A beautiful hotel - exquisitely furnished and decorated, spotlessly clean and always comfortable. A good location approximately 10 minutes walk to Djemaa el-Fna (once you figure out the best way!) and convenient for the Nouvelle Ville, Souks, and plenty of taxis passing nearby. The staff were brilliant and could not do enough to help - always polite, friendly and approachable. I was even offered a herbal tea 'concoction' when they heard I was suffering from tummy troubles! We were given a free upgrade to a suite for our final two nights on account of it being our Honeymoon; both rooms were excellent.
Breakfast is a feast with a delicious and wide selection, highlights being the fantastic home made yoghurt and made-to-order Moroccan pancakes!
We used the hotel's other leisure facilities which are a 20 minute (free) shuttle transfer away on the city outskirts. A nice place to relax, with big comfy beds and a large (but cold!) pool and light snacks available.
We only dined once at the hotel's Moroccan restaurant but had a fantastic meal, including the biggest fall-off-the-bone shoulder of lamb you will ever see! It was not a cheap option, but for a special meal definitely value for money. The restaurant has got the ambience spot-on, and the lute/guitar musicians playing background music added a real special touch.
The hotel has a number of informal seating areas which are lovely places for reading a book, drinking afternoon tea or having early evening drinks. We also used the hotel pool on a few occasions and found it a lovely way to cool down and relax after a day walking the city!
We took part in the famous cookery class and had great fun cooking Moroccan salads, chicken tagine with preserved lemons and olives, and watching a bread making demonstration with the added bonus of eating the products of our labour for lunch after the session!
All-in-all, we had a memorable stay at a fantastic hotel, and would recommend to all who are looking for a top class place to stay when in Marrakech.

Our first time to Marrakech and we loved i! The hotel was incredible and from the minute we arrived we were blown away. The hotel's entrance is down a plain alley but once inside the hotel is stunning. There are lots of different rooms and levels and all exquisitely decorated. We had a patio suite in the old part of the building which formed an L shape room overlooking one of the pretty courtyards with two beds in the living area for the children. The service in the the hotel is second to none and our every need was catered for including simpler dining options for our 8-year old, arranging excursions to the Atlas Mountains, guides for the Medina and Souks as well as restaurant recommendations and travel arrangements. The food too is excellent, we enjoyed the International restaurant and whilst venturing out to several other good restaurants in the city we found that the hotel's food and setting were hard to beat. Breakfast too was delicious with homemade yogurts, fresh fruit salad, pastries and pancakes/eggs cooked to order. In addition the Jazz bar was like stepping back in time to the 30s whilst the Country Club, a short bus ride out of town was an oasis of calm and relaxation in a very busy city. We also did the cooking course at the hotel with our 12-year old daughter which was also excellent fun. The staff though are what makes this hotel so unique, they are so warm and willing to make your stay very special. We really felt very fond of them after our week's stay and certainly regarded the hotel as "home" whilst we were in Morocco.

We are just back from a truly lovely and relaxing vacation in Marrakech with our two boys ages 10 and 11. I was expecting something "adventurous" and maybe a bit overwhelming at times, but the trip was relaxed and wonderful from start to finish. We spent our first few days in the mountains before coming into the city to la Maison Arabe. We were met with exceptional service and friendliness. This hotel seems to have thought of everything. There are numerous quiet corners in which to relax, curl up with a book, or enjoy the sunshine. Our boys swam every day in the heated pool and we also went out to the "country club," a 15 minute drive from the hotel, one day to swim in that larger (unheated) pool. Our room for the first 2 nights was the Royal Suite and it was unbelievable, with a private roof deck with jacuzzi tub (!!) and huge luxurious spaces. The second two nights we were in 2 smaller rooms, also lovely, which shared a sunny outdoor courtyard.
The food at this hotel was fantastic - we ate twice at the "traditional" dining room and once in the other one. We didn't want to worry about food safety, esp with children, so we stuck to the hotel food. Our last day we did the cooking class which was terrific and fun.
I can't say enough about the quality of the service at this hotel. Staff were uniformly friendly and helpful, without being annoyingly overattentive. We all felt completely at home here.
The location of the hotel is also excellent - walking distance to the large market area as well as the Marjorin gardens.

Room tip: If you can afford the Royal Suite, it's well worth the cost. Heavenly!! But, our other rooms (a jr suite and regular room) were also really lovely and I suspect you can't go wrong here!

I have been to Marrakech now 3 times and love it. After visiting with my husband for the second time; I decided to take my sister from the United States who had never previously held a passport. We did a girls weekend here from Europe.

La Maison Arabe is the total package for a vacation destination - close to the adventure of the medina (market). No need for a car and I recommend you don't get one. Just take taxi or arrange for pick-up thru the hotel. The staff are all amazing and willing to assist their guests. The hotel's pools are refreshing and enjoyable to just look at. There are two: on property and another in the gardens which is accessible by courtesy transportation. The pool in the riad is refreshing after a day of negotiations in the market place. The spa...oh la la how wonderful. I went for the hammam and massage with my sister and we had a totally rejuvenating 2+ hours. It was hard to prepare for dinner within the property. They have at least 3 places to eat. We needed more time to enjoy all of them and couldn't even fit in the totally professional cooking classes ;-( Gotta go back.

This gorgeous riad/boutique hotel is 10 minutes from the central piazza, down an unlikely looking back street, is an ideal setting from which to discover Marrakech. The service is first class as is the attention to detail. The building itself is quite stunning and the 2 restaurants offer fine dining opportunities.

Room tip: The garden suite overlooking the pool was quite exquisite
