The Barrister
Valletta, Malta · ★ 4.9 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.8
A rooftop hot tub above Valletta's honey-stone skyline, with a church dome close enough to feel theatrical.
Sink into the hot tub on your private rooftop terrace at The Barrister and the view does something rather lovely: a baroque church dome fills the middle distance, the warm limestone of Valletta's rooftops fans out below it, and the sky above is the particular deep blue that Malta saves for clear evenings. It's the kind of moment that makes you stay in the water longer than you planned.
The tub itself sits in a walnut-clad surround with two wooden steps up, and the terrace has a small table and chairs for when you eventually climb out. If you're looking for a hotel with a private hot tub in Valletta, this is a genuinely rare find in such a compact, historic city. Guests rate it 9.8 out of 10, which, for a rooftop this good, is entirely believable.

Questions, answered
Where exactly is the hot tub, and is it truly private?+
The hot tub sits on your own rooftop terrace, accessed from the Deluxe Double Room with Roof Top Terrace and Hot Tub. It's not shared with other guests.
What can you actually see from the hot tub?+
The photos show a clear view of a baroque church dome and Valletta's honey-stone rooftops, with open sky above. It's an urban rooftop, so neighbouring buildings are part of the picture, but the skyline is the real draw.
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.
