Dar Darma
Getting there
- Planes Marrakech’s Menara Airport is 6km from the city centre. Get there from the UK and other hubs in Europe with British Airways (www.ba.com) or Royal Air Maroc (www.royalairmaroc.com). Taxis from the airport take 20 minutes and will cost around €12 – make sure you agree a price before setting off to avoid being overcharged.
- Trains The Moroccan state railway, ONCF (www.oncf.ma), runs inexpensive (but limited) services to Marrakech from Casablanca, Fez and Tangier. Look for TCR (Train Climatisé Rapide) trains to guarantee air-conditioning in summer. You’ll find plenty of taxis waiting at the city’s charming, if slightly dilapidated, station on Avenue Hassan II.
- Automobiles Driving is not recommended in the congested centre of Marrakech and parking around the hotel can be very difficult. If you do want to hire a car, Europcar (www.europcar), Avis (www.avis.com) and Hertz (www.hertz.com) have desks at the airport. To reach the hotel, follow Avenue de la Menara into the city.
