The Heure Bleue Palais offers spacious rooms and suites with an elegant décor. They come with flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms, and some also feature Italian showers or balconies. EVERYthing about this property was wonderful from the moment we arrived. Our luggage was scooped up by a friendly staff member, we were served tea and sweets in a beautiful lounge and greeted by the manager with his orange scarf. All is top notch and delightful in all directions. Our room was beautiful and spacious. The inner garden and dining room is beautiful and the food was delicious and creative. Room service was quick and very accommodating. There were many nice amenities and the surrounding area was so much fun to explore day and night. We loved being near the sea and adventuring in the active fishing port. I highly recommend this property. The staff were so professional, helpful and friendly. There is a wonderful grace about this place.

Set on the city wall, this beautiful riad offers a rooftop terrace overlooking the old medina of Essaouira. Its spacious guest rooms are elegantly decorated with Moroccan design and a fireplace.

All of the air-conditioned rooms at the Riad Chbanate are also equipped with a TV and a luxurious bathroom with bathtub. They all overlook the riad’s indoor patio. This is a beautiful riad with friendly staff. The rooms were well decorated. The homemade breakfast was great. The riad is not far from one of the main entrances to the medina, so you can easily find a parking lot just outside the medina, and the riad staff will help you with your luggage. The experience here was really unforgettable, relaxed and comfortable.
