One of the best things about staying in Valletta hotels is how close you’ll be to world-class museums and galleries. Malta’s capital packs centuries of history into its streets, from prehistoric artefacts to Baroque treasures and tales of wartime resilience. Within minutes of your Valletta accommodation, you can uncover stories that shaped not just the island, but the Mediterranean itself.
Step into the Grand Master’s Palace, once the seat of power for the Knights of St John and today home to Malta’s President. Its ornate halls and Palace Armoury brim with tapestries, period furniture, and weapons that speak of a chivalric past. For an even earlier chapter, the National Museum of Archaeology showcases prehistoric figurines like the Sleeping Lady and the Venus of Malta, alongside artefacts that bring Malta’s temple culture to life.
At the tip of the peninsula, Fort St Elmo and the National War Museum trace Malta’s military story from the Great Siege of 1565 to WWII, while MUŻA, the National Museum of Art, offers a quiet pause with masterpieces from Mattia Preti to contemporary Maltese artists. From art lovers to history buffs, a stay with AX Hotels Valletta ensures the city’s cultural treasures are always at your doorstep.

Valletta may be a small capital, but with 28 churches packed into less than a square kilometre, it’s fair to say faith and tradition are at the city’s very core. Staying at one of our Valletta hotels puts you right on the doorstep of these historic landmarks, each with its own story, artistry, and devotion. Visitors who enjoy exploring cultural heritage will find that Valletta’s churches and chapels are not just places of worship, but also treasure troves of Baroque art, ornate architecture, and centuries-old traditions.
Highlights include St John’s Co-Cathedral, a Baroque masterpiece built by the Knights in the 16th century and home to Caravaggio’s only signed work, The Beheading of St John the Baptist. The Basilica of St Dominic is famed for its dramatic paintings by Giuseppe Calì, while the Church of St Paul’s Shipwreck honours Malta’s patron saint with an annual feast every 10th February, when its wooden statue is carried through Valletta’s narrow streets in a colourful procession.
From Easter pageantry to Christmas liturgies, Malta’s capital city celebrates holy occasions with processions and deep-rooted traditions. It’s another reason why choosing a boutique hotel in Valletta with AX Hotels Malta means you’ll be perfectly placed to soak in the city’s timeless spirit.
