Lights, Camera, Romègas Hotel - The Entrance Lounge 🥂🐒✨
In 2021 the CPM Projects Studio set out to create a true boutique hotel — one where every room carries its own design language, and where elevated comfort meets the quiet soul of old Valletta. Tucked along Old Bakery Street, the building was once the residential quarters of Mathurin Romegas, an esteemed naval commander of the Knights of the Order of St John.
The entrance lounge unfolds as a series of intimate zones: the bar, seating pockets, and old courtyards are transformed into calm communal spaces for a drink, a conversation, or a quick work catchup. The interiors showcase custom mahogany ceilings, partitions with fluted glass, terrazzo cornices and contemporary palladiana floors, muted green walls and carefully restored stonework. The mood is a balance of heritage and modern craft, with reference to the aesthetic of mid-century cosmopolitan Europe.
The bar’s focal point in the custom-designed “light tree” canopy, rising behind the solid slatted counter. Lighting by Davide Groppi and Tooy is paired with seating by Vincent Sheppard. Across the hotel, curated works by contemporary Maltese artists anchor the interiors in place and culture.
