Each room is appointed with contemporary furnishings, striking a balance between sophistication and comfort. The urban style is enriched by a palette inspired by Malta’s vibrant colors, adding warmth and a sense of place. From the blue guestroom doors with bold bronze accents that mimic traditional Maltese homes, to the natural, earthy tones running throughout the hotel that symbolizes the colors of the country – Hyatt Centric Malta has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the local culture.
