Fairmont Tazi Palace Tangier

Fairmont Tazi Palace Tangier is a five-star palace hotel in the Rmilet district on the western outskirts of Tangier, in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region of Morocco. It is built around the restored Tazi Palace and its extensive gardens, which sit on a hillside away from the bustle of the centre. The medina and Kasbah are a short drive away, and the Cape Spartel lighthouse and the Atlantic coast lie further west, so the hotel works as a retreat rather than a walk-to-everything base. A taxi or hotel car is the usual way to reach the old town, the Grand Socco or the ferry port. The setting combines the historic palace architecture, with ornate Moroccan plasterwork, tiling and carved woodwork, with newer buildings arranged among mature gardens and water features. The atmosphere is secluded and formal. Rooms are offered as standard rooms, double or twin rooms and suites, with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and the suites are the most spacious option. Nightly rates of roughly MAD 2,300 to 5,500 place it among the most expensive hotels in northern Morocco. Dining is centred on the hotel's restaurants, which typically include Moroccan and Mediterranean menus, and breakfast is a generous spread in keeping with the five-star category. Leisure facilities include pools set within the gardens, a spa, a hammam and a fitness centre, which together make the property well suited to guests who want to spend time on site. Service is attentive and concierge-driven, aimed at couples, honeymooners, small groups and travellers marking special occasions, and the staff can organise excursions to the medina, the Caves of Hercules, Asilah and Chefchaouen. Families are accommodated, though the emphasis is on tranquillity rather than activities for children. Because the hotel sits outside the central grid, visitors planning to see the sights daily should budget for transfers, and reservations are wise in high season.
