Mercury in St Julians: Where Hospitality and Culinary Excellence Converge

St Julian’s is renowned for its vibrant nightlife, and more recently emerging as Malta’s budding contemporary culinary scene. Amidst the eclectic foodie scene, stands our newest local spot for all things food and retail, Mercury, designed by the late Zaha Hadid.

This architectural marvel not only represents the futuristic flair of Hadid herself, but also seeks to establish itself as a cultural hub through a series of art and design-led initiatives, featuring a diverse culture & entertainment program.

CONTEMPORARY LIFESTYLE FOR ALL:
Mercury embodies the spirit of hospitality, innovation, and attention to detail. Seated on the Maltese skyline, Mercury hosts a balance of local and worldwide lifestyle concepts, from fashion retail and entertainment to F&B and hospitality, with a wider portfolio to come.

Once fully-operational, Mercury will be home to 17 F&B establishments, and 80+ retail brands. Together with local artisanal operators alongside internationallyacclaimed franchises this innovative portfolio will help to cement Malta’s position as a world-class destination. This innovative lifestyle hub has become a centre for entrepreneurs seeking to turn their visions into reality. The collaborative yet intimate atmosphere within Mercury fosters creativity, conversation, and identity, making it an ideal breeding ground for passionate operators with a forward-thinking mindset.

The strategic location of Mercury makes it an attractive destination on all counts. The proximity to one of the island’s main commercial districts and buzzing nightlife provides a dynamic environment for all; from families, to creatives, tourists, and locals. Paceville is in itself undergoing a renaissance, with its roads and spaces quickly transforming into a safe and inclusive pedestrian cosmopolitan destination.

ENTERTAINMENT EXTRAVAGANZA:
Mercury is set to once-again reinstate Paceville as Malta’s leading entertainment hot-spot that feature a number of world-class attractions. When fully operational by April 2024, Mercury will boast a fully immersive visitor attraction which will take visitors on a journey through space and time. Experience Maltese history like never before through a walk-through museum on Malta’s most momentous epochs in time, and end it with an immersive flying theatre simulation running you through Maltese history.

For those seeking live performances, daily cultural entertainment is featured in the piazza, together with a vivacious entertainment arena which is set to feature a state-of-the-art indoor electric go-kart racing track, iceskating rink, ropes course, mind-blowing VR experience, romp-around adventure, dedicated party rooms plus a diner bar and restaurant. The entire entertainment hub will reportedly cover a whopping 1,200 square metres and will reportedly feature double height volume and LED lighting scheme.

CULINARY EXCELLENCE:
One of the most distinctive aspects of Mercury is its commitment to culinary excellence. The towers house a wide array of dining establishments that cater to every palate and fancy. Whether you’re in the mood for traditional cuisine, artisanal bites, or international flavours, you’ll find it all between the piazza and the tower.

Big ticket culinary experiences are set to come alive in Mercury, namely such as Radio Rooftop Bar, Cabana Club Malta, and Luciano all of which are operated by the exceptional celebrity Chef and Italian entrepreneur Gino D’Acampo.

Italó, Illy, Lowes Lounge and Peperino take over all casual dining needs with a keen focus on quality and customer service and all are operational, and will be among the 17 F&B establishments once fully operational.

FULL-HOTEL IMMERSION:
At the heart of the culinary experience within Mercury is the ME Malta Hotel - the first curated luxury lifestyle hotel of its kind to hit the islands. With its distinctive approach to contemporary art and design, and its commitment to a truly bespoke customer experience, it offers exclusive dining experiences by Gino D’Acampo himself. Included in the hotel offering are Radio Rooftop Bar, as enjoyed in other key destinations such as Madrid, Milan, London and others, Luciano by Gino D’Acampo and Cabana Club Malta - a new concept where guests can indulge in a world-class dining experience without leaving the premises.
