Hotel and restaurant in town. Just footsteps away from Koutoubia Mosque, and mid-way between the Royal Palace and Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, La Villa des Orangers unfurls with flower-filled patios, peaceful ponds and fragrant citrus gardens. Behind its high ochre walls, this tastefully renovated former private residence represents Moroccan art de vivre at its most refined.

After a day exploring the souks, the elegant 2,700-square-foot/250-square-meter spa invites you to relax with its vast hammam and expert treatments inspired by exotic rituals.
