Secluded high on the hills above the medina, Fairmont Tazi Palace Tangier mirrors the city’s seductive charm and is set to become one of the finest 5-star hotels in Morocco. Here, graceful luxury is complemented by incomparable views and historic features meticulously restored to their original 1920s glory.
Nestled on the Moroccan Riviera, the magnificent property offers incomparable views and unparalleled luxury throughout its 133 rooms, suites and penthouses, including one Signature Suite, two Penthouses, and one Katara Suite.

Curated and designed by OBMI & CCCRA Architects, the property’s historic features are meticulously restored to their original 1920s glory and are complimented by a collection of vibrant dining venues and a spectacular wellness centre.

Adorned throughout the reimagined interior of the property, guests can find artwork by Artisans from the local Moroccan community in the handcrafted Mousharabieh, Tadelakt and Zellige features of the hotel. In addition, each guestroom embodies the elements of traditional Moroccan decor and finely crafted textiles in a harmonious and vibrant design.
