Heure Bleue Palais

Quality and charm at its most tasteful, in an elegantly restored building in one of the smarter areas of the medina. Attracts discerning guests seeking an authentic converted palace with ornate but unpretentious decor and furnishings.



Roof terrace is particularly welcoming and is accessed via a lift, a facility rarely found in medina properties.



Less agile travellers will benefit from the relatively easy interior access and flat streets outside which are easier to navigate than those found in other Moroccan options.

Exterior

A flat fronted, Moorish style building with a majestic looking off street entrance. The property is distinctive and stylish with ornate signage beside the entrance tempting new arrivals to discover what lies within, behind the sturdy exterior walls.

Property type: Hotel



Balcony/Terrace: Some rooms



Storeys: 4



Built Year: 2004

Interior

Interior decor is both stylish and elegant without being too fussy or gaudy. There is little in the way of extraneous decor and the plush lounges are enhanced by the use of restored dark wood panelling, hinting at the property’s former life as a small palace.



Moorish decor of the main restaurant and adjacent patio provides an ideal backdrop for intimate dining and there is a spa for those needing extra pampering.

Rooms: 33

Grounds

A large and well planned roof terrace has splendid views across the medina’s rooftops. There is a good supply of comfortable furnishings and sunloungers and the rectangular pool is adequate in size for its location but rather small when considering the number of rooms on offer.



The bar and restaurant area is particularly chic with pastel coloured parasols and luxurious cushions and tableware.

Location

Area Type: Located on one of the main streets, in the eastern section of the old town area, just inside the Marrakech Gate, with a good selection of eateries, market stalls and shops within a few steps of the entrance. The harbour area, with its cafes and restaurants is 180m to the W and the modern stretch of the resort is located towards the beach, from 650m away. Taxis wait 50m away, outside the medina gateway
