The Vincent Boutique Hotel, BW Premier Collection

A step from St John's Co-Cathedral, The Vincent Boutique Hotel, BW Premier Collection, Valletta, Malta, brings 14 modern, sophisticated rooms to the historic centre of the capital. The refined, modern design makes a calm retreat in a UNESCO-listed island capital, with the whole compact walled city right on foot from the door. Maltese culture, harbors and coastline all lie within easy reach. The 14 rooms make an intimate, design-led base, and the cafes, museums, gardens and waterfront of Valletta all begin right at the door. Valletta packs its grid of honey-stone streets with ornate old churches and palaces built by the Knights of Malta, the gilded St John's Co-Cathedral guarding a famous Caravaggio masterpiece nearby, grand harbor views opening from the Upper Barrakka Gardens high over the Grand Harbour, and Mdina, the Silent City, a short drive on. Harbour boats cross the water to the historic Three Cities of Birgu, Senglea and Cospicua.
