VANCII Hotel

Converted from a traditional riad on Derb Sidi Bellehcen off Avenue Hassan II, VANCII Hotel keeps its blue-washed courtyard walls and tiled stairwell within Chefchaouen's medina, a five-minute walk from Plaza Uta el-Hammam — a fit for travelers wanting old-town character without sacrificing modern service.

A sun deck overlooks the surrounding blue rooftops, and a cooking class teaches Chefchaouen staples in a small kitchen off the dining area. Rooms carry minibars and individual AC despite the historic shell.

The sauna and 24-hour front desk suit those arriving late from Tangier or Fez by shared taxi.
