Villa Des Orangers

Select an image to see larger

Originally a traditional Moroccan house, or riad, this luxury Relais & Châteaux property is in the heart of the medina in Marrakech, between the royal palace and the hubbub of Djemaa el Fna square. Enter through an immense traditional wooden door into a sanctum of cool courtyards, tiled terraces, palm trees and softly bubbling water fountains. Every room and suite has its own distinct character with carefully picked furnishings and original riad features. Take a dip in the inviting swimming pool, rejuvenate in customary Moroccan style in the hammam and dine alfresco beneath the scented orange trees or inside by a roaring fire. In summary, this hotel combines all those characteristics that are so hard to find: authentic character with luxury hotel service, and a tranquil atmosphere with all the activity of a Moroccan medina right on your doorstep.

Meals at the Villa des Orangers are an elegant, gourmet affair combining robust Mediterranean flavours and refined French flair with the zest and spice of Morocco. Dine alfresco by the pool, shaded by the orange trees during the day and lit by candlelight at night. On cool evenings, eat in one of the wood-paneled sitting rooms in front of a roaring fire. Produce used in the restaurant is mostly sourced from local artisans or homemade while fresh fish is bought daily by the chef from the fishing boats. The hotel’s bar is open 24-hours a day.
