Villa des Orangers

Marrakesh

The Scent of Orange Blossoms

The 5-star Villa des Orangers Relais & Châteaux hotel is a little gem at the gateway to Marrakesh’s medina. Situated between the royal palace and vibrant Jemaa El Fnaa square, it is near Marrakesh’s landmark, the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque. The riad’s architecture and interior design are a stylish mix of the modern and traditional: furnishings with elegant, clean lines create a thrilling contrast to rounded arches and pillars with Moorish ornamentation. The courtyards, each a green oasis, provide a place to escape from the hustle and bustle. Meanwhile, the roof terrace offers breathtaking views across the medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Villa des Orangers

Villa des Orangers

The Villa des Orangers hotel began life in the 1930s, a splendid riad built for a well-heeled judge who lived there until 1998. The current owners converted it into an elegant hotel, commissioning the city’s best craftspeople to renovate the riad and add a new lustre in keeping with local traditions. The Villa des Orangers has been a member of the Relais & Châteaux association since 2001. This traditional Moroccan building, with courtyards typical of the medina quarter, is now a luxury hotel that combines authenticity with modern comfort and perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Moroccan culture.

The Villa des Orangers has 30 rooms and suites grouped around courtyards with greenery, fountains and swimming pools. The suites on the first floor have private terraces with a view of the medina. From the roof terrace, visitors can look out over the old town and the Koutoubia Mosque – Marrakesh’s largest mosque dating from the 12th century – all the way to the Atlas Mountains.

  • Breakfast by the pool under the orange trees
  • Guided tour of the medina’s most beautiful alleys
  • Stroll through the Jardin des Arts
  • A light lunch in the La Villa des Orangers restaurant
  • Follow in the footsteps of a fashion icon at the Yves Saint Laurent Museum
  • Relax in the Ec(h)o Spa with a Gemology treatment
  • Candlelight dinner inspired by French and Mediterranean cuisine

The 30 rooms and suites at the 5-star Villa des Orangers Relais & Châteaux hotel are individually designed with a keen eye for detail, each exuding a very special charm. The rooms are fitted with air conditioning/heating, a TV, minibar, safe, telephone, free internet access, a hairdryer and a bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower.

The deluxe rooms (approx. 15–18sqm) surround the small courtyard or are situated on the first floor overlooking the courtyard. The terrace rooms on the first floor are the same size and, in addition to all these amenities, also have a small roof terrace that provides views of the medina or the imposing Atlas Mountains.
Some of the spacious junior suites (approx. 23–40sqm) are split across two floors.

The ‘Cocoon’ suite (approx. 30–40sqm) also features a cosy terrace, while the ‘Intemporelle’ terrace suite has the same amenities as the other rooms but is even more spacious, spread over 40–50sqm. The private riad comes with its own swimming pool.

The Villa des Orangers has one of the best restaurants in the city, serving Moroccan and Mediterranean specialities. You can also take your meals elsewhere in the hotel – getting cosy by the fire in one of the lounges, shaded by the orange trees in the traditional courtyard, or by candlelight by the pool. And with an ample continental breakfast that you can enjoy in your room, on your private terrace or in one of the lounges, the hotel ensures that no culinary desire is left unfulfilled.
Take a refreshing dip in the three swimming pools, two of which are heated in the cooler months: one can be found in the courtyard of the riad, another on the roof terrace with a view of the medina.

Let yourself be truly pampered in the 60sqm traditional Moroccan hammam with typical treatments featuring rose water or black soap. Relax with a massage in the hotel’s Nuxe Spa. You can also enjoy numerous facial treatments in the Villa des Orangers beauty salon, featuring products from Gemology Cosmetics Paris.

Visit La Palmeraie, Marrakesh’s oasis with over 100,000 palm trees, some of them more than 1,000 years’ old. You could also go trekking in the mighty Atlas Mountains.
