This Hotel is located in Tamanrasset, in southern Algeria, with a stunning view over the magnificent mountains of Hoggar in the desert, a unique view, greatly appreciated by tourists, both national and international. The name Tahat is a reference to "Mont Tahat", the highest mountain in the region and is considered as one of the most important architectural works of Hoggar.

Built in 1978, it was designed by the French architect Fernand Pouillon, with a capacity of 148 rooms that, after the remodeling, will pass to 108 rooms including a presidential suite.

The Hotel occupies an area of 27.000m2 with a category of 3 stars before the works, with expectations of ascent to 4 stars after the remodeling. The Hotel has an architecture that is founded in perfect harmony with its surroundings and the entire refurbishment will respect the architectural volumes and materials designed by Pouillon.

As far as rehabilitation is concerned, there will be a total adaptation of existing spaces. The work will have an expected duration of 2 years and requires the total closure of the hotel during this period.

In addition to the rehabilitation of the rooms, Hasnaoui-FCM Construction is also responsible for all the decoration of the Hotel, where there is an increased concern for comfort, durability and design of all materials, from furniture to fabrics. The challenge that can not be ignored is that a hotel is a meeting space of cultures and all the remodeling will take this assumption into consideration.
