UNIQUE Travel Experience at this 5 STAR HOTEL in Marrakesh - LUXURY TRAVEL DESTINATION
Owner Fabrizio Ruspoli created this small hotel for those craving old-fashioned charm. The hotel artfully blends Moorish and European design (note the Italianate reading room), and each of the four courtyards offers grandeur on an intimate scale. Rooms are small and staunchly Arabian, but are well appointed and air-conditioned. Many suites cover two or three levels. In the medina near Bab Doukkala, the house was once a famous restaurant, the first to serve Moroccan cuisine to such European notables as Winston Churchill. Breakfast and afternoon tea are complimentary, and the service is excellent.
La Maison Arabe is a traditional riad in Marrakesh, ideally situated in the Medina, a stone's throw from the Mosque of Bab Doukkala and Dar El Bacha. This stylish and intimate luxury hotel unites enchanting architecture with inviting interiors, and is 5km from the city's Menara Airport.
La Maison Arabe is home to an outdoor hotel swimming pool that sits surrounded by olive trees and roses, and guests are also invited to use the expansive shimmering pool at the hotel's nearby Country Club. After a day discovering the city and enjoying a luxurious massage and facial at the sublime spa, guests are enticed into the Piano Bar for an aperitif, encouraged at a cookery class and tempted by Moroccan cuisine at Le Restaurant.
At La Maison Arabe, the refined guestrooms are set around two flower-adorned patios. Each room is unique in style and decor, adorned with antiques, ancient artwork, carpets and precious fabrics, and many boast private terraces or balconies.
Italian aristocrat Fabrizio Ruspoli was ahead of time when he bought the property and oversaw three years of renovations to transform it into a chic riad. Now it's grown to 26 rooms (most with fireplaces and private terraces) in two buildings that flank a serene swimming pool.
That size is precisely its selling point, and why a night here (from $200) costs considerably more than at most of those other riads. La Maison Arabe lands perfectly in the sweet spot between riad and hotel.
Whereas a seven-room courtyard hotel can feel overly intimate, here there are plenty of glamorous nooks and flower-filled courtyards to hide out in, a gorgeous spa, and a staff that's better suited to a small (or for that matter, large) hotel than a guest house. When I stayed (as Ruspoli's guest) a concierge reorganized my flights, an IT guy connected me to the flaky Moroccan Wi-Fi after midnight, and nearly everyone spoke fluent English—something I didn't even find at the Four Seasons.
Despite the polish, it's decidedly not an international hotel. It has charm, old-school elegance, and history you won't get in the city's flashy nouveau (or newly redone) palace hotels. Its oldest part debuted in 1946 as the first restaurant open to foreigners—Winston Churchill always got the corner table, and Charles de Gaulle and Jackie Kennedy dined here too. forbes rich list London luxury shopping billionaire millionaire Monaco super rich private jet yacht entertainment luxs report us usa America uk London executive Donald trump elite executive arab ceo forbes Europe vip money lil wayne travel 5 star hotel super car bugatti Lamborghini Ferrari Porsche 2014 2015 luxury get rich gambling investment Beverly Hills Malibu Miami positive thinking super yacht mega yacht playboy mansion luxury lifestyle mansion Best of the best most luxurious hotel most expensive hotel Marrakesh Morocco la maison arabe restaurant Ruspoli decorated it with furnishings and metalwork from the city's best artisans but reined in what he calls the tyranny of Morocco by leavening them with Rajasthani wall hangings and antique Chinese doors, and the clubby jazz bar has a 1930s colonial feel.
And it has a better location—in the heart of the medina, a short stroll from the central Jemaa el Fna square and souks that probably drew you to Marrakech in the first place. (Best of both worlds again: It has Private Garden club in the Palmeraie, a 15-minute shuttle away, in case you're craving a quiet afternoon in a desert oasis.)

