Part of the distinguished Relais & Chateaux collection, The Xara Palace is an upscale boutique hotel housed in a gorgeous palazzo dating from the 17th century. It's also one of just a few hotels with the privilege of being located within the medieval walls of Mdina, with parts of it set into the ancient city ramparts. No two of the 17 rooms are identical, and they're not quite as beautifully decorated as one might expect, though many feature wonderful views over the island. One of the two restaurants on-site also provides superb panoramas and excellent dining is offered in both restaurants. Overall, it's certainly a distinguished hotel in a privileged position, though for palatial luxury with spa facilities and a large pool, try the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa.
