Aura Hotel – C5 Architects

Located opposite Mercury Tower in Paceville, Malta, Aura Hotel is conceived as a complete interior and exterior renovation of a narrow urban hotel, linking the street facade, guest spaces and rooftop into one coherent hospitality identity.

A limestone-toned facade, repeated arches and planted balconies give the slender elevation a warm Mediterranean character. Inside, the reception combines stone, timber, dark fluted panels and continuous linear lighting, while the breakfast and bar area shifts to deep red, green tile and dark joinery.

Warm neutral guestrooms with integrated furniture lead to a landscaped rooftop with seating, an open-air gym and a jacuzzi.
