The Phoenicia Malta has made history as the first hotel on the island to be shortlisted
for a prestigious Gold List Award.
Among the most coveted honours in the luxury travel industry, the Gold List Awards
from Luxury Travel Magazine set the benchmark for travel accolades in Australia and
across the globe, with a rigorous selection process that involves both a panel of
esteemed judges and a public vote.
The Phoenicia Malta, already the only Leading Hotel of the World in Malta, marks
another milestone in Maltese hospitality with its nomination in the Award’s Luxury
Hotels category. This category only recognises established hotels or resorts anywhere in
the world that have more than 51 rooms, and offers guests a superior luxury experience
with food and beverages, spa services, personalised customer service and high-comfort
rooms.
With its world-class standards, exceptional guest experiences and outstanding
facilities, from its award-winning Contessa restaurant to the exquisitely designed
Phoenicia Spa & Wellness, The Phoenicia Malta more than fits these entry criteria.
While highlighting the commitment to excellence at the island’s most iconic and historic
hotel, the historic moment also puts Malta on the map as a top-tier destination for
luxury travellers from around the world, including Australia.
“For the first time ever, a Malta hotel has made it to the shortlist for the Gold List
Awards, which is a huge testament to the hard work of every team member. As an
Australian, I know how prestigious these awards are to Australian operators – and now
with the growth in international travel by Aussies, there is an increase in the number of
international hotels and operators in these awards,” says Robyn Pratt, General Manager
of The Phoenicia Malta. “Reader voting is now open, so let’s bring this award home.
Please support The Phoenicia Malta by casting your vote and helping bring this
esteemed award to Malta, showcasing our island’s world-class hospitality to the world.”
Having been announced as part of the shortlist on 31 July, The Phoenicia Malta now
awaits a public vote to find out if it can add a Gold List Award to its growing list of
accolades. Public voting for the Gold List Awards remains open until 11:59pm (AEST)
on 29 August, with the winners set to be announced at a reveal party in Sydney,
Australia, on 4 December.
