Hotel Carlton Tunis

Hotel Carlton Tunis is one of the most historic independent hotels in the Tunisian capital, occupying an Art Nouveau building on Avenue Habib Bourguiba since 1926. The property has been carefully refreshed over the decades while preserving its original character — ornate façade, polished marble lobbies, and the kind of lived-in elegance that only a century of welcoming guests can produce. The hotel’s 80 individually appointed rooms include air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, private bathrooms, and select rooms with private balconies overlooking the boulevard below. A generous buffet breakfast is served daily, and the Liberty restaurant offers European and Mediterranean dishes in an atmospheric dining room. A notable feature of the Carlton is its contemporary art collection, comprising over 20 multidisciplinary works including engravings, photographs, sculptures, street art, and calligraffiti that transform corridors and communal spaces into a gallery experience. The hotel is steps from the Théâtre Municipal, the Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul, and the Bab el Bhar gate that leads into the UNESCO-listed Medina. Tunis train station is a five-minute walk for connections across Tunisia, and Carthage International Airport is approximately 15 minutes by taxi.
