Dar Les Cigognes is the epitome of trendy boutique hotels that are so popular in Marrakech at the minute. Two riads are imaginatively joined via a walkway. The hotel picks out and replicates the best aspects of traditional riads but doesn’t give in to over-embellishment at any juncture. Tunisian born but Moroccan raised celebrity architect Charles Boccara has designed the entire hotel and his influence is everywhere to be seen.Dar Les Cigognes was once a wealthy merchant's house. It translates literally as ‘the storks’. No wonder storks can easily be spotted circling the skies here. As for the hotel, the rooms are stylish and the complex is trendy yet intimate. There is a well-equipped hammam and spa. If you’re in the mood for some holiday reading, there is a great library at Dar Les Cigognes.
Opt for a room with a working fireplace and don’t leave without participating in a cookery class at Dar Les Cigognes—it offers the perfect introduction to lip-smacking Moroccan food.
