The popular TV show ‘4 Hotel’, hosted by Bruno Barbieri is now officially streaming the episode they filmed in Malta for their show on Sky Go and on NOW.

‘4 Hotel’, one of Sky’s most successful television shows, flew host and chef Bruno Barbieri to the Maltese Islands to shoot an episode on Malta’s quality hospitality.

Two episodes from the show have been dedicated to foreign destinations, with Malta being one of them.

4 hotels

During Malta’s special episode, Bruno Barbieri’s ‘4 Hotels’ selected four of the best boutique hotels across the island to compete against each other. These included the Iniala Hotel and 66 Saint Paul's in Valletta, the Cugó Gran Macina Grand Harbor in Senglea and the Xara Palace in Mdina.

These four hotels will help viewers understand the story of how the hotel industry evolved in Malta and how nowadays they are receiving a wider range of customers and guests.

The four competing Maltese hotels will each offer their hospitality which is expected to exceed the expectations of the typical Italian tourist while also maintaining their local authenticity!

In addition, the carefully selected establishments were made sure to be situated in strategic points of the island so each guest can easily have a holiday itinerary with the right balance of sea, culture and nature.

“We were pleased to welcome Chef Barbieri and the Sky TV production to Malta. As the Malta Tourism Authority, we are proud of the service excellence that the Maltese hospitality sector is seeking to deliver to tourists”, Carlo Micallef, Malta’s Tourism Authority, Chief executive Officer remarked.

“Such international television exposure that the MTA invites to our islands, like Bruno Barbieri’s ‘4 Hotel’, give important exposure to Malta and Gozo promoting the VisitMalta brand to audiences interested in overseas travel,” he continued.

“We had wanted to take ‘4 Hotel’ abroad for years. I was sure that we would meet extraordinary people; people capable of creating unprecedented forms of hospitality”, Chef Barbieri stated.

“I had already visited the islands in the past but returning now for our challenges among hoteliers has allowed us to discover other hidden sides of this country and wonderful traditions. I can't wait to be back!”, he added.

Tune in to NOW and Sky Go to see which one these hotels have received the title of ‘Best Hotel in Malta’!
