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.

The riads of Marrakech are old Moroccan houses turned into places to stay. Built around a central courtyard, these traditional buildings hide behind quiet doors in the streets of the medina. They often have a pool, a fountain, or a inner garden, and a roof terrace that offers views of the city and sometimes the Atlas Mountains in the distance. These places blend local architecture with modern comfort. Some date back to the 18th or 19th century and keep their original decoration with colorful tiles, carved wood, and painted ceilings. Others add modern touches like stylish lounges or wellness areas with a hammam. Most are just a few minutes walk from Djemaa El Fna square and the old city markets.
