La Chambre Bleue, Tunis, Tunis

La Chambre Bleue sits in the pedestrian-only alleyways of Tunis's La Medina, 300 metres from the covered souks and 600 metres from Victory Square. The Dar Lasram Museum is a 5-minute walk, and the Kasbah Mosque and Al-Zaytuna Mosque are within easy strolling distance. Guests reach the car-accessible Place de Barcelone in 10 minutes on foot, and Tunis-Carthage Airport is 11 kilometres away.

The hotel offers 8 rooms, including the signature Blue Room clad entirely in blue tiles, plus family rooms and a suite. Each unit has a private bathroom, heating, an electric kettle, and large windows overlooking the alley. The rooms are part of a restored 14th-century palace, with original tiles, high ceilings, and a domed ceiling in one room.

A full English or Irish breakfast is served daily, with homemade breads, cakes, granola, fresh juice, and coffee. The breakfast is prepared by Sonia and changes each morning, including different egg preparations and traditional Tunisian sweets. Guests eat on the terrace or in the shared living area, using beautiful handmade pottery.

Family rooms are available with multiple sleeping areas, and larger groups can stay in the quadruple room. Pets are allowed, so guests can bring their dogs or cats into the hotel. The hotel also provides free WiFi and a quiet patio for relaxing after exploring the medina.

Owner Marouane and his wife Aisha offer personalized guidance, including taxi pick-up from the airport and recommendations for day trips to Sidi Bou Said and Carthage. The staff can arrange a doctor visit to the room and provide detailed advice on local sights. Breakfast, bottled water, and wine are available upon request.
