La Maison Arabe
In the heart of Marrakech’s medina, La Maison Arabe is a refined hotel with 26 rooms, including 14 suites. Luxury is expressed everywhere with taste and discretion, and the hotel’s architectural style brilliantly blends contemporary forms with local identity. An ideal spot for an overnight stay, spa treatment or dinner.

THE HOTEL
The hotel, designed by Fabrizio Ruspoli, is built around two patios, one with flowers and a fountain, the other with olive trees in the ground and palm trees shading the heated pool with its Berber carpet motif, which becomes like liquid.
Each room is designed as a luxuriously different, i.e., unique, place to live: warmth of furniture and precious fabrics. The freshness of zelliges (small Moroccan tiles) in the bathrooms, forming a surprising and exquisite palette, the elegance of marble or granite. Each with its own decor, they are, in themselves, what can be considered a concentrate of comfort!

THE SPA
The Spa, located in the basement, is a beautifully decorated space with a small pool in the center and a small fountain. There are 2 hammams and 5 massage rooms
Developed by the Arabs from the 7th century onwards, the hammam is known for its health-giving virtues. It diffuses a humid heat that helps to evacuate stress and toxins by sweating. A beautician applies black soap with a kessa, a granular glove. At the end of the session, you’ll leave feeling like a baby. After the treatment, a massage helps you unwind. The Maison Arabe teams have a wealth of expertise. Various treatment packages are available.
The Spa
LE DINER
A corridor adorned with wooden columns with stone capitals, and green marble fountains, leads past the archway of an antique zouakée door (painted with flowers and foliage) to a doubly astonishing place. The room, with a capacity of fifty covers, tangerine and blue, multiplied by the large mirrors, warmed by the wood and tadelakt fireplace and by the carpets on the light marble floor, will welcome the most romantic or the most cheerful diners. Whatever the season: two large French windows open (or close) onto the patio. The menu brings together the splendors of the most authentic Moroccan cuisine. From starters to Moroccan pastries, each dish is prepared with precision and reinvented tradition, using only the finest market produce. Fragrant with spices and herbs, divine and colorful Moroccan salads, original tagines and airy couscous, crisp yet soft pastillas and irresistible pastries.
