Phoenicia Hotel Wine Collection

Transcription

1 Phoenicia Hotel Wine Collection The Phoenicia Hotel was built in 1939 by Lord and Lady Strickland and designed by Architect A.M.B Binnie. The aim of the project was to build Malta s premier luxury hotel just outside Valletta s Porta Reale. Since the Second World War broke out, the hotel was not officially opened but was taken over by the services and used by the RAF personnel during their days off. The left wing of the hotel by the Pegasus Brassiere was hit by bombs and was rebuilt soon after the war. The Phoenicia was officially opened in 1947 by Lady Margaret Strickland, His Grace Michael Gonzi Archbishop of Malta, Lord Francis Campell, then Sir Francis, Governor of Malta to provide cosmopolitan clientele with a standard of comfort and service equalling that of the highest grade hotels in any European capital. Malta s only traditional Grand Hotel is imposingly situated at the gateway of Valletta, the Historic city of the knights, home of chivalry and at one time pageantry of unrivalled magnificence. We have spent many hours carefully compiling something we think will appeal to all tastes, if your personal favourite is missing or you have something you would like us to taste, please do let us know.
