Contemporary chic
The authentic Dar Fakir is just a short stroll from all the sights and attractions of bustling Marrakech. It is within easy walking distance of the central Jemaa el Fna Square, where entertainers and vendors ply their trade. Other sights include the Koutoubia Mosque with its decorative minaret, the Bahia Palace and the many museums within the city. Experience the bustle of the crowded souk, the vibrancy of this fascinating culture and the wonderful sights and sounds from this well-located boutique hotel.
Behind the heavy wooden door lies a pleasant surprise for guests staying at the Dar Fakir. Transformed from a local riad home into a hip boutique hotel, the Dar Fakir is a pleasant oasis in the heart of the medina. The shady garden patio is the centerpiece around which the individually designed rooms are arranged although there is no pool. The roof terrace is the perfect place to realx in the evening and enjoy a drink beneath the stars, or for soaking up the sun and the local sounds from the souk during the day. Cosy guest lounges have an oriental theme with a carved Buddha presiding over the reception area and interesting artifacts from India, Thailand and Morocco are scattered around the riad.
The 5 suites and 3 guest rooms have contemporary décor with a local Moroccan flavour and style. Ornate Berber mirrors, glass lanterns and bold colours make each room warm and welcoming. Each room of this boutique hotel is individually furnished and is more than adequate. Bathrooms are modern and spacious with good use of local tadelakt.
The Dar Fakir is more up-to-date than many riad boutique hotels in Marrakech as it includes business services, WiFi internet access and satellite TVs in each bedroom as well as in the guest lounge. Massages and other services can be arranged with the multilingual staff. Breakfast is offered daily and drinks and meals will be served on the terrace upon request. Reasonably priced and well located, this boutique hotel has friendly, courteous staff and modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay in Marrakech.
