La Maison Arabe began as a Moroccan restaurant, founded in the 1940's by two adventurous and extra- ordinary French women. Located in the romantic medina of Marrakech, in the shadow of the Bab Doukkala mosque, it lives on today as an exclusive luxury hotel with 17 rooms and suites, two restaurants, a pool, spa, and cooking school. |

The hotel is built around 2 flower-filled patios. In the center of one is a refreshing fountain. In the other, one can relax in the cool shade of an olive tree. Moroccan craftsmen worked long months restoring this riad (traditional Marrakech house) to its noble origins, using materials and techniques handed down over centuries : |

walls covered with tadelakt (a coating that is hand-polished with an agate stone), gebs (chiseled plaster), cedar wood ceilings, and floors made of bejmat (small sand-colored bricks). Here and there light filters through cupolas. |

The swimming pool (18 x 7 meters) is situated in a lush garden, a mere 10 minute shuttle ride from the hotel, and is reserved exclusively for clients of La Maison Arabe.Situated behind high earthen walls, one arrives at the pool after a short walk through luxurious gardens planted with vegetables, roses, olive and fig trees. |

Everywhere one walks in this oasis, one finds the same attention to detail that the owner, Fabrizio Ruspoli, bought to the hotel…antique sculpted cedar doors, or the calm murmering of an 18 th century fountain that invites one to relax and dream Adjoining the swimming pool, the kasbah is available to guests of La Maison Arabe. Its magnificently decorated salon is the perfect setting for a private reception or to celebrate one's birthday. |

The incredible view of Marrakech and the surrounding countryside from the roof of the kasbah offers a romantic background for cocktails or mint tea. La Maison Arabe is situated near the Bab Doukkala mosque, and is a 5 minute walk from the Jemma El Fna square, the Koutoubia, and the Handicrafts Center. |
