What we love about this stay
Head straight to the rooftop terrace around six — Essaouira's golden hour hits differently up here, with the Atlantic stretching out beyond the medina rooftops and the muezzin's call threading through the salt air. Don't skip the complimentary evening reception; it's genuinely good, not performative, and the canapés rival what you'd get at L'Oriental. Speaking of, request a courtyard-facing table at dinner rather than inside — the fountain and candlelight make it. For rooms, push for an upper-floor suite with medina views; the lower categories are handsome but can feel enclosed. Book a hammam treatment early in your stay, not as a farewell gesture — it recalibrates everything, and you'll carry that ease through the rest of your time wandering the souks.

Un séjour à l'Heure Bleue procure toujours un immense plaisir. Le cadre est superbe et reposant. Les membres de la direction ainsi que toute l'équipe sont bienveillants, disponibles et souriants. Le restaurant permet de goûter d'excellents plats marocains préparés par un chef créatif.

I have been to Essaouria twice and had always looked at this hotel but not stayed . This time I did and it was SO good I booked in for another night . The staff are exceptional and the attention to detail lovely to see . An ‘ old fashioned charm ‘ indeed . I loved my stay and will not choose another hotel here again .
