Three new Sliema hotels A cluster of new hotel applications in Qui-Si-Sana, The Strand and opposite the Chalet raise fresh questions about mounting tourism pressure in Sliema. James Debono reports. A brand-new 139-room hotel built over 16 levels is being pro- posed along the seafront at Qui- Si-Sana in Sliema. The development would re- place a contemporary 10-storey building with no conservation value, but would effectively cre- ate a pencil development be- cause of its additional height. The new hotel is being pro- posed by Carlo Stivala, who is behind a number of hotel devel- opments in the area, including two new 15-storey hotels along The Strand. Plans for the Qui-Si-Sana de- velopment propose the internal demolition of the existing first seven floors, with full demoli- tion and reconstruction from the seventh level upwards. Building heights along the Qui-Si-Sana frontage are gener- ally limited to around 35 metres, equivalent to roughly 10 levels. However, hotels in Sliema are allowed one additional floor under the local plan, and up to two further floors under policies regulating hotel heights. The latter policy is currently under reconsideration following the presentation of proposals put forward by Deputy Prime Minister Ian Borg at the end of last year. But the Qui-Si-Sana develop- ment is only the latest in a se- ries of new hotel applications presented over the past weeks in Sliema.
