The pool
On the 9th-floor rooftop terrace sits an outdoor infinity pool with 360-degree views of Sliema and Valletta. A rooftop pool bar is beside it. The hotel is adults only and has an indoor pool too.
Our take
The Palace is a 5-star sibling of AX The Victoria, and both are adults-only with a May to October summer season. The Palace sits one floor higher, at the 9th floor against the Victoria's 8th, and puts a bar right at the pool edge.
The downside is the unknown. The hotel doesn't publish whether outsiders can swim, and its season is stated as May to October, though it says it's open beyond summer. Ask about your dates.
Good to know
- Infinity pool high up on the 9th floor, 360-degree views
- Rooftop pool bar beside the water
- Free pool towels from attendants
The catches
- Day pass and non-guest access aren't published

Getting in
Beyond its own guests, who can swim isn't published, and no day pass is listed. Staying is the safe route in.
It's an adults-only hotel, so there are no child swim hours to plan around.
Tips
- Ask for pool towels from the attendants, because bathroom towels may not be used at the pool.
- Book May to October if you want the pool in its stated summer season.
Before you go. Ask whether the outdoor pool runs outside May to October. The hotel says it's open beyond summer but gives no dates.
