Rooms at this large hotel are big and nicely decorated. There are also George Sebastian-inspired suites with two terraces.
It's a bit of a surprising sight, this beautiful looking faux palace hotel, one of the classiest in the country, sitting across from a neglected patch of grass and surrounded by pot-holed and derelict looking buildings...
This is no Disney-like Alladin hotel. Occupying the old kasbah in the northern section of the medina, this is the real thing, albeit generously re-imagined and re-appointed...
The flashy Sinbad gets good reviews. It has an exclusive feel, excellent service and spacious rooms set in lush grounds with shady terraces. There's also a good pool and private beach.
A 10-room designer hotel, with furnishings by Starck and Arad, and some wonderful North African contemporary art, this is superbly sited on top of Byrsa Hill...
An atmospheric place to stay in Houmt Souq, the Marhala (owned by the Touring Club de Tunisie) has barrel-vaulted rooms surrounding a central courtyard. You may feel like a medieval monk in some of the more unadorned ones.
