushstrokes on a canvas. From the first course to dessert, it’s a feast for the eyes with each plate. Then with every bite, it’s time to enjoy flavours that are rich, refined, and deeply satisfying. It’s no surprise that Under Grain is regularly named the one of the best places to eat in Malta.
