Maison MK

Marrakech, Morocco

The owner of Maison MK is a former fashion photographer, and he’s certainly used his eye for design to this delightfully curvy Medina riad, fusing traditional Maroc materials and motifs to create a warm, modern minimalism, with printed silk artwork, swathes of colourful hanging fabric, and a striking teardrop plunge pool.

Food and drink at Maison MK

• Hotel restaurant

  Five-course Moroccan/European fusion meals are served in the warm, lounge-like dining room. The terracotta walls are inscribed with ornate Arabic calligraphy, chairs are upholstered in white leather, and colourful banquettes line the walls.

• Dress code Laid-back loungewear – your newly purchased djellaba would be perfect.
• Top table Couples in search of an intimate soirée should book the private dining table at the far end of the restaurant – it’s curtained off from the rest of the room, beneath a shining golden ceiling.
• Last orders The restaurant normally closes at 9pm, but lighter snacks are available after hours.
• Room service Meals and snacks can be brought to your room – or to the roof terrace – 24 hours a day.
• Hotel bar

  You can drink anywhere in the riad, whether it’s a freshly ground coffee, a bottle of Château Lafite or a 30-year-old single malt. We love the three-tier roof terrace, for its amazing views, bar, fire pit, and the sunken lounge beside the fireplace.
