Close to the Medina and the beach, this hotel is perfect if you're looking for value for money in comfortable surroundings. As well as a golden sandy beach outside of the hotel, there’s also a large palm-lined swimming pool which is heated all year round. Although the grandeur of this spacious hotel may be slightly faded, the location is unparalleled. Sports enthusiasts will be happy to learn there’s a watersports centre just outside the hotel, while spectators can lie back from the comfort of their sun lounger and marvel at some of the world-class windsurfers who flock to Essaouira. Light French dishes are served poolside, whilst you can enjoy a beautiful beachfront setting at the Mediterranean Arganier restaurant. For fresh fish and barbecued cuisine, the Cote Plage restaurant is open both for lunch and dinner and serves a fresh catch of the day from a Souiri fisherman. Families may prefer to dine in Dar Dada where authentic Moroccan cuisine is prepared daily. For a pre- or post-dinner drink, head to La Scala or Mogador’s. Each room features Moroccan mosaic bathrooms and you can choose between a Standard Room with views of the medina or a Superior Room with pool view or sea view. Junior Suites have a pool view and are a great choice for couples.
This boutique hotel is an impressive example of an elegant and sensitive renovation.

A central courtyard with a flower-filled fountain sits at the heart of the hotel, flanked by stone arches and tropical greenery, leading to colonial and Moroccan lounges. The Oriental restaurant has an authentic local menu with a creative twist – choose a table outdoors to dine at while enjoying the atmospheric candlelight. The top-floor poolside Terrace Grill has a light menu specialising in seafood that’s perfect for lunch. With the hotel’s convenient location you’ll also be able to walk to the local souks, restaurants and cafés, as well as the port and the beach.
