Description: Dar Les CigognesFor centuries, a discreet door opposite the gates to Marrakech's Royal Palace led to a wealthy merchant's home. Today, behind that door, with the help of celebrity architect Charles Boccara, two Riads have been transformed into this boutique hotel called Dar Les Cigognes. A Riad is a traditional Arab house, traditionally an interior world, which is built around a courtyard with fruit trees and a fountain.Refined elegance and style are the hallmarks of this luxury hotel with all the comfort and calm you would expect from a luxury boutique hotel, as well as the chic and charm of Moroccan style and fashion. Each room is unique, drawing on the rich cultural heritage of Moorish art and décor. The beds and bathrooms have been designed with the highest level of well-being in mind, and friendly and attentive service will make you feel at home. Located in the heart of the old town of Marrakech (the medina) with parking and many of the important sites only a few steps away, it is an excellent base for exploring the city.
