The Victoria Hotel’s annual trade party this year coincided with the launch of the newly refurbished 200 year old Palazzo Capua in Sliema.

This special event was further enhanced as the celebration was built around a mediaeval theme where guests were entertained by the ghosts of the Palazzo. These two mediaeval characters formed part of a spectacular audiovisual show which included visual projections and light effects recounting the history of this magnificent building, organised by Synergix Events and AV Warehouse.

The many distinguished guests who were present included Tourism Minister Francis Zammit Dimech, AX Holdings chairman Angelo Xuereb and Mrs Xuereb and representatives from the tourism sector.

Later in the evening, the guests were hosted by the hotel’s general manager Claire Xuereb to a banquet in the candle-lit atmosphere of the grand hall to the magical sound of harp music. To mark this particular occasion, a special numbered memento, commemorating the opening of Palazzo Capua, was presented to all the guests.
