Heure Bleue Palais has an extraordinary location: at the gates of the historic old city known as the Medina, the hotel is also just minutes away from the beach and surrounds of the city. With stunning views of the ocean and the Medina, the rooftop panoramic terrace is wonderfully complemented by the heated pool and loungers (open March to December). The black marble Hammam is an oasis of calm and guests can choose from a myriad of treatments. For more earthly pleasures, the billiard room offers guests the opportunity to refine their skill at pool or billiards and at 6pm every evening the home cinema shows either a major sporting event or a classic movie. There is also the opportunity to enjoy a cookery class with the in-house chef, Ahemd Handour.
