At the foot of the Koutoubia Mosque, between the Royal Palace and bustling Jemaa El Fna Square, the Villa des Orangers in Marrakesh opens up to you like a jewel of serene, quiet living. Its authenticity, refined atmosphere, and harmony of shimmering colors, elegant fabrics, and sculptured wood give it a unique charm. The Villa des Orangers, the kind of structure commonly found in the medina quarter, is a riad, a traditional Moroccan house with an interior courtyard. It was built in the 1930s for a prominent person who lived in the home until 1998. This rich-looking riad was remodelled into a magnificent hotel and has been a Relais et Châteaux member property since 2001. It took the city’s finest craft workers nine months to complete the renovation work, fully respecting local traditions. They made the Villa des Orangers a luxury establishment, one that blends authenticity and modern comfort and is a perfect reflection of the spirit of Moroccan culture.
