Kenzi Solazur is a large hotel on the Tangier seafront, set apart from the medina and facing the bay. It suits visitors who prefer a resort-style stay to a guesthouse, with space to relax, dining on site and the beach close by. The sea views and the sound of the waves give it a holiday feel that is quite different from the old town, and it works well for families, couples on a longer stay and groups who want a comfortable base with plenty of room. The trade-off is distance from the medina, so expect to use taxis for sightseeing, though the walk along the promenade into the centre is pleasant in good weather. For a stay that mixes culture and downtime, it is a practical choice.
Location and getting around
The hotel stands on the bay, a short distance from the beach and the corniche. The new town, with its shops, cafes and restaurants, is within reach, and the Grand Socco and the medina are a short taxi ride. The train station and the port are also a short drive, so the hotel is convenient for travellers arriving by rail or ferry. If you plan day trips, ask the front desk about arranging a driver or tour, since pickups from larger hotels are common.
Rooms and facilities
As a larger hotel, it typically offers a range of room categories, with sea-facing rooms commanding a premium. Public areas usually include restaurants, a lobby bar or lounge, and outdoor space, and many guests use the pool and terraces in warmer months. Facilities and opening hours change with the season, so check what is open on your dates, including any spa, gym or beach access.
Breakfast is often a buffet, and half-board packages may be available. Because the hotel caters to groups and conferences as well as leisure travellers, it can be busy at times, so ask about quieter rooms if you prefer calm.
Who it suits
Families and couples who want space, a pool and sea views will be most comfortable here. Travellers who want to be inside the medina after dark may prefer a guesthouse in the old town, but a seafront base has its own appeal, particularly for a sunset walk on the corniche. It is also a sensible choice for cruise or ferry passengers extending their stay, because the logistics are simple.
Before you book, check the room view, the breakfast terms and any resort or service charges, and confirm transport options for evening outings. Dress modestly in public areas away from the pool, as in the rest of the country.
