The Villa des Orangers is an intimate haven of peace located near the bustling souks of Marrakech with 27 rooms and suites arranged on two levels around three verdant open-sky patios with water fountains surrounded by galleries of chiseled plaster and a garden. The Villa des Orangers is a riad, it is a traditional Moroccan townhouse built round a courtyard. Riads are usually constructed on different stories not necessarily floors and therefore have many stairs and no lift. The Villa des Orangers makes no exception to this tradition and most of the rooms and suites have stepsto go up to the bedroom as is the case for duplex suites, or to the bathroom as in one of the deluxe rooms, but also in all rooms and suites with a rooftop terrace or balcony. The hotel has three swimming pools: a rooftop one with a nice view of the nearby Koutoubia mosque and the Atlas Mountains; a large swimming pool situated in the garden and a small one in the private riad, which has two suites and a solarium.There are also three lounges with fireplaces, two dining rooms, three massage cabins, a Moroccan traditional hammam, a beauty centre, a fitness club and a decoration boutique. Free wireless internet connection is available in the lounges and courtyards.
Perched on a hillside at the foot of the magnificent Atlas mountains, with orange trees and olive groves dappling the Ourika valley beneath it, this Berber style country house hotel is the perfect contrast to the busy streets of Marrakech.
