Casa Ellul - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
Valletta, Valletta, Malta · ★ 4.6 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.2
A cedar hot tub on a private terrace, with a Baroque church dome close enough to touch and Valletta's rooftops glowing below.
Slip into the water after dark and the city arranges itself around you. The wooden hot tub sits on a private terrace at Casa Ellul, a converted townhouse right in the heart of Valletta, and the view is genuinely arresting: a Baroque dome strung with lights to one side, a church spire across the rooftops, the Maltese flag catching whatever breeze is going. It's the kind of thing you'd describe badly to friends at home.
If you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room hot tub in Valletta, this is the one most people mean. The tub itself is a slatted cedar barrel model, compact but deep, reached by a short wooden ladder. The terrace has seating, lanterns, and enough room to feel like your own corner of the city rather than a fire escape. Available across the Duplex Suite with Terrace and Hot Tub, the Two-Bedroom Townhouse, and the Executive Suite. Rated 9.2 out of 10 by guests, which, for a city-centre property, is hard to argue with.

Questions, answered
Where exactly is the hot tub, and is it genuinely private?+
The hot tub sits on a private outdoor terrace attached to your suite, not a shared rooftop, so it's yours for the duration of your stay.
What's the view like from the hot tub terrace at night?+
The photos show a Baroque church dome lit up directly beside the terrace, with a church spire and Valletta's rooftops visible beyond the glass balustrade. It's very much the point of being up there.
Which part of Valletta gives you the best views from an in-room tub?+
Properties on the upper floors of the city's eastern ridge, near St Barbara's Bastion and the Grand Harbour waterfront, tend to offer the most dramatic light, especially at dusk when the water turns copper. If a harbour outlook matters to you, check the room descriptions carefully rather than assuming any upper-floor suite will deliver it.
Are the tubs genuinely private, or shared with other guests?+
Every property we list has the water feature inside the private suite, so there's no rota, no poolside etiquette, and no other guests. That's the whole point of this directory.
