La Maison Arabe

Since opening in 1946, La Maison Arabe has achieved a legendary status in Marrakech. Ideally situated in the Medina, the hotel includes 26 rooms and suites, most with private terraces and fireplaces, which are unique in layout and refined decoration. All are air conditioned and centrally heated, and include a mini-bar, safe, satellite television and WIFI internet access. The bathrooms, designed using Moroccan marble and granite, are at the highest level of international luxury hotel standards.

Guests at La Maison Arabe have a choice of swimming pools. One can relax at either the heated pool in the hotel’s garden patio, or at the pool located at our spectacular Country Club, 15 minutes away by complimentary shuttle. Walking through the hotel’s flower-filled patios, one can admire the traditional Moroccan craftsmanship (tadelakt walls, chiseled plaster, cedar wood ceilings) that has created a refined, exotic and serene atmosphere for our guests.

The brand new Wellness Center at La Maison Arabe includes two hammams (traditional Moorish steam baths) and five massage rooms (four single and one double). Here one can relax and experience a traditional Moroccan massage using natural products specially made for La Maison Arabe using natural products from the region. Facials, manicures and pedicures are also available to complement the relaxing effect of the hammam.

Le Domaine Malika
Ouirgane, Morocco
Nestled in a large valley abundant in pine trees and olive groves, surrounded by the peaks of the High Atlas mountains and bordering Toubkal national park, Domaine Malika is an authentic luxury boutique hotel in exceptional Ouirgane, just one hour from the Medina of Marrakech.

This charming guest house offers seven modern rooms and suites boasting a beautiful decor and a warm atmosphere. Each accommodation uniquely combines space, charm and comfort.

One of the goals of the Domaine Malika guest house is to offer a gastronomic table d’hôte menu representative of Morocco, a country full of contrast with multiple influences.

The chefs will seduce guests with their creative and surprising cuisine which harmoniously blends tradition and modernity. Vegetables from the garden, fruit from the orchard and local products from the nearby souks are brought to your plates to enhance their flavors.

Food enthusiasts will have the opportunity to take a cooking class to discover Moroccan culinary secrets such as spiced cream of beetroot, quails with cornmeal and almond stuffing or honeyed cream with lavender and saffron.

Heure Bleue Palais
Essaouira, Morocco
A gracious, deluxe hotel in the city of Essaouira, Heure Bleue Palais offers the refined elegance of an international property coupled with traditional North African charm. Reflecting influences of Africa, Europe and the Orient, the thirty three rooms and suites evoke the romance of traveling to faraway places. Their design and décor conjure up notions of Africa, the Kingdom of the Moors, Portugal and the sea ports of the British Empire. Guests at Heure Bleue Palais invariably enhance their hotel experience by taking advantage of traditional Moroccan wellness treatments known for their beauty and revitalization benefits. Central to this experience is a complete hammam session, which allows you to enter the heart of the bathing tradition of Morocco: Hammam – exfoliation with black soap and eucalyptus, – a purifying wrap with rhassoul, and traditional massage with Argan oil.
