THE CONCEPT
The Iniala Story

Iniala Harbour House is part of Iniala Group — a cluster of companies that spans hospitality, development and philanthropy. Founder and visionary Mark Weingard has created the world of Iniala, imbued with a distinct sense of style, quality, and extraordinary service. Adventurous gastronomy, sought-after art pieces, state of the art rooms, all blend to provide our signature Iniala experience, collectively bound by a desire to always give back to society. By incorporating an exceptional standard of each of these elements, Iniala Harbour House has brought an unprecedented level of luxury and experiential travel to the island.
ART
Showcasing local talent
With his love for art, and the importance he gave to involving and supporting the local community along his journey, it was always the vision of founder, Mark Weingard, to use the walls and spaces of Iniala Harbour House to showcase local talent in every suitable way. His vision and the Iniala art collection truly came to life during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the hotel made an open call to the local art community with the intention to provide work and support during such desperate times.
The result is a beautifully curated space, adorned with a variety of pieces from renowned and up-and-coming Maltese and Gozitan artists, that flow seamlessly throughout the buildings, adding distinct character to each room. With Darren Tanti’s interpretation of the famous frescoes found on the magnificent ceiling of St. John’s Cathedral, to Victor Agius’ mixed-media paintings inspired by the Gozitan landscape, and eclectic installations like Aaron Bezzina’s bronze cast prickly-pear leaves – Iniala is as much a gallery of fine art as it is a world-class hotel.
