The Palais Zahia is by far the coolest hotel that I have ever stayed at. The hotel staff was amazing and very courteous. The daily breakfast was delicious and there was a wide variety of things to eat. The multiple rooftop terraces were each amazing and unique. my favorite was the highest terrorist with the view to the bay. I could sit there all day and watch the ships come and go from the bay. It looked like an Arabian Palace inside and it was nicely appointed and decorated. Every single surface inside the hotel from the first floor all the way to the roof is either hand-painted or hand carved or both. Multiple fantastic artworks and colorful and unique vases decorate the space as well. The chandelier was absolutely beautiful. The level of detail extends inside the rooms as well and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also nicely appointed. Every single tile in the hotel from the first floor to the rooftop to the bathroom to the hallway bathroom to anything you can think of were real high quality tile. It had a nice and smooth texture to the tile that I can't describe and they shine to them that was always beautiful in every kind of light. Even hallway bathrooms were nicely appointed. There's not enough words I can say to describe how beautiful this place is. I wouldn't even consider going to any other place in Tangier except this hotel. It's location in the Medina was also very convenient for shopping and dining and for the ambiance. I'm 100% satisfied!!!

Amazing historical building.

Such a wonderful place at entrance of the the Medina of Tangier. A former bank building from 1907 transferred in the early 2000s to a hotel. After traveling for almost 3 weeks all over Morocco we had our last two nights in this historic place. Great service, excellent breakfast buffet, nicely decorated rooms. Very detail orientated decor of the hotel. The only shortcoming was the noise coming from the street at night. We had a balcony room, facing the street, lovely during daytime and in the evenings, but a bit noisy at night. Not the fault of the hotel, but if you have a light sleep you might want to ask a room facing not the street.

This is a very beautiful and thoughtfully decorated hotel in an historic riad in the old city. There is a rooftop terrace with a panoramic view of the city and of the sea; an elegant dining room in the lobby where I had a very good dinner. The rooms vary in size, so depending on your priorities you might want to inquire about available options. My room was spacious with a balcony facing the street and it was beautifully decorated. Staff are all super-friendly. Overall great stay.

I always stay at this hotel. It is really lovely. You need to know it is very noisy. The noise travels from the ground floor all the way up, during meals and at night it is noisy. I don’t mind the noise, but if you are a light sleeper, beware!

We were treated wonderfully by all of the staff. They had a taxi waiting at the dock which made it so easy to get there. It was fun seeing how the hotel had been transformed from the prior business. If you want to experience a different culture, this hotel makes it easy, you are right in the middle of Tangier. If you want to go to have a good nights sleep, well, things go into the night! Lina gave us a wonderful tour that helped us learn of their culture as well as the beautiful area and shopping in Tangier.

Short and sweet stay.

From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was excellent. I was greeted with complimentary tea and biscuits, which was a lovely and thoughtful touch after a long journey. The views from the top floors were absolutely stunning and added something really special to the stay. The staff were incredibly helpful, even arranging a hotel transfer for a 3 a.m. airport run – a level of service that didn’t go unnoticed. The only downside was that the spa was fully booked for the entire day, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a comfortable and well-run hotel with great service and fantastic views. I’d definitely stay again.
