The Duke Boutique Hotel
Victoria, Malta · ★ 4.9 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.8
Rooftop hot tub, the Citadel lit up at night, and a 9.8 rating. The Duke in Victoria delivers.
Sink into the hot tub as the Citadel's floodlit walls turn the night sky behind them a deep cobalt blue. That's the view from the terrace rooms at The Duke Boutique Hotel in Victoria, Gozo, and it's the kind of thing you'll still be thinking about on the ferry home. If you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room hot tub in Victoria, The Duke offers more configurations than almost anywhere on the island, from terrace rooms with an outdoor hot tub facing the old city roofline to Citadel-view suites with a hammam or sauna added in.
The photos show two things clearly: a proper outdoor hot tub on a sun-terrace with loungers alongside, and a sleek plunge pool on what appears to be a higher rooftop with that fortress view dead ahead. Some rooms list a jetted tub with city views rather than a terrace, so it's worth checking exactly which category you're booking. Guests rate the place 9.8 out of 10, which, for a small boutique hotel, is genuinely rare.

Questions, answered
Is the hot tub outdoors or inside the room?+
It depends on the room type. Terrace rooms have an outdoor hot tub on a private terrace; other rooms list a jetted tub with city views, which is more likely bathroom-based. Check the specific category when booking.
Can you actually see the Citadel from the hot tub?+
The photos show a clear night-time view of the illuminated Citadel from what appears to be an upper rooftop plunge pool, and the daytime terrace rooms look out over Victoria's rooftops toward the old city, so the Citadel-view room names do seem to earn their title.
Is the in-room tub actually private, or shared with other guests?+
Every suite we list here has its own private tub inside the room or on a private terrace, so you're never sharing with strangers or booking a time slot.
What's The Duke Boutique Hotel like, and is it the right fit?+
It's a boutique property with genuine character, pitched at couples or solo travellers who want something more personal than a chain hotel. At around €89 a night it sits at the accessible end of the tub-suite market without feeling budget.
