Story of

Heure Bleue Palais

Heure Bleue Palais

Built on the ruins of an ancient fondouk – a hostel for travelling traders, Heure Bleue Palais is no ordinary hotel. Steeped in history, its journey began at the end of the 18th century as the sumptuous residence of pasha Caïd Mbark Saidi. It was later abandoned, before being rescued by the Azoulay family. Three years later and with the passion and unique know-how of local craftsmen, it rose from the ashes as a luxury hotel – the Relais & Châteaux Heure Bleue Palais.
