Casa Ellul goes largely unnoticed from the street.
However, upon entry, the
hotel’s opulence is impossible
to miss. The central rooms
lead onto the hotel courtyard,
and feature timber-beam
ceilings and diffused natural
light. There are three tiers
of regimented balconettes
and Maltese galleriji, which
overlie the street-level Valletta
shops and doorways. This
cleverly designed building’s
architecture provides a bit of
a trompe l’oeil, as it is actually several different buildings
which are part of a group,
but read as a singular palazzo,
thanks to a seamless façade.

ROMANTIC
CLASSICISM
architecture and décor
reign supreme, with
wrought ironwork,
carved mouldings,
subtle panelling, floral
motifs, and angelic
masks. Every detail
is ornate and masterful, a Neo-Classical
style, with a prevailing
Maltese feel. La pièce
de Résistance is the
breathtaking 360 degree panoramic view
that can be enjoyed
from the rooftop.

stands a statue of Heracles, the ancient Greek divine hero, sheltered
in a finely executed Ionic shrine. This muscular son of the Zeus is
portrayed wearily resting on his wooden club and lion skin which
he presented to King Eurystheus.
