The Art Deco hotel was built in the 1930s, and was opened in November 1947. It is regarded as one of the top hotels in Malta.[1][2] The hotel had one of the earliest restaurants of good standards in Malta in the 1950s.[3] HistoryHotel Phoenicia is located just outside the capital city of Valletta, close to the Triton Fountain and City Gate. It was built upon a place-of-arms which was part of the outworks of the fortifications of Valletta.[4] Plans to build a luxury hotel outside Valletta began in 1935, and a year later, the Scottish architect William Binnie was commissioned to design the building.[4] Construction began soon after, and it was almost complete by 1939. With the outbreak of World War II, the finished parts of the hotel were requisitioned by the British military to be used by the Royal Air Force personnel.[5] On 27 April 1942, the hotel suffered extensive damage when it was hit by aerial bombardment. Reconstruction of the damaged parts began in 1944, and was fully complete in April 1948.[6] The hotel officially opened in November 1947. The opening ceremony was attended by Lady Margaret Strickland, Archbishop Mikiel Gonzi and Governor Francis Campbell.[5] Some of the official functions relating to Malta's independence in 1964 were held at the Phoenicia. The hotel was acquired by Charles Forte in 1966, and it was refurbished between 1968 and 1970.[6] Further modifications, including the construction of an additional floor, were made between 1990 and 1994.[7] On 8 November 1997, the hotel was rebranded as Le Méridien Phoenicia, following Forte's acquisition of Le Méridien.[7] It was put on sale in late 2006,[8] and was purchased by the Irish company Heuston Hospitality in 2007, who renamed the hotel back to Phoenicia Hotel Malta.[9] In June 2014 the hotel was purchased by Hazeldane Group.{{cn|date=March 2019}} The hotel was closed during a €15 million restoration and refurbishment.[10] The refurbishment was expected to be complete by March 2016,[11] but works were ready by 2018. At this point it was reopened. Throughout the years, the Phoenicia has hosted a number of distinguished guests, including Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Edwina Mountbatten,[12] Alec Guinness, Jeffrey Hunter, Gérard Depardieu, Oliver Reed, Derek Jacobi, Joaquin Phoenix and Arnold Schwarzenegger.[6] ArchitectureHotel Phoenicia is an example of Art Deco architecture,[13] it is built in Maltese limestone and has a number of elements typical of Maltese architecture. The building has a chevron shape, and its grounds contain extensive gardens.[6] The building is scheduled by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority.[14] {{clear}}Further reading
