The five-star property is another milestone for Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, supporting its North African expansion strategy. It features 189 contemporary rooms and suites including fine dining, spa and MICE facilities, and unhindered city or lake views.

Aside from being set in a natural lagoon, Mövenpick Hotel du Lac Tunis is conveniently located in the city’s thriving Berges du Lac business and diplomatic district, 10 minutes from Tunis-Carthage airport and downtown Tunis, 15 minutes from the towns of Carthage, La Marsa and Sidi Bou Said, and within easy reach of cultural sites, shopping outlets and golf courses.

“Mövenpick’s signature hospitality style, which is centred on our ‘we make moments’ philosophy, will also make its mark in Tunis, ensuring our guests experience a warm and personal service and an unforgettable stay in this exciting Mediterranean city,” Descrozaille added.
