A Relais & Châteaux offering all the comforts of a truly superior hotel

Heure Bleue Palais is undoubtedly the most luxurious riad in Essaouira. At the heart of the property is a lovely interior courtyard complete with ornamental fountain and towering palm trees.


The guest bedrooms have a distinctly colonial feel to them while the suites have African, Portuguese, Oriental or English themes to reflect Essaouira's varied history.


Unusually for a riad, and unique for a hotel in Essaouira, Heure Bleue features a rooftop pool with sundeck and an inviting lunch grill restaurant. The hotel has an enviable reputation for its cuisine; on royal visits the King of Morocco has enlisted the services of the Heure Bleue Palais' chef and his team. The cosy Salon Anglais club style bar is the perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink and the discreet home cinema, library and billiards room shouldn't be overlooked.


The small, intimate spa and hammam has been exquisitely designed to offer all you need by way of relaxation.
