About L’Heure Bleue Palais
A part of the Relais & Châteaux association, L'Heure Bleue Palais in the heart of Essaouira is a prestigious riad that retains the cachet of a traditional Moroccan mansion while offering the comforts of a large hotel brand. All 33 rooms and suites are arranged around a patio hosting a fountain, doubling as a stage for cultural and musical events.
For ultimate relaxation, guests can visit the hammam or the swimming pool on the terrace, offering incredible views of the medina and the ocean. The restaurant's gourmet cuisine, blending French and Moroccan flavors, makes it an unmissable destination for pleasure seekers.
"The simplicity of connecting to so many of the industry’s best solutions is one of the reasons we chose Mews. In just a few clicks, we can find an integration that can improve our hotel operations, generate more revenue and enhance guest experiences."

Online check-in opens space and time for Moroccan hospitality
Challenge
The guest arrival process should be as smooth and enjoyable as the rest of the stay – less admin, more pampering.
Solution
Despite the heavenly setting of L’Heure Bleue Palais, switching to vacation mode can be challenging if your stay starts with front-desk queues. With Mews Guest Journey, guests receive an automated booking confirmation email that encourages online check-in, making the arrival much more effective. Online check-in saves time for the L’Heure Bleue Palais team as well, who can focus on ensuring that the art of Moroccan hospitality is demonstrated at its very best.
Result
• 15% online check-in rate
• Front-office staff has more time for a personalized welcome
• 7% higher average booking value for direct bookings (compared to channel managers)
• 39% higher online check-in ratio for direct bookings (compared to channel managers)
“Mews gave us a key to unlock our full potential through multiple operational boosts. All the time savings quickly add up, placing our team where they're needed most: away from the screens and in front of the guests.”
