WELCOME TO OUR family
A
round fifty years ago, my family and I started the Corinthia enterprise as a fine-dining restaurant on the Mediterranean island of Malta, our home. We have since evolved into a multinational family of luxury hotels. And yet, as we continue to extend our interests and scale new heights, we remain true to our roots as a family business. We are determined to provide personal, intuitive service. At the core of this determination is our devotion to craftsmanship. We are inspired by dedicated craftsmen such as the stonemason, master carpenter and maestro musician. Like them, we always do more than is strictly necessary. We keep going until we have transformed the mundane into the magical. Within our hotels, we craft an environment that makes our guests feel special the moment they arrive. We surround them with costly materials chosen for their quiet quality rather than glitzy glamour. We never compromise on the quality of our end product, whether it is a crisply ironed shirt or a genuinely warm welcome. In a world of mass-produced experiences, we offer the made-to-measure. True craftsmanship is always bespoke.

DIFFERENT DESTINATIONS, THE SAME SPIRIT
Wherever guests travel within the world of Corinthia, they will arrive at the same satisfying conclusion: we care. THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF CARE
At Corinthia we believe that craftsmanship applies to more than merely making beautiful places and objects‌ it also applies to the way we make guests feel at home. Our craft is care. CRAFTING THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
Our public areas and guestrooms are created by craftspeople to uncompromisingly high standards. At Corinthia London, for example, our designer personally visited an Italian quarry to select white Calacatta marble of the desired shade and veining. Throughout the Corinthia family, this emphasis on craftsmanship, rather than superficial ostentation, gives our hotels an ambiance of understated opulence. It helps that we are generous with space. Our rooms and suites are generally larger than the norm. CRAFTING THE HUMAN TOUCH
As caring people, we provide warm,

personal service. As craftspeople we believe in precision. An in-room dining bottle of champagne will arrive on time, chilled to precisely the correct temperature. Equally, we leave room for passion. The Concierge at a Corinthia hotel is more than a person who books tickets for restaurants and excursions. With insight and enthusiasm, he or she will take a personal interest in making sure guests make the most of their stay. CRAFTING CORINTHIA’S CUISINE
Our restaurants serve authentic, seasonal dishes with pure, natural flavours. To confirm the provenance and quality of their major ingredients, our chefs visit farms and fisheries and discuss their precise needs with producers. Wherever possible, we procure local produce from artisanal suppliers and we make sure that all our seafood is sustainably sourced. In many restaurants, the menu names each supplier, such as the local baker, country cheese-maker or regional smokery.

tripoli Tripoli remains a fascinating destination. Untouched by the modern world, with a vast concentration of history and cultures, the city is an oasis of mystery waiting to be discovered. Cocooned within the old walled city, the narrow whitewashed alleys are lined with bustling market stalls selling leather goods, intricate jewellery and handcrafted copper, brass and silverware. The ancient city is also crammed with elaborate mosques and dotted with traditional dwellings dating back to the Ottoman period. The main hammam is a classic example of a traditional Roman-Byzantine bathhouse, while the many tailors, jewellers, perfumeries, tanners and soap-makers still trading in the tiny souks produce their wares in surroundings that have changed little in 500 years. It is the breadth of Tripoli’s historical monuments that make this a unique destination. These include the ancient Roman sites of Sabratha and Leptis Magna, the wonders of the desert, the Green Mountain and Ghadames, ‘the pearl of the desert’, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

MALTA Dazzling beaches, a warm climate, good food and beautiful scenery make Malta an immensely desirable holiday destination. The island’s rich heritage, created by many civilisations, significantly adds to its appeal. Across Malta and its sister island of Gozo, the people have a welcoming, friendly spirit, perhaps due to the country’s varied and vibrant history. The Sicilians, Phoenicians, Romans, Knights of St John, Carthaginians, Arabs, French and British have all left their mark, bringing a diverse sense of belonging to the hospitable locals. Away from the pristine beaches, Malta has much to offer. The charismatic capital, Valletta, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Medieval walled city of Mdina – known as the silent city – leaves an eerie impression on all visitors. Malta’s present is as beguiling as its past. Regular ‘festas’ add colour and excitement, and the many tourist attractions range from casinos and cruises to diving, drama and dance. The crystal-clear waters and Mediterranean sun are central to Malta’s enduring appeal.
Destination highlights – Visit Valletta, Malta’s capital city and a UNESCO World Heritage site – Top up your tan while swimming in the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean – Dance the night away at Malta’s top nightspots in Paceville – Learn about Malta’s impressive 7,000-year history with a hop-onhop-off sightseeing tour
Getting there By air: Easily accessible from Europe and North Africa with flights arriving into Malta International Airport. By sea: By cruise ship calling in at the Valletta Waterfront in the Grand Harbour, and daily ferries to and from Catania and Pozzallo in Sicily.
When to go/Weather While summer is a great time to visit, especially for sun worshippers, all seasons are mild, making Malta an ideal destination year-round. The average temperature in summer is 28°C / 82°F, while temperatures in winter average 13°C / 55°F.

khartoum The exotic capital of Sudan stands at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile Rivers, amidst a tropical terrain of rain forests, mountains, waterfalls and deserts. Khartoum has intrigued explorers since the days of Dr Livingstone. Today, the bustling city is the gateway to Central Africa and a convenient tourist base. Nile cruises, mountaineering, scuba-diving, nomadic excursions and camel-riding are all possible and the mysteries of Egypt, Cairo and the Sahara are tantalisingly close. In the city itself, there are ancient mosques and churches, botanical gardens, a fascinating camel market and a rambling souk spread over several squares. Ebony carvings, necklaces, bracelets, beads, gold and silver jewellery, clay pots, baskets and speciality food and spices are all on display. Haggling is essential. The Palace Museum, next to the Presidential Palace on Blue Nile Street, has a remarkable collection of antique luxury cars used by Sudanese and British dignitaries, including Queen Elizabeth II during her 1965 visit to the city.
