Dar Les Cigognes

Located in the Mellah (the old Jewish quarter in the heart of Marrakech's famous medina), Dar Les Cigognes is named 'House of Storks' after the graceful birds which perch on the ramparts of the Royal Palace of Hassan II directly opposite the hotel.

Offering a total of 11 bedrooms, including one suite, Dar Les Cigognes is an elegant and luxurious retreat which reflects the many facets of the rich cultural and artistic traditions of Moorish art and architecture. Each of the hotel's bedrooms has its own design theme, inspired by Moorish decorative techniques. Massive carved wooden doors (between connecting archways adorned with hand painted frescoes), allow some of the bedrooms to double as larger 2-bed apartments. Combined with this is a careful attention to privacy: public rooms are numerous enough to allow all guests their own quiet space.

Food and cuisine are an important part of any trip to Morocco. Dar Les Cigognes recognises this and the kitchen is open for guests to enter as they please. Here they can learn how to prepare some of the many delicacies served throughout the day, from toothsome pastries to traditional Moroccan dishes. The dinner menu changes daily, based on what is best in the market.

At Dar Les Cigognes the hammam can be booked, exclusively, by guests. Here is a changing room with shower, leading into the red marble hammam with Jacuzzi.

In addition there is the Fassi Beauty Spa, a stunning salon with high, arching ceilings bejewelled with coloured glass and adorned with a giant hanging lamp. The room is rich in carved plaster, providing a spectacular setting for the massages and local essential oil treatments on offer.
