Sylvana Farrugia

Q: Favourite spot in Malta to unwind?
A: Valletta, so elegant and culturally rich yet with a fascinating bohemian edge. I love sitting with a coffee and watching the world go by, to dining at amazing restaurants, admiring its rich architecture, or just watching ships in the majestic Grand Harbour.

Q: What’s your favourite thing about your job?
A: Definitely the successful outcome of perfectly curated events and meetings, the coming together of various departments to achieve miracles on tight deadlines and go beyond the expectations of our guests.

Q: Best career advice you’ve received?
A: “Do not sell the rooms: Sell the experience”. In a world driven by numbers, true success lies in creating meaningful moments — the kind of warmth and elegance that define Corinthia Hotels worldwide.

Q: What’s something we wouldn’t know about you from your CV?
A: My love for cats! Always had a soft spot for their calm curiosity and independent spirit. Cats have taught me the value of focus and calm perseverance, qualities that often help me approach challenges, always with patience and a positive mindset.
