Best Luxury Hotels In Tangier
If you’ve ever sailed through the Strait of Gibraltar, you’ll have noticed the Moorish-whitewashed buildings of Tangier, along the North African coast. This Moroccan city has long been a popular destination with much to see, including a hillside medina that was once home to the Dar el Makhzen and a palace of the sultans (it’s now a museum filled with national artefacts) and the Sidi Bou Abib Mosque. Spanish, Portuguese, and French influences can be found in the food and culture. And there’s a bohemian laid-back feel to Tangier which is in complete contrast to the bustle of Marrakech, this is a place which has been sought out by notable artists, musicians and writers over the years. If you are heading to this wonderful city here are our favourite hotels to stay at.
