4-Star Hotels in Sliema: Comfort on the Maltese Waterfront
Sliema is Malta's most cosmopolitan seaside town, stretching along a limestone promenade that faces Valletta across Marsamxett Harbour. Its 4-star hotel scene reflects that urban, polished character: you will find internationally branded properties such as the Courtyard by Marriott Sliema alongside independently run boutique hotels like Land's End Boutique Hotel and Palazzo Violetta, all officially classified at the 4-star level by the Malta Tourism Authority. Rates in this category start from around 65 euros per night and reach roughly 141 euros at the top end, giving travellers a meaningful range of price points without sacrificing the comfort standards that the classification guarantees.
Beyond Sliema's own boundaries, a handful of 4-star properties sit within easy reach: Hotel Juliani in St Julian's (approximately 1.5 km away) and Verdi Gzira Promenade in Gżira (around 0.6 km away) are both realistic alternatives for visitors who want the same walking-distance access to Sliema's waterfront, ferry terminal and dining strip. Whether you are drawn by the heritage charm of a converted Maltese townhouse or by the amenities of a full-service hotel with a rooftop pool, the 4-star tier in and around Sliema covers both.

Are there well-rated 4-star hotels just outside Sliema worth considering?+
Yes. Hotel Juliani in St Julian's, about 1.5 km from Sliema, and Verdi Gzira Promenade in Gżira, roughly 0.6 km away, are both officially 4-star rated and carry guest scores of 4.7 or 4.8 out of 5. Both towns border Sliema and are easily reachable on foot or by a short bus ride, so they are practical alternatives with a similar standard of comfort.
Why are some hotels listed here rated 3.5 stars rather than 4 stars?+
Marea Central Apartments and Ta' Tereza In Manwel Dimech carry an official 3.5-star classification, which places them just below the strict 4-star threshold. They are included for context because their guest ratings and price points place them in a similar consideration bracket for many travellers, but if an official 4-star classification is a firm requirement, the properties listed above under the full 4-star designation are the ones to focus on.
