The Malta-based db Group and Hard Rock International yesterday broke ground and laid the foundation stone for the Hard Rock Hotel Malta along with a mixed-use development including Ora Residences with two towers of exclusive apartments and a vast mall. The total investment in the project is €300 million and is set to create hundreds of different jobs.

The 5-star Hard Rock Hotel Malta will feature 394 rooms, most with balconies overlooking the Mediterranean, and 25 suites with a private pool.

Guests seeking to relax will enjoy numerous private and public pools, a full-service Rock Spa^®, and state-of-the-art Body Rock^® fitness center set to be amongst Malta's largest.

Conceived as vertical gardens, the Ora Residences will offer luxurious designs and a suite of exclusive and top-tier personalized services. Residents will have access to a wealth of high-end amenities, including private temperature-controlled wine cellars, private pools, housekeeping services, chauffeurs, 24/7 concierge services and more.

Another key element of the project will be St. George's Mall, covering over 20,000 sqm with a mix of top-tier and more accessible brands and family entertainment.

The project also features 12 different restaurants and bars including Hard Rock Cafe and EL&N, 5,000 sqm of green and public spaces, a 1,300 sqm supermarket, 1,300 parking spaces and a globally branded exclusive beach lido.
