LES BORJS DE LA KASBAH

In the Kasbah quarter of the Marrakech médina, easily accessible by taxi, minibus and horse-drawn calèche and only yards from the Royal Palace, Les Borjs de la Kasbah is a newly-created boutique hotel developed over a period of four years from a complex of six small town houses and one riad by its Franco-British owners and their young Moroccan architect.The hotel opened in December 2006 and the Spa in July 2007.
On entering this haven of calm you will be struck by the atmosphere of contemporary refinement and arabo-moorish charm, the whole contrasting sharply with the frenetic activity of the thronged medina beyond its walls.
Created entirely by local craftsmen, our small hotel has been designed to reflect the traditional architectural style of a Moroccan riad in which geometric symmetry, intricate plaster decoration, wrought ironwork, colourful floor tiles (bejmat) and tadelakt wall coatings (polished lime-based plaster tinted in warm shades) feature prominently.
