As boutique hotels go, the Hôtel d’Orient in Annaba is certainly one of the best in Algeria. First opening its doors for business in 1876 as with many of these types hotels, for many years it was the place to be seen.

Thankfully, those days are now behind it and after considerable investment and renovations, the Hôtel d’Orient in Annaba has opened its doors again for discerning travellers to Algeria.
