Tangier has a wide range of accommodation and places to stay vary from cheap and sleazy, to excellent Riads (boutique hotels in restored mansions). Tangier is not a relaxed place to visit, so finding a good hotel that offers a little respite from the hustle, will really make your visit more enjoyable. Make sure you book your first night in advance, there are plenty of hustlers in Tangier who will offer to show you to a hotel . Below are some recommended hotels in Tangier that reflect my personal taste for intimate, mid-range hotels:
- La Tangerina - A lovingly restored boutique hotel, with 10 unique rooms. Its location is in the Kasbah, one of the most upmarket sections of Tangier, situated on a hill overlooking the rest of the city. Enjoy meals on the rooftop terrace, with traditional Moroccan cuisine available for dinner. The Tangerina gets the highest ratings for all Tangier hotels. Rates start at 45 Euros per night.
