Another win for Malta! Local architectural firm Edwin Mintoff Architects has been awarded the European Prix Versailles Special Prize for the design of the Cugo Gran Macina Grand Harbour in Senglea in the category of Exterior Hotel Design.

This prestigious prize is awarded in recognition of the most astounding projects around the world, awarding the winners for their “extraordinary architecture and design.” And this is no exception!

The Cugo Gran Macina Grand Harbour is part of the luxury Cugo Gran sub brand of the international IBB Hotel Collection, which has 13 hotels based in Germany, Spain, Poland and Malta.

As winners of the award, the Maltese firm will be representing Europe in the Exterior Hotel Design category to compete against the winners of the other five continents for the World Title! The firm was already awarded two other prizes for this same project: the Din l-Art Helwa prize for ‘The Rehabilitation and Re-Use of Buildings’ and the Malta Architect Award in ‘Hospitality, Tourism Accommodation and Leisure.’ They were also shortlisted for the Premju Galizia Urban Regeneration Award.
