Walking on Glorious Gozo – Short Break

Nestled within the Duke Complex, the 38-room Duke Boutique Hotel is an ideal base from which to explore the entire island of Gozo. Centrally positioned in Victoria, the capital of Gozo, the hotel boasts magnificent views of the Citadel and Villa Rudle Gardens. Located on Victoria’s main thoroughfare, lined with a variety of shops, banks, theatres, restaurants and markets. The main bus terminal and several bus stops are just a stone’s throw away, ensuring easy and efficient travel across the island by bus. This central location not only offers convenience but also immerses you in the vibrant heart of Gozo.

Originally established in the mid-1880s when a Maltese entrepreneur transformed a significant residential building into a high-quality hotel. The hotel was later acquired by a pro-British Gozitan businessman who renamed it the ‘Duke of Edinburgh Hotel”. A notable event in its history was the visit by Queen Elizabeth II in 1951. Although the original building was demolished, in 2017 the Duke Boutique Hotel opened under the management of Jason and Sharon Galea.

Since 2018, the hotel has been Eco Certified, adhering to the stringent standards of the Malta Tourism Authority. This was achieved through improvements such as the installation of a rooms management system (REMS) with sensors to switch off air conditioning units and lights when no one is present in the room and the implementation of a food waste policy that includes education, food waste prevention, reduction, recycling, and disposal. The Duke Boutique Hotel is also actively engaged in the local community, supporting various foundations and providing educational training and career exposure opportunities for school children.

The buffet breakfast is a selection of freshly prepared hot and cold options served in the breakfast room, lounge and weather permitting on the 4th floor of the hotel with stunning views all around. Other services include a variety of In-Room Treatments so you can relax and be pampered in the comfort of your own room.
