Overview

 
Perched on Sliema’s seafront promenade, 1926 Le Soleil brings together contemporary Maltese style, big‑screen sea views and a smart city‑beach location. Expect a polished spa, a chic seasonal beach club, rooftop pool and bright, design‑led rooms looking towards Valletta’s honey‑coloured skyline – all with easy access to ferries, shopping streets and waterfront bars.

A sleek Sliema address with postcard‑worthy views across Marsamxett Harbour to Valletta, 1926 Le Soleil feels more stylish city‑pad than standard beach hotel. Dip between the rooftop pool, indulgent spa and the hotel’s own 1926 La Plage Beach Club just along the promenade (seasonal), then settle into modern, light‑filled rooms designed for laid‑back Mediterranean living. For couples or friends keen to pair Malta’s historic capital with relaxed sea views, 1926 Le Soleil hits a sweet spot. It’s around 30 minutes from Malta International Airport, close to Sliema’s ferry port for easy hops to Valletta and a short stroll from the hotel’s own beach club. See more Malta holidays.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Cool off between city exploring and harbour‑hopping at one of the hotel’s pools or by the sea.

At the 1926 La Plage Beach Club, about 260m from the hotel, you’ll find a stylish outdoor saltwater pool with a generous sun deck, sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols – all overlooking the Mediterranean. The club is typically open from May to October and is weather‑dependent.

Back at the hotel, the rooftop hosts a heated freshwater pool (adult‑only) with loungers and daybeds for relaxed sunbathing and wide‑angle sea views, creating a boutique roof‑terrace vibe. Inside the spa, there’s a heated indoor pool (also adult‑only), ideal for unwinding out of season. Pool towels are provided free of charge.

Facilities and opening dates can vary by season and weather; the beach club in particular may close on certain days if conditions are poor.
