The Phoenicia Malta welcomes Enya Cassar who joins the Sales and Marketing Department as Events Executive. Enya’s focus will be developing and operating the hotel’s Weddings business, whilst also supporting the rest of the Events Team.

A graduate of BA (Hons) Tourism Studies from the University of Malta, Enya gained solid experience in tourism whilst working for both the national airline as well as the Malta Tourism Authority.

Enya explains that her love for the Weddings Sector has been instilled in her by her family, namely her father. ‘My father is a weddings videographer so he would often take me to weddings and wedding fairs, including here at The Phoenicia Malta. I like the industry so much that in fact my dissertation examined Destination Weddings and the local market,’ she shares.

Commenting on the new appointment, General Manager Robyn Pratt says, ‘The Phoenicia Malta is a part of thousands upon thousands of wedding couple’s memories over our 75-year history.  In our journey to be constantly considering new ways to improve our guest experience we look forward to having Enya on board to lead our forward focussed strategy on this important part of our business.’

The Phoenicia Malta is renowned for its collaborations with both local and international artists. In fact, June sees not one, but three Artists in Residence within the hotel, featuring paintings as well as sculptures.

For The Phoenicia Malta’s 75th Anniversary, yet another artist’s work can be admired on the property. Located at Bastion Pool Bar & Restaurant, multimedia artist Selina Scerri developed an installation called ‘Shades of White.’ The installation is made of delicate layers of translucent white fabric designed to flow and dance with the wind. The movement produces mesmerizing patterns of light and shadow. The different-cut fringes impart a lively organic quality to the installation.

Throughout her career Selina has explored subjects such as Artificial Intelligence, Domesticity, Pornography, Tattoos and Magic. Her professional career started in London in 2002 when she enrolled at Central Saint Martin’s College studying Fine Arts. In 2022, she obtained a Masters in Illustration from Falmouth University. She has exhibited with galleries in the UK, Italy, Malta, and Spain. She is currently the Artistic Director of CSAI, the new Creative Science and Arts institute.

Come and enjoy a delightful meal by one of Malta’s most breath-taking pool areas, whilst admiring Selina’s enthralling installation.

The Phoenicia Malta is delighted to welcome Stephanie Gambin as its new Sales Manager.

A graduate of the University of Malta (B.A. Tourism Studies) and the University of Surrey (MSc International Tourism Management), Stephanie joins the team after gaining strong sales experience within the local hotel industry.

Stephanie’s passion for hospitality is evident, having discovered her love for the travel industry from a young age. ‘It’s exciting. You’re doing different things, you’re always on the go, and you’re constantly meeting new people. It’s great!’

Looking back at the past two years, Stephanie adds, ‘The effects of Covid-19 were devastating on the industry, however sitting in the hotel’s busy Palm Court Lounge, it’s wonderful to see how things have picked up once again. I look forward to bringing even more business to the iconic Phoenicia Malta.’

Commenting on the new appointment, General manager Robyn Pratt says, ‘Every department is important in a hotel, however having a solid sales team is fundamental to the success of any company. We are thrilled to welcome Stephanie to the Phoenicia family and to reaching new heights, together.’
