Dar Les Cigognes
Style Designer riad
Setting Neighbouring the Royal Palace
Once a wealthy merchant's house opposite the palace in Marrakech, boutique hotels don't come more stylish and intimate than Dar Les Cigognes. Behind a discreet door in the medina quarter, with the help of celebrity architect Charles Boccara, the owners of Dar Les Cigognes have turned two riads into a boutique hotel. Dar Les Cigognes translates as 'the storks' in French, as you can see them circling the skies.

Lovely. The riad staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Must have a hamman followed by a massage, also the meatballs for lunch are incredible. Very peaceful and beautiful views...
