La Villa Des Orangers  

In the heart of Marrakech’s medina, a short stroll from Jemaa el-Fna and at the foot of the Koutoubia. This 5-star riad sits near the Saadian Tombs and Kasbah Mosque. Menara Airport is about 8 km away (roughly a 15-minute drive).

An intimate riad-style hideaway with about 30 rooms and suites arranged around three verdant open-air patios with water fountains and carved plaster galleries. Rooms and suites offer private furnished balconies or patios, minibars, flat-screen TVs, and bathrooms with separate tubs and showers. A rooftop terrace and pool serve up direct views of the Koutoubia and the Atlas Mountains. Expect classic Moroccan décor, fireplaces in several lounges, a private riad with two suites and a solarium, a boutique and a small movie theater.

Three outdoor pools—an intimate rooftop pool with minaret and mountain views, a heated 16-m garden pool, and a private riad pool with solarium—plus poolside lounges and a rooftop terrace. A full spa area with hammam and massage cabins, a beauty center and a fitness club keep the pampering real. There’s also a bar with a fireside setting, multiple lounges, boutique shopping and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Children welcome from age 12; pets are not allowed. Guarded parking is available for a small fee.

A business center and complimentary Wi‑Fi make working on the road easy. Concierge services, dry cleaning and a complimentary roundtrip airport shuttle (on request) add practical convenience.

Two on-site restaurants serve Mediterranean and authentic Moroccan cuisine. Breakfast is à la carte and a light lunch is offered between 12:00 and 15:00. Dine by the pool, in the courtyards, on the rooftop terrace or in the garden. There’s a cozy bar with fireplace seating, candlelit dinners with traditional music and limited room service.
