A REAL SANCTUARY OF TRANQUILLITY
You’ll find this legendary riad-hotel, a real sanctuary of tranquillity, in the heart of the ancient medina of Marrakech.
Originally established in the 1940s as a fine dining Moroccan restaurant, the property was bought by Count Ruspoli in 1997 and transformed into the city’s first boutique riad hotel. Royalties and dignitaries alike have graced La Maison Arabe, which today comprises multiple courtyards and a large subterranean hammam spa. Just 10 minutes away by complimentary shuttle, the hotel’s Country Club boasts a golf course and an outdoor pool set in a lush garden planted with roses, olive and fig trees.
The 37 immaculate rooms and suites reflect the history of the house with authentic period craftsmanship alongside private terraces and open fireplaces. Bathrooms are beautifully crafted from Moroccan marble and granite. There are three exquisite restaurants serving French, Asian and Moroccan delicacies, a piano-jazz bar and a world-famous cooking school where you can learn to recreate local dishes.
