La Maison Arabe has a rich history. It emerged in the 1940s as the first restaurant in the medina open to foreigners, and was then lovingly restored in the 1990s to become the first boutique riad-hotel in Marrakech. Past guests include Ernest Hemingway, Rita Hayworth, and Winston Churchill.

La Maison Arabe has gorgeous interiors in sumptuous earth and jewel tones and some of the best service in the city. It also houses a jazz bar, a spa, and an incredible cooking school. Breakfast is included in all stays, and guests can enjoy the best msemen (Moroccan pancakes) in town here.

Additionally, guests have access to a secret country club across the city that has a gorgeous pool and gardens.
