Hotel Continental in Tangier exudes historical charm and elegance, making it an emblematic establishment for travelers seeking a deep connection with the past. Built in 1870, this historic hotel has hosted notable figures such as painter Degas and Winston Churchill, offering guests a unique opportunity to walk in the footsteps of these icons. The establishment is often described as a museum hotel with its rich collection of antique furniture and traditional Moroccan decor, which contribute to its old-world ambiance.
Situated in the medina, the hotel's location provides stunning views from its luxurious terrace and the scenic surroundings add to its allure. The decoration is a blend of historical elements and beautiful Moroccan tile work, which further enhances the authentic experience. One can easily feel like they are traveling back in time, enveloped in the grandeur and faded glory of the past.
Despite its aged appearance, which some say could benefit from a renovation, the hotel's historical and cultural heritage remains a significant draw. The breakfast dining room is particularly noted for its historical interest and the entire hotel imparts a sense of being part of Tangier's storied history. Its status as one of the oldest hotels in the city and indeed in Morocco, underscores its reputation as a landmark and a historic monument.
For those who appreciate a blend of history, culture and enchanting views, Hotel Continental offers an exceptional experience. The staff is helpful and the hotel's colorful past, combined with its authentic and charming atmosphere, makes it a captivating place to stay.
