Character and identity
Set above Tangier in 3.7 acres of century-old eucalyptus forest, Fairmont Tazi Palace is a 133-room urban retreat that trades the city's clamour for hilltop quiet, with the medina a quarter-hour drive away. The CCCRA-designed interiors lean 1920s glamour reworked through Moroccan craft: tadelakt walls, zellige, moucharabieh screens, a 12-metre lobby ceiling. Chef Christopher Blake (ex-La Mamounia) runs a sea-and-garden programme across Crudo, Parisa and the Spa Restaurant, with cocktails at Innocents and Origin Bar. The 2,500-square-metre spa, ten treatment rooms and Sodashi protocols anchor a calm, polished service register.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and families wanting a design-literate base for exploring Tangier without staying inside the medina's bustle. The labyrinthine grounds, kids' workshops including ceramics, a photogenic pool and easy access to Riviera beaches, Asilah and Chefchaouen suit travellers who want excursions by day and a quiet, food-focused property by night.
Should look elsewhere:
If you want to walk straight into the medina or stay beachfront, this hilltop forest setting will feel removed. Buddha-Bar's Siddharta Lounge only runs April to October, so winter visitors miss part of the bar scene, and the scale (133 rooms, seven outlets) won't suit anyone after a small boutique feel.
Bottom line
The defining draw is the setting: a serene, eucalyptus-shaded estate that delivers Moroccan craft and ambitious cooking without the medina's noise, while keeping the Old Town within reach. Book it if you value calm and food over walk-out-the-door souk immersion. Families should size up to the Katara Suite; couples do well in an upper-floor city-view room, ideally outside peak summer.
