Five-star seafront hotel on the Malabata corniche with Strait of Gibraltar views, a pool, spa and on-site casino.
Mövenpick Hotel & Casino Malabata Tanger is a five-star seafront hotel on the Malabata corniche, the waterfront stretch on the eastern side of Tangier's bay in northern Morocco. Its position on Route de Malabata gives direct views of the Strait of Gibraltar and, on clear days, the Spanish coast. The medina and the Grand Socco are a few kilometres to the west, reached by a short taxi ride, and the port and ferry terminals are also nearby.
The hotel is a large, modern resort-style property built to serve both holidaymakers and business travellers, with a beachfront setting that distinguishes it from the city-centre hotels. Room categories include Standard Rooms, Double or Twin Rooms and Suites, all with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and many look out over the sea. Suites offer extra living space and are the usual choice for families and longer stays.
Dining at the hotel is built around its restaurant, with a breakfast buffet and international and Moroccan menus at lunch and dinner. The Malabata area also has several independent seafront cafes and fish restaurants a short drive away for guests who want to eat outside the hotel.
Facilities include a pool, a spa, a fitness centre and direct access to the beach. The on-site casino is a defining feature of the property and is one of the few in the city; entry is restricted to adults and generally requires a valid passport or national identity document. Guests who prefer a quieter stay can focus on the pool terrace and spa instead.
Service follows the international Mövenpick standard, with a professional front desk able to arrange airport transfers, taxis and day excursions to Cap Spartel, the Caves of Hercules, Asilah and Chefchaouen. The hotel is well suited to resort-style stays, though it is not within walking distance of the old town, so visitors who plan to spend most of their time in the medina may prefer to taxi in for the day. Typical rates run from about MAD 1,300 to MAD 2,600 per night depending on the season and room type.
