La Maison Arabe began as a Moroccan restaurant, founded in the 1940's by two adventurous and extra- ordinary French women. Located in the romantic medina of Marrakech, in the shadow of the Bab Doukkala mosque, it lives on today as an exclusive luxury hotel with 17 rooms and suites, two restaurants, a pool, spa, and cooking school.
Description
The hotel is built around 2 flower-filled patios. In the center of one is a refreshing fountain. In the other, one can relax in the cool shade of an olive tree.
Moroccan craftsmen worked long months restoring this riad (traditional Marrakech house) to its noble origins, using materials and techniques handed down over centuries : walls covered with tadelakt (a coating that is hand-polished with an agate stone), gebs (chiseled plaster), cedar wood ceilings, and floors made of bejmat (small sand-colored bricks). Here and there light filters through cupolas.
Situation
La Maison Arabe is situated near the Bab Doukkala mosque, and is a 5 minute walk from the Jemma El Fna square, the Koutoubia, and the Handicrafts Center.
Restoration
The restaurant at La Maison Arabe is open to hotel guests and other travellers in Marrakech seeking a unique dining experience.
The menu is exclusively Moroccan, without being heavy. One can choose from traditional dishes and delicious specialties of La Maison Arabe.
In this intimate environment, with walls covered in "havana" coloured leather panels, evoking the 1930’s and colonial Africa, the club room at La Maison Arabe welcomes both hotel guests and a broader Marrakech clientele ; here one can savour exotique dishes as well as delicious asian-influenced tapas.
