Dar Banana

Dar Banana is a hotel on the edge of Tangier's Old Medina, with a rare position directly facing the beach. This places it at the junction of the historic quarter's labyrinthine lanes and the open expanse of the Atlantic coast. It's a spot favored by those who want the atmosphere of the medina without being deep within its sometimes chaotic core, and the consistent rating from over two hundred reviews suggests it reliably meets that expectation for a broad range of visitors.

The property caters to families and travelers arriving by air, with dedicated rooms for groups and a shuttle service from the airport. This practical support is valuable in a city where the medina's pedestrian streets can make initial navigation with luggage a challenge. Guests can settle into their room, which includes a coffee maker for an early morning brew, and then step out easily to explore either the ancient city or the shoreline.

The experience here is defined by this duality. You might start your day watching the sea from the beachfront, then wander into the medina for the afternoon, knowing you have a straightforward return. The restaurant provides a convenient dining option without needing to venture out at night. With a check-out time in the early afternoon, there's time for a final walk along the water before departing.
