Taj Chefchaouen Luxury Hotel and Spa

Taj Chefchaouen Luxury Hotel and Spa is a four-star luxury hotel in the old town (medina) of Chefchaouen, with the exact street shown on the booking confirmation. Listed with a spa amenity, it has an 8.8 out of 10 rating on ma-hotels.net (2026) and the highest rate in this group, from about 2,150 MAD (roughly US$231) per night. Chefchaouen sits in the Rif mountains of northern Morocco, in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region, about two hours by road from Tangier and roughly an hour and a half from Tetouan. The old medina, founded in 1471 as a fortress town and later expanded by Andalusian refugees, is known for lanes washed in shades of blue and white. Its central square, Plaza Uta el-Hammam, holds the red-walled kasbah and the Great Mosque with its octagonal minaret, and the Ras el-Maa spring and stream on the eastern edge of the medina are a short walk away. Cars and taxis cannot enter the medina lanes, so luggage is carried by hand or by porters from the nearest gate, and many lanes climb in steps. The listing highlights spa facilities. As a larger hotel-style property, it is likely to offer a range of room types; visitors should confirm room categories, treatment menus and any hammam or pool access directly with the property. Breakfast is the standard offering at luxury hotels in Morocco, and may include pastries, eggs, fruit, bread and Moroccan pancakes. Evening dining options in the medina include terrace restaurants around Plaza Uta el-Hammam. Staff at Moroccan guest houses commonly help with airport and bus transfers, hiking arrangements in nearby Talassemtane National Park and the Akchour waterfalls, and local restaurant bookings. Rates vary with season and room type, and the highest demand falls in spring, early autumn and on Moroccan holidays; winters are cool and damp at this altitude of about 600 metres, so heating is worth confirming when booking.
