Dar Zemora - Marrakech, Morocco

About this Chic Retreat

Dar Zemora is one of the best small boutique hotels in Marrakech. The 2 luxurious and spacious suites with their four poster beds and private terraces, and 3 elegant rooms are all individually designed. Traditional finishes have been used throughout the hotel such as tadalkt walls, bejmat floors, hand-painted zouak ceilings and doors and moucharabieh woodwork.

What makes this gorgeous small hotel special, however, is the many and beautifully appointed reception rooms. Space to be social or not as the mood dictates. Dar Zemora and Riad Farnatchi make a great combination. From the traditional gatehouse a driveway of olive trees leads you up to the house. After entering the turreted hall you find yourself in an enormous circular domed reception room. Two large sitting rooms lead off this room, both with comfortable armchairs and sofas, and one with a large welcoming fire in winter. For those who really want to retreat there is a cosy library with fireplace and an intricate hand-painted ceiling. The last and most impressive reception room is the airy Fan Room, perfectly named after its shape. It is an inside/outside room where guests can relax during the day or take an aperitif in the evening.
