; 63 Rue Touahen; d Dh660-880, ste Dh1300; )
This lovingly
restored house has just a few comfy rooms with subtle lighting, beautiful furniture and
little touches that make it feel like a home rather than a hotel. The simple white walls are
lifted by the brightly painted woodwork, and many colourful paintings by the owner. The
staff are incredibly friendly - you'll feel more like family than a paying guest by the time
you leave. Dinner is available here on request.
Lalla Mira

; 14 Rue d'Algerie; s/d/ste Dh436/692/920; )
This gorgeous
little place has simple rooms with ochre
tadelakt
walls, wrought-iron furniture, natural
fabrics and solar-powered underfloor heating. The hotel also has a great hammam and a
good restaurant (mains Dh90 to Dh120) serving a decent selection of vegetarian food.

Madada

; 5 Rue Youssef el-Fassi; r Dh1250, ste Dh1850; )
With five
rooms and two suites, this is a stylish addition to the Essaouira accommodation scene,
opting for muted greys and browns and reds. Some rooms have terraces to catch the At-
lantic breeze, others have unusual semi-open-plan bedrooms-bathrooms, so are best
shared with someone you already know pretty well.

Palais Heure Bleue
( 0524 47 42 22;

; 2 Rue Ibn Batouta; d/ste Dh3300/5850; )
A de-
cided hush falls as you walk through the doors of the Heure Bleue, Essaouira's top hotel.
This swish riad has everything you could ever want, from a rooftop swimming pool to its
own private cinema and billiard room. Chic European style and colonial charm meet in
the lounge, where a grand piano sits beneath trophy heads from a long-forgotten hunting
trip, and in the bedrooms where zebra prints, dark woods and marble counter tops vie for
attention.
