    The Craftsmanship of Care

    Alfred pisAniFounder & chairmancorinthia hotels

    Around 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.

    Welcome toour family

    Different Destinations, the same spirit

    corinthia.com

    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 corinthias 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.

    with hot and dry summers and relatively wet and mild winters, the best time to visit is spring and autumn.

    the average temperature in spring and autumn is between 20-25c/68-77F.

    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. Th e ancient city is also crammed with elaborate mosques and dotted with traditional dwellings dating back to the Ottoman period. Th e 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 Tripolis historical monuments that make this a unique destination. Th ese 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 islands 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 countrys 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. Maltas 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 Maltas enduring appeal.
