Dar Les Cigognes

I liked

A really special place to stay when in Marrakech. As the write up says, there are so many places to choose from, so there is some faith required in making a booking. We were not disappointed at all in our choice of Les Cigognes. It is on a dusty street with a constant flow of humanity, and there is little to mark the door, but once inside it is a true oasis of calm. The quiet splashing of the flower-strewn fountain ensures that all the hubbub of the outside world is soon forgotten. The roof terrace offers an incredible view over the rooftops of Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains in one direction and over the ramparts of the palaces in the other--yes, here, you are smack in the middle of everything, and if you plan to do some sightseeing, then there are few places better located. The entrance to the Badi Palace is almost directly across the street. The Bahia Palace entrance is around the corner. The Saadian Tombs (our favourite) is just past the Badi. The Place des Ferblanters is also a great spot for a light lunch at one of the many snack places or by night with a very good Tanjia restaurant and also a nice bar at Kosybar...both of which we enjoyed.
