Grand Hotel Villa De France

Grand Hotel Villa de France occupies a building from the late eighteenth century in what was once Tangier's diplomatic quarter — the part of the city where consulates and legations clustered before Tangier's international status ended. The gardens extend toward Saint Andrew's Church, which stands on the neighbouring plot.

The hotel runs rooms and suites across the building. All have heating and air conditioning, Wi-Fi, televisions, mini-bars, and en-suite bathrooms. The suites add a separate living room with its own television, which makes them workable for longer stays or for two people who want a door between them.

On site there are two restaurants serving French cuisine and a bar. Outdoor dining is available on the terrace, and there are both outdoor and indoor sitting areas for guests who want to stay in the grounds without eating. A swimming pool is on the property. The hotel also provides on-site parking, which matters in this part of Tangier where street parking on the hillside streets is not straightforward.

Saint Andrew's Church is a short walk through the gardens, and the medina is within reasonable walking distance downhill from the hotel's position on the ridge.
