Palazzo Capua, Malta (5*)

Palazzo Capua is a 200 year old, splendid monument testament of a bygone age. It is one of the oldest and finest buildings in Sliema, Malta. Its majestic staircase, gallery and porticos that surround the palace give it an exceptional architectural elegance.

Its allure is further enhanced by the historical romance bound to its past residents, most prominent among who were the star-crossed residents who gave it their name, Prince of Capua - Carlo di Borbone, and his Irish wife Penelope.

His brother, Ferdinand II - King of the Two Sicilies, subsequently exiled him and confiscated all his property.

Today, Palazzo Capua has been carefully and luxuriously restored to its formal glory. It has been transformed into a charming and elegant venue for medium-sized conferences and receptions and as a small, all-suite hotel.

This architecturally-rich, neoclassical palace also forms an integral part of a larger complex incorporating conference and accommodation facilities at The Victoria Hotel (4*) and The Palace hotel (5*) complex.
