Description
Palais Sebban is a traditional residential palace in the Medina that now operates as a boutique hotel. It contains about 25 rooms and suites decorated with geometric tile patterns, wooden carvings, and features a central courtyard with a fountain and planted areas.

The building dates to the 19th century when it was constructed as a private residence. It was later converted into a hotel while maintaining its original architectural design and traditional craftsmanship.
