Suite Azur Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Suite Azur Hotel is worth booking if you want the top-rated hotel in our Essaouira sample, right inside the medina, and the price is not your main concern. Budget travellers should look at our other two picks, which cost a fraction of the price.

This hotel suits couples and families who want to step straight out into the medina and come back to a quiet street. Family rooms, a spa and a restaurant are listed by the property.
Skip it if you are mainly here for a big pool. Guests say the rooftop pool is small and sometimes closed for maintenance. Skip it too if you are counting euros: it costs far more than the other two hotels we picked. Note that the 5-star rating is estimated by the accommodation itself, not an official classification.
Location and getting around
The address is N°4, Rue Oum Rabii, in the Old Medina. The Medina of Essaouira is about 0.1 km away, roughly a minute on foot. Chaim Pinto Synagogue and Bayt Dakira are both about 0.2 km away, around 3 minutes. Walking times are straight-line estimates, and medina lanes can make the real route a little longer.
Guests describe the hotel as central, close to shops and the beach, yet on a quiet side street. The location score is 9.5. Parking is not listed among the facilities, so if you arrive by car, ask the hotel where to leave it.
What guests say
The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 963 reviews. That ranks it joint first of 7 eligible properties in the provider sample, with a large number of reviews behind it.
Breakfast is a regular highlight. Guests mention generous portions, served at the table or on the terrace, with fresh orange juice. The menu covers continental, vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free and American options.
The weak point is the pool. The rooftop setting is liked, but the water area is small and has sometimes been under maintenance.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 was 276 euros per night for 2 adults. The sample median was 156 euros. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.

Why it made our top 3

Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, cancellation terms and whether breakfast is in your rate have not been assessed. Check them on the booking page.
Ask whether the rooftop pool is open for your dates, and confirm spa hours and any fees. Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace are listed. If you will carry heavy luggage, ask how close a car can get to the door, since this is not confirmed in our data.
