👳🏾♂️ Salem's Honest Take
If you know the "Grand Hotel" next door with its historic charm but tired rooms, the Grand Palace is the answer. It is brand new, exclusively for adults, and massive.
It feels huge, expensive, and imposing. The lobby alone is larger than some boutique hotels. It is designed for couples who want that classic 5-star feeling—marble floors, chandeliers, and endless buffets—but with modern plumbing and cold AC.
🏰 The Architecture
It’s built like a North African palace. Arches, domes, and courtyards. The gardens are lush (a miracle for a new hotel) because they integrated it into existing mature palms.
🥘 Dining & Drinking
You have access to facilities at the neighboring Grand Hotel and Grand Marina, giving you a huge choice. But the Palace's own restaurants (Asian & International) are quieter and higher quality.
Common Questions
It has a long sandy beach. The water is swimmable, though finding a sunbed in the front row requires waking up early (a classic "Grand" hotel habit).
It is at the very END of the tourist promenade (Mamsha), right next to the Grand Hotel. It’s a prime location for evening walks.
