Elegant Moroccan-style
This luxury hotel is one of the best located hotels in Marrakech. Occupying a traditional building right in the heart of the medina, it is within walking distance of the Jemaa el Fna Square, the Koutoubia Mosque with its decorative minaret and the many museums within the city. The crowded souk offers a unique experience as you barter for carpets, leather goods and local pottery.
This Relais and Chateaux luxury hotel in Marrakech is no ordinary place to stay. The Riad-style building blends authentic Moroccan architecture and style with the more traditional comforts of a five star hotel. Leather sofas sit on beautiful Moroccan tile floors; walkways are lit with floor-standing lamps set beneath carved lampshades; mint tea is served in elegant silverware and the spa is a proper hammam with a steam room, massage and beauty centre.
La Villa des Orangers is set in fragrant gardens enhanced by tinkling water fountains. The 21 apartments and 6 luxury guest rooms are complemented by the three swimming pools: one on the rooftop terrace, a full-size heated pool in the garden and a smaller pool attached to the two apartments in the private riad which comes complete with its own solarium. The air-conditioned/heated guest rooms enjoy comfortable beds, a private safe, satellite TV and modern bathrooms. Breakfast and a light lunch are included in the room rate and are served in one of the courtyards or by the pool.
This luxury hotel prides itself on its gastronomic cuisine with a Mediterranean or Moroccan menu. After dinner, relax on the terrace beneath the stars or indulge in a Panatela in the cigar cellar. The hotel has a non-alcoholic open bar serving mint tea, soft drinks and sweet Moroccan pastries 24 hours a day. The reception includes helpful concierge services and is happy to arrange valet parking, restaurant recommendations and private airport transfers.
