Grand Hotel Villa de France
Upmarket matchday base with two bars and a pool
About this hotel
Two bars on site change the evening around a match at Tangier Grand Stadium, giving guests somewhere to eat and drink without joining the crowd flowing out toward the taxi ranks on the approach roads. The outdoor pool and hot tub suit a longer stay better than a single-night turnaround, useful for fans stretching a fixture weekend into a few days in Tangier. Free parking is a genuine advantage for anyone who has driven in rather than relying on a petit taxi, and the airport shuttle simplifies a Ibn Battouta arrival timed around kickoff. Fine dining on site means the evening does not depend entirely on finding a table near the ground.

Our take
This suits fans who want full hotel service, dining, a bar and a pool, around a Botola Pro weekend rather than a bare-bones matchday room, and who value having a car or arriving by air over relying purely on petit taxis. Groups on a tight budget or travelling with minimal luggage may find the upmarket pricing and full-service format more than a single fixture needs.
- Book the hot tub or pool time in advance on a busy fixture weekend, upmarket rooms here fill quickly around big Botola Pro dates.
- Use the airport shuttle if you are flying into Ibn Battouta for a weekend match, it beats arranging a separate petit taxi.
- Eat at one of the two on-site bars after a night kickoff rather than joining the queue for tables near the ground.

Why guests love itFans staying here find the two bars useful on a night when the tables near Tangier Grand Stadium are full, and the pool and hot tub make a multi-day fixture weekend feel less like a stopover. The free parking stands out for anyone who has driven in rather than taken a petit taxi, and the airport shuttle takes the guesswork out of an Ibn Battouta arrival timed around kickoff.
