Dar Les Cigognes

About Dar Les Cigognes

Close Panel

Meaning '‘House of Storks'', the Dar Les Cigognes is located next to the Royal Palace. It is a Marrakesh riad which oozes tranquillity.

The original 17th Century exterior walls remain intact, whilst the interior has been painstakingly re-decorated by its owners. They have used traditional techniques, following designs drawn up by one of Morocco''s top architects, -Charles Boccara.

The result is a hotel with delightfully different rooms: the Harem Room is draped in rich red velvet, the Berber Room is peppered with Berber crafts and accessories, while the Casablanca Room is Art Deco.

There are 10 rooms, 2 courtyards, a dining room, a fantastic rooftop terrace, traditional hammam, beauty spa, and library.

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £200 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). We offer flights with Royal Air Maroc which has daily flights to Marrakech as well as good connections to other cities.

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