Cooking Class At La Maison Arabe
A cooking class usually starts with a comprehensive introduction that highlights the
importance of cooking in Moroccan society, and reviews the variety of recipes created by
dadas (traditional woman cooks) over the centuries for special occasions such as marriages,
holy days, and circumcisions.
We then proceed to an overview of the most traditional recipes such as pastilla, couscous, and
the broad variety of tajines (stews usually made with lamb or chicken), while reviewing some
of the basic pillars of Moroccan cuisine:
Spices: The core spices used in Moroccan cuisine include ginger, saffron, cumin, ras el hanout (a
mixture of up to 35 different spices), as well as salt and pepper. Olive oil, of which there is an
abundance in Morocco, is also an essential ingredient in the local cuisine, as well as ghi (a kind of
aged butter).
Herbs: Most Moroccan recipes use parsley and coriander. Other important herbs such as thyme,
oregano, bay leaf, and basil are used depending on the recipe being prepared.
Mode of cooking: Traditionally, Moroccan homes used charcoal and clay pots to cook tajines or
couscous. Modern Moroccan homes of course use the same gas or electric ranges found in
European or American homes. The cooking workshops at La Maison Arabe are conducted using
modern equipment, so that the participants can easily prepare the dishes they have learned once
they have returned to their own countries.
Cooking techniques: A typical tajine recipe calls for searing the meat, softening the onions,
bringing to a boil and allowing to slowly simmer. This results in a reduced, thick sauce.
Finally, before the practical part of the cooking class begins, the participants are
acquainted with the recipe of the day, whether it’s a chicken tajine with olives and
preserved lemons, couscous or pastilla, and review the various vegetables and ingredients
that will be used. The group then visits a nearby spice market and communal bread oven,
where neighborhood families bake their bread.
The cooking classes at La Maison Arabe are structured around traditional recipes. Each
participant works alongside the dada at has his or her own workstation and equipment,
and follows step-by-step the preparing of that day’s meal. In a typical workshop, one
learns how to make a main course as well as a Moroccan appetizer or salad (for example,
eggplant or roasted green peppers with tomatoes).
When the class has finished, it’s time to savor the result of one’s labor. The participants
enjoy the meal they’ve prepared, in the cool shade of an olive tree by the hotel’s pool.
Wine lovers can enjoy optional Moroccan wine pairings to accompany the various
courses.
It’s been the job of the dada and translator to make sure that everyone has enjoyed
themselves and learned a great deal about Moroccan cuisine and culture. Bon appétit!

Morocco’s best-kept secret
Perched 50 metres about the valley and with nine rooms (five twin, two double and two family rooms) and two suites, the guesthouse can accommodate several guests while respecting the natural berber environment. The house was built in a traditional style, but one where authenticity meets modernity. Common spaces invite travellers to gather to share tales and local staff shares their culture through music, food and dance. Meanwhile natural light floods the salon through the arcades giving on to the terrace overlooking the valley. Mint tea flows freely and it’s not uncommon to see guests rolling up their sleeves and learning a thing or two from the dada in the kitchen that opens on to the dining room.
Touda aims to provide an authentic experience for the seasoned traveler through local experiences such as the valley, the poeple, music, food and activities both indoor and outdoor.
Touda EcoLodge is a perfect place to disconnect and unwind. The lodge invites guests to feel at home with a relaxed atmohsphere while providing comfort and convenience. Meanwhile, the numerous trecks, hikes and outdoor activities will keep you entertained and stimulated. Especially in the spring/summer/autumn it is also a suitable place for yoga at the terrace, where you may find yourself isolated in beautiful surroundings.
Said Marghadi, owner of Touda EcoLodge says that, “There are mountains everywhere, but the cross-cultural exchanges possible here in the valley are unique” and at his eco-friendly guesthouse overlooking the vast valley, local staff shares their culture through music, food and dance. A wander through the valley and guests often report on exchanges with friendly locals who invite them to stop for tea, children who are keen to say hello, and peak in to the local culture.

It is music from the streets, homes, marketplace and desert. Profound, mystical, compelling, entrancing… the entire album is a journey through the heart and soul of Marrakesh. It pays homage to the spiritual music and songs of urban and rural Morocco.

Lyrics:
Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten Million ways to love somebody
Le ro lo le lo le, Le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
