The newly redeveloped AX ODYCY Hotel announces its success at the prestigious European Property Awards, winning four awards for Malta: Leisure Development, Commercial Redevelopment, Masterplan, and Hotel Architecture.

AX ODYCY is a premium four-star destination in Qawra, Malta, offering a range of dining, leisure, and family-friendly facilities.

Having transformed from its days as the renowned Suncrest Hotel, the hotel’s design takes inspiration from airports and cruise liners— “dynamic spaces that welcome vast crowds of travellers,” said AX Group in a statement.

This “sense of adventure” is mirrored throughout the hotel, with distinct locations and establishments thoughtfully integrated into its common areas, offering a diverse choice of dining options.

As part of the AX Hotels portfolio, the hotel “blends modern architecture with innovative guest experiences, making it one of Malta’s most distinguished hospitality brands.”

With food and beverage outlets such as the adults-only Minoa Mediterranean Fusion restaurant, Medusa Sky Bar and Trattoria Riccardo, among others, AX ODYCY offers something for every visitor.

These achievements come as AX ODYCY has completed its first year and a half of operation following this redevelopment.

With Directors Claire Zammit Xuereb leading the concept and creation, and Denise Xuereb driving development and construction, it’s no surprise that AX ODYCY has evolved into an award-winning success.

The awards were presented during a ceremony held on 17th October at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square.

“It’s such a proud moment for us,” said Ms Xuereb. “These awards aren’t just a win for the hotel, but for the whole team that believed in creating something truly unique. AX ODYCY’s design and development are all about exceeding expectations, and it’s truly rewarding to have this recognised on an international level,” she added.

“It’s all about creating spaces where our guests from all over the world can have unforgettable experiences. These awards highlight that our vision was spot-on and fill a gap in the market beautifully. The future of ODYCY is incredibly exciting,” said Ms Zammit Xuereb, Director of Hospitality.
