Fairmont Tazi Palace Tangier is now open and ready to welcome guests. Originally built in the 1920s as a residence for the King’s advisor, the palace has been restored and expanded upon, standing high on the hills of the city.
Debuting this fall, the new Fairmont Tazi Palace Tangier mirrors the city’s seductive charm. It is set upon 8.9 acres of lush and secluded hills overlooking the city. Nestled on the Moroccan Riviera, the majestic property offers incomparable views and unparalleled luxury throughout its 133 rooms, suites and penthouses, including one Signature Suite, two Penthouses, and one Katara Suite. Guests will experience lavish accommodations, a wide range of culinary venues, and rejuvenating wellness offerings, all within an idyllic setting celebrating rich Moroccan history and culture.
Fairmont Tazi Palace Tangier will provide the ultimate cultural getaway, cultivating the style and artistry of Tangier. 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. The palace offers select guestrooms overlooking the forested hillside, with additional rooms providing unobstructed views of the Old City with mountains on the horizon, creating a picturesque atmosphere.
“Tangier is a vibrant and multicultural city infused with Mediterranean spirit, and we’re thrilled to give the opportunity for guests to experience Fairmont’s pioneering approach to unique hospitality while exploring the many cultures and civilizations that have shaped the city’s rich history,” said Fabien Gastinel, General Manager Fairmont Tazi Palace.
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.
Across the expansive grounds, the property’s landscaping reflects a unique blend between Arab and Andalusian cultures: the native, centenary eucalyptus trees have been preserved, and now live alongside thriving palm, olive, citrus, and pomegranate groves.
For those with a refined palette and a desire for authentic cuisine, the palace will be home to seven culinary venues, ensuring guests have access to eclectic dining experiences and handcrafted, refreshing cocktails throughout their stay. Led by the talented Head Chef Christopher Blake, the selection of vibrant restaurants and bars reflect the hotel’s essence and personality, delivering exceptional gastronomy with curated menus and varied entertainment.
