Autoban’s interior concept translates the sculptural flow of the architecture into a tactile, immersive design language. A palette of sea-washed blues, sun-faded neutrals and warm brass evokes the surrounding coastline, while bespoke furnishings echo the building’s dynamic geometries. The hotel’s double-height lobby, inspired by the natural grottoes of Malta, sets the tone with a dramatic interplay of light, scale, and material, anchored by turquoise columns, scalloped wood details, and a sweeping, weightless staircase.

Public spaces unfold as sculptural landscapes, balancing intimacy and vibrancy. From the breezy elegance of the Cabana Club Malta on the 8th floor to the deep-toned sophistication of the Radio Rooftop Bar, each venue is a destination in itself, curated for social connection, cultural exchange, and effortless movement between day and night. Dining spaces like Luciano by Gino D’Acampo extend the narrative with textural warmth and a refined informality rooted in place.

In the guest rooms and suites, Autoban continues this story through sculptural forms, layered materials, and intuitive comfort. Bespoke furnishings, modular wardrobes and expressive headboards offer a sense of sanctuary that is both luxurious and personal. Every element, from patterned rugs to brass accents, has been selected to reflect the island’s mood and the ME brand’s distinctive spirit.

Throughout ME Malta, Autoban’s design creates a unified yet multi-sensory experience. A balance of boldness and serenity, modernity and rootedness, defines this contemporary hotel—a new landmark for Malta and an elevated, immersive take on Mediterranean living.
