The 10 Best Hotels
1
El Minzah Hotel
Luxury 4.7€120–300/night Ville Nouvelle (Rue de la Liberté)
Tangier's most famous hotel — a 1930s grand hotel that hosted spies, writers, and diplomats during the International Zone era. The Andalusian courtyard, the wood-panelled bar, and the rooftop terrace with Strait of Gibraltar views drip with history. Recently renovated to modern standards while keeping its Golden Age character.

Fairmont Tazi Palace
Luxury 4.8€150–400/night Cape Spartel Area
Opened in a former royal palace on the Atlantic cliffs near Cape Spartel. The property sprawls across 130 hectares with gardens, pools, a full spa, and views of the Atlantic. It is Tangier's most luxurious resort — removed from the city but stunning in its own right.

Nord-Pinus Tanger
Upper Mid-Range 4.6€100–250/night Kasbah
A design-forward boutique hotel inside the kasbah with stunning views across the Strait of Gibraltar to Spain. The aesthetic is minimalist-meets-Moroccan — whitewashed walls, curated vintage pieces, and dramatic views from every room. The rooftop terrace is one of Tangier's finest.

La Tangerina
Mid-Range 4.7€70–150/night Kasbah
A charming 10-room guesthouse perched on the kasbah cliff with sweeping views of the port, medina, and strait. Each room is individually decorated with Moroccan and European antiques. The rooftop breakfast with morning views of Spain across the water is unforgettable.

Dar Nour
Mid-Range 4.6€60–130/night Kasbah
A colourful 7-room riad in the heart of the kasbah with a terrace overlooking the strait. The rooms are bright and boldly decorated — each a different colour scheme inspired by Tangier's artistic heritage. The owners are wonderfully hospitable and full of local recommendations.

Grand Hotel Villa de France
Upper Mid-Range 4.5€90–220/night Upper Ville Nouvelle
Henri Matisse stayed in Room 35 in 1912 and painted his famous "Window at Tangier" from its balcony. The hotel has been painstakingly restored after decades of closure. The bay views, the Art Nouveau details, and the knowledge that you're walking Matisse's corridors make it special.

Mövenpick Hotel & Casino Malabata
Mid-Range 4.3€60–150/night Malabata Beach
A beachfront hotel on the Malabata coast east of the city centre. Direct beach access, a pool, spa, and casino make it a self-contained option. Less atmospheric than the kasbah hotels but more spacious and family-friendly. Good for travellers combining Tangier city visits with beach time.

Dar Chams Tanja
Mid-Range 4.5€50–110/night Upper Medina
A traditional riad in the upper medina with a beautiful tiled courtyard, a small hammam, and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the bay. The rooms are simple but elegant with zellij and carved plaster. Walking distance to everything in the medina and kasbah.

Hotel Continental
Budget 4€25–60/night Medina (Port Edge)
The oldest hotel in Tangier (1870) — a faded grand hotel that oozes atmosphere. Paul Bowles wrote here, Bertolucci filmed here. The rooms are basic and the plumbing temperamental, but the tiled halls, the harbour views from the terrace, and the overwhelming sense of history make it irreplaceable. It is the most atmospheric budget stay in Morocco.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I stay in Tangier?
The Kasbah (old fortress at the top of the medina) is the most atmospheric — cliff-top views, intimate riads, and walking distance to everything. The Ville Nouvelle has larger hotels with modern amenities and is easier for drivers. The Malabata/beach area east of the city has resort-style properties. For first-timers, the Kasbah or upper medina offer the best Tangier experience.
How much do hotels in Tangier cost?
Budget hotels start at 200–400 MAD ($20–40)/night. Mid-range boutique hotels run 500–1000 MAD ($50–100). Luxury properties range from 1500–3500 MAD ($150–350). Tangier is moderately priced — cheaper than Marrakech but slightly more than Fes. Note: World Cup 2030 will see significant price increases for match dates, so book early.
Will Tangier host World Cup 2030 matches?
Yes — Tangier's Grand Stade de Tanger is confirmed as a World Cup 2030 venue. The city is investing heavily in infrastructure including the new TGV high-speed rail (connecting Tangier to Casablanca in 2 hours) and port upgrades. Hotels will be in extremely high demand during match dates — book as far ahead as possible.
