El Fenn

The story of El Fenn is a captivating tale that intertwines history, art, and passion. Originally conceived as a private residence in the 19th century, this majestic property in Marrakesh’s historic Medina was transformed into a boutique hotel in 2004 by Vanessa Branson, Howell James, and Willem Smit. Inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Morocco and the allure of Marrakesh, the trio embarked on a journey to create a sanctuary where luxury and authenticity converge seamlessly. El Fenn quickly became a haven for artists, intellectuals, and travellers seeking refuge from the bustling streets of the Medina.

Over the years, the hotel has undergone meticulous renovations and expansions, each phase adding to its allure and charm. Today, El Fenn stands as a testament to the vision and dedication of its founders, offering guests an unparalleled experience that celebrates the spirit of Marrakesh and the timeless beauty of Moroccan hospitality. From its stunning architecture to its vibrant interiors and impeccable service, El Fenn continues to enchant and inspire all who step through its doors, inviting them to become part of its storied legacy.

  • Start the day with sunrise yoga on the rooftop
  • Dive into one of the three swimming pools
  • Visit Majorelle Garden, which is named after its creator Jacques Majorelle and was later purchased by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent in 1980, it is among one of Marrakech’s most famous Gardens
  • Learn about fashion at the Yves Saint-Laurent-Museum, an impressive museum that provides a fascinating look into one man’s creative fashion-focused mind
  • Return to the hotel for dinner and cocktails

41 rooms and suites. No two rooms are the same at El Fenn. Some are hot pink, others are teal. Some have hand-stitched camel leather floors, others have hand-mixed lime plaster walls. But they all share our signature style: a blend of mid-century European furniture with the iconic elements of Moroccan design including hand-carved plasterwork & cedar wood ceilings. Also on the list are oversized bathtubs, soft cotton sheets and the finest mattresses.

The emphasis is on local, seasonal plant-based food – with meat and fish available too. Each dish is made with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables from local farms and markets, combined with the bright herbs, exotic spices and fragrant aromatics. It’s fresh, flavourful & packed full of goodness.

The Colonnade Cafe is a magnificent space reserved for in-house guests. Open for our signature breakfast and lunch each day, residents can enjoy the stunning backdrop of a courtyard filled with tumbling vines & our beautiful marble-line swimming pool. Newly opened for October 22, the cafe comes alive for Moroccan themed nights from Wednesday to Sunday serving authentic cuisine, including tagines, grilled fish and meats accompanied by our fresh salads, showcasing the best local, seasonal produce. Booking is essential for guests as everything is cooked to order.

Open for meals, snacks & drinks every day. Non-residents are welcome to visit the rooftop restaurant where lunch and dinner are served daily, as well as the bar which serves cocktails, juices, light meals and tapas throughout the day and evening.

Experience a range of treatments and therapies, from deeply relaxing massages and intensely hydrating facials to the traditional Morrocan hammam. The spa treatments use a Moroccan beauty brand – Maison D’Asa – that harnesses all the power of the rich – and diverse – plants found here including orange blossom, lavender and verveine, as well as super oils such as argan and prickly pear. Every ingredient is carefully selected for its benefits – from antioxidant properties to perfumes to envelop the senses.

Allow our guide to give you a tour of the medina – they’ll help you find the best stalls and teach you how to haggle!

A relaxing stay in the Medina! Experience authentic Marrakesh but with all the luxuries of El Fenn.
