SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

LA MAISON ARABE, MARRAKECH

Luxurious riad hotel set in the authentic Bab Doukkala neighbourhood.

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.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
