Hotels in Algiers: city centre, Hydra and airport hotels

Where to stay in Algiers: which area to choose

Algiers city centre (Alger-Centre) is the heart of the capital: the Grande Poste, Didouche Mourad street, the Sacré-Cœur and the seafront are all within walking distance, and the metro serves the centre. It is the best choice for a first visit, an administrative trip or a family weekend.

Hydra, El Biar and Ben Aknoun, on the hills above the bay, are quieter residential districts where many embassies and companies are based. Bab Ezzouar and Dar El Beïda, to the east, suit business trips and early flights: they are close to Houari Boumediene airport. To the west, Chéraga, Staouéli, Sidi Fredj and Zéralda are home to the seaside hotels and large resorts.

The most requested hotels in Algiers

The most searched-for hotels in the capital are El Aurassi, overlooking the bay, the Mercure Alger Aéroport, the Atlantis Alger Aéroport (formerly ibis), the Hôtel Hydra Sidi Yahia and, on the west coast, the Mazafran and the Sables d'Or in Zéralda. All of them can be booked on Nreservi, with live prices for your dates.

What to see in Algiers

The metro, the tramway and suburban trains link the main districts.
