On 27 March 2026, Gibraltar's Chief Minister Fabian Picardo officially inaugurated Victory Suites, the territory's newest and largest apart hotel. The ceremony on Devils Tower Road marked the completion of a development that has been years in the making, transforming a prominent site into 238 fully furnished serviced apartments across ten storeys. [GBC News covered the inauguration](https://www.gbc.gi/news/victory-suites-opened-at-devils-tower-road), reporting that the Chief Minister highlighted the project's significance for Gibraltar's hospitality sector. During the proceedings, Picardo acknowledged former Government minister Joe Holliday's commitment to the project during its planning stages. Holliday, who served as Deputy Chief Minister and Chairman of the Development and Planning Commission, played a role in supporting the development through the approval process. Guests at the inauguration received tours of sample suites, getting a first look at the finished interiors before the building opens to its first paying guests in April 2026.

The territory has long relied on a small number of traditional hotels, leaving visitors with limited options for longer stays, self-catering holidays, or corporate relocations. Shaun Adams, founder and CEO of [Victory Gate Developments](https://victorygate.gi/), identified the demand for serviced apartments that combine hotel-level service with the space and independence of a private home. The result is a building that offers something Gibraltar has not had before: a purpose-built apart hotel at scale. With 238 apartments ranging from compact studios to spacious two bedroom suites, Victory Suites can accommodate solo business travellers, couples, families, corporate groups, and long-term residents under one roof. The development was constructed by Situs Construction Ltd under the direction of Jorge Leiria, with technical oversight from Allan Gordon, who brings over 40 years of experience in property and construction. Every apartment at Victory Suites is fully furnished and equipped for immediate move-in. The standard specification across all suite types includes a full kitchen with ceramic hob, oven, dishwasher, and washing machine. Air conditioning, Smart TV, high-speed WiFi, smart keyless entry, premium bedding, and fresh towels and linens are provided as standard. Each suite has a private balcony with views across Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, or the Strait. **Studios** are the most compact option, [designed for solo travellers](/blog/designed-for-modern-travellers) and short stays. **Executive Studios** add a separate living area with sofa bed, making them the most versatile choice for couples or business visitors. **One Bedroom Suites** provide a dedicated private bedroom and open-plan living space. **Two Bedroom Suites** are the largest, accommodating families or groups of up to five with two private bedrooms and a full kitchen and living area. Beyond the individual suites, the building's shared amenities set it apart from anything else in Gibraltar. The heated indoor swimming pool is open year round. The Technogym-equipped fitness centre operates 24 hours with cardio machines, free weights, and functional training equipment. A business lounge provides quiet workspace for [remote workers and corporate guests](/blog/gibraltar-business-leisure-accommodation). The ground-floor cafe serves residents and visitors. An on-site reception and concierge team handles everything from restaurant reservations and [Rock tours](/blog/rock-of-gibraltar-guide) to [day trips into Spain](/blog/day-trips-spain-costa-del-sol), airport transfers, and grocery delivery to your suite before arrival. Victory Suites sits on Devils Tower Road, one of the most connected locations in Gibraltar. [Gibraltar International Airport](https://www.gibraltarairport.gi/) is three minutes away, making it the closest quality accommodation to the terminal. The Spanish border at La Linea de la Concepcion is approximately ten minutes on foot. With the [2026 EU treaty removing the border fence](/blog/gibraltar-joins-schengen-2026-eu-treaty-visitors-guide), the location becomes even more strategic. Guests at Victory Suites will be able to walk seamlessly between Gibraltar and Spain, with no queues and no passport checks at the land border. The airport's new dual immigration controls mean arriving passengers clear both Gibraltar and Schengen checks in one go, then move freely across the territory.
