At the heart of the hotel’s social life is G’uniqo, the rooftop à la carte restaurant and bar. Expect a relaxed Mediterranean feel with far-reaching views as you dine on a mix of international, British, Italian and Maltese dishes across breakfast, lunch and dinner. There’s a children’s menu and highchairs available, making it easy to eat together as a family.

The adjoining rooftop bar keeps things casual with drinks and light bites throughout the day and into the evening – ideal for pre-dinner aperitifs or a nightcap after exploring Sliema’s waterfront.

A smart-casual dress code applies (no beachwear), and reservations or supplements may be required depending on your board arrangement. Services and opening hours can vary by season.

Head up to the roof terrace for the hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool, framed by sunbeds and parasols and perfectly placed for city and harbour views. It’s a laid-back space for cooling off between sightseeing or lingering with a drink from the rooftop bar. Pool towels are provided so you can travel lighter.

Downstairs at the spa centre you’ll find a heated indoor pool, great for a relaxing swim outside of the main summer months or if you prefer a more tranquil atmosphere.

While Courtyard by Marriott Sliema doesn’t have its own private beach, you’re just around 400m from Sliema’s seafront bathing areas and lidos, where you can access the clear Mediterranean waters from rocky platforms or nearby beach clubs (local charges may apply).

The spa includes a sauna and steam room, along with a menu of massage and beauty treatments, plus an on-site hairdresser – ideal before a night out in Sliema or Valletta (treatments and salon services incur extra charges; minimum ages apply).

The air-conditioned gym offers cardio machines, free weights and a stretching zone, with a minimum age of 18 for access.

Practical touches make longer stays easy: there’s a 24-hour reception and concierge service with currency exchange and luggage storage, plus an on-site mini‑market for drinks, snacks and essentials.
