THE DESIGN HOTEL IN SENGLEA
Cugó Gran Macina Grand Harbour
The Cugó Gran Macina Grand Harbour is truly a Hotel with a difference. Historical fortress walls contrast with modern interior design and bespoke luxury fittings. The 21 suites range from 40 square metres to an impressive 130 square metres. Most have unobstructed views of the Grand Harbour and the surrounding marina, high vaulted ceilings and ample natural light. The Hotel offers a swimming pool, tucked discreetly on the rooftop of the annex building with a terrace looking out across the water to Vittoriosa and Cospicua. Other features include airy communal spaces, a fully fledged bar, a fine dining modern Mediterranean restaurant, an events rooftop with panoramic harbour views and a boardroom for small conferences.
History meets luxury
the Design Hotel in Senglea – Malta
Unimaginable history seeps from the Macina's ancient walls. Built almost half a millennium ago by the Knights of St. John the Macina has been a landmark for centuries.

Architecture & Design
For Cugó Gran Macina Grand Harbour’s full transformation from an historical landmark structure to an international retreat, architect Edwin Mintoff perfectly married expansive views with discreet privacy. The hotel’s large communal spaces and high vaulted ceilings allow for ample natural light to play off the property’s minimalistic, inviting design. For a symbiotic mix of Old World and New, the design gurus at Daaa Haus transformed the hotel’s historical aspect through an abundant and creative use of unique lighting, tufted wool rugs, Scandinavian pieces, and bespoke Italian sofas and beds. The elegant design also utilizes a wealth of rich materials, such as lacquered raw steel, lava stone, limed oak, Carrara marble, slate, Maltese hard stone, and custom tinted glass.
