La Villa des Orangers, Hotel and French restaurant in the medina of Marrakech, Morocco
La Villa des Orangers hides behind a carved wooden door in the busy medina, offering a peaceful retreat where interior courtyards decorated with fountains and green gardens create a calm space far from the noise outside.
This place consists of two early 20th-century residences that were carefully restored into a luxury hotel while keeping their historic charm and traditional Moroccan architecture with thick walls and ornate details throughout the property.
The hotel celebrates Moroccan heritage through its plaster carvings, handcrafted wooden furniture and a restaurant serving local flavors prepared with fresh ingredients sourced from nearby markets, reflecting the rich culinary traditions of the region.
Located on Rue Sidi Mimoun near the Koutoubia Mosque and Jemaa El Fna square, the hotel offers a heated swimming pool open all year, a spa with traditional treatments, and check-in after 3 pm with checkout before noon.
From the rooftop terrace you can watch the sunset over the medina's rooftops with the snowy Atlas Mountains in the distance (around 40 miles or 65 kilometers away), while the air is filled with the scent of jasmine and orange blossoms from the gardens below.
