Holiday Inn Express Arena
The Holiday Inn Express Arena is located in the heart of St. Julian's, one of Malta's most active and cosmopolitan districts, just a stone's throw from St. George's Bay. This open-air space is part of a modern urban development aimed at blending business, hospitality, and leisure facilities. The arena frequently serves as a venue for small-scale public events, cultural performances, and informal social gatherings. Its strategic position adjacent to the hotel and the Bay Street Shopping Complex provides visitors with immediate access to a wide range of amenities, including cinemas, bowling alleys, and diverse dining options. For children and teenagers, the arena gives a much-needed open area within the densely packed urban fabric of Paceville. The architecture is characterized by its functional, tiered seating design, often utilized by passersby for relaxation. During the evening, the area is well-illuminated, ensuring a safe and welcoming atmosphere for international tourists. Its proximity to the district's primary sandy beach makes it a convenient meeting point for a day of recreation in St. Julian's.
