Deputy Prime Minister And Minister For Foreign Affairs And Tourism Ian Borg Inaugurated Howard House In Rabat

Howard House, a 160-year-old townhouse and former post office in Rabat restored and reimaged as a boutique-style luxury bed and breakfast.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism Ian Borg inaugurated Howard House in Rabat.

On Tuesday evening, the newly-opened establishment was visited by Prime Minister Ian Borg, where he met with some of its first guests.

“Howard house is an example of how private investment can feasibly align with national priorities – preserving our architectural heritage while enriching our tourism offering. This project safeguards a piece of Rabat’s identity, while elevating Malta’s appeal to the discerning traveller. We are omitted to supporting such endeavours that celebrate our past while building a sustainable, high-quality future for Maltese tourism” Prime Minster said.

The townhouse was once the central post office of Rabat which had the original family owners living on the upper floor of the building.

The present property owner Mariella Scerri during the Deputy Prime Minister’s visit said, “This is not just about accommodation. Howard House represents a commitment to preserving Malta’s architectural identity – a labour of love to give back to the island I deeply care for.”
