Casa Ellul - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
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.
♨️ One of 12 suites with a private tub we've checked in Valletta.
★ When booking, choose the room type that names a jacuzzi / hot tub / plunge pool. That's the one with the private in-room water feature.

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 area of Valletta gives the best views from an in-room tub?+
Properties closest to the city's southern bastions tend to overlook the Grand Harbour or the Three Cities, so if the view matters as much as the water, prioritise those over hotels on the quieter northern streets.
What's the price range for a private-tub suite in Valletta?+
The properties we list run from around €88 to €492 a night, so there's a genuine spread. Shoulder season (November to February, outside the Christmas week) tends to bring rates noticeably closer to that lower end.
