Opulent Moroccan
The elegant Kssour Agafay is right in the heart of Marrakech’s old medina. It is a two minute walk along the narrow lanes to the Jemaa El Fna, the noisy central hub of the city where market vendors and entertainers gather to do business. The Bahia Palace, Koutoubia Mosque and the historic houses and gardens of this colourful city are all close by and are easily accessed on foot.
This delightfully modernized 16th century riad is now one of the most charming boutique hotels in Marrakech. It was awarded a national award for the preservation of Moroccan culture in 2006. Well located, not far from the main square, the cobbled alleys lead past many heavy doorways to this surprisingly luxurious boutique hotel. Once the home of a Moroccan noble, this upmarket residence was designed to entertain stately visitors, so relax and enjoy the experience!
Offering just 6 rooms, the hotel is a quiet oasis where guests can relax by the pool or venture out exploring the city at their leisure. This spacious and authentic Moroccan home has retained much of the Moorish crafts in the doorways, décor and lighting; the beds are comfortable and bathrooms are generously sized, modern and well equipped.
For a little more space and a private terrace with fabulous views across the city rooftops, the Koutoubia suite is well worth the extra cost. The lime room is the perfect choice who those who like to wake up to bright walls. The high, decorated ceilings add to the feeling of airy spaciousness in the well-planned rooms.
Home cooked organic cuisine is served daily from the kitchen of this charming boutique hotel, with an ever-changing menu. Breakfast is included in the room rate and can be ordered on room service or may be served in the courtyard or in the roof terrace. The excellent facilities and services of this boutique hotel can be booked for parties, family gatherings or conferences and there is plenty of space to accommodate most events in a delightful homely atmosphere. It also hosts a private members’ club boasting over 300 members from around the globe.
