The interiors include Berber rugs, antique furniture, and silk-sofas, reflecting a classic Marrakshi home.

Breakfast includes homemade pastries, yogurt, eggs, and pancakes on the rooftop terrace. Guests can dine in Moroccan salons or the courtyard with live Gnawa music.

Pool and Spa

The outdoor pool is set in a tiled patio. A sauna and steam bath are available. The rooftop terrace has loungers, cacti, and potted plants, offering views over the Medina.
