The db San Antonio Hotel and Spa in Qawra, Malta, has opened following a €32m (US$34m, £23m) refurbishment and extension.

The hotel, owned by the Seabank Group, now forms part of the db hotels and resorts chain – which also includes the db Seabank Resort & Spa in Ghadira Bay, Malta.

The extension and refurbishment, which took six months, means the hotel now offers 515 bedrooms across 10 floors, five restaurants, a fitness centre, four pools and a spa.

The spa, known as Le Marquis Spa, is a Moroccan-style spa with five treatment rooms, a heated indoor pool, hammam, whirlpool, sauna, steambath and relaxation area.

Silvio Debono, Seabank Group chair told The Times of Malta that the group had invested €72m (US$76m, £51m) in the db Seabank and the db San Antonio over the past three years.

“We have ambitious plans for our new hotel chain and we are looking at both the local and foreign markets,” said Debono.
