Your Refined Retreat
in the Marrakech Medina

Opposite the historic Dar el Bacha Palace within the UNESCO-protected medina, lies Amanar. Once the residence of a minister to the Pacha of Marrakech, this heritage riad has been meticulously restored in reverence to Moroccan craftsmanship. More than a boutique hotel, Amanar is an intimate cultural immersion — rooted in history, guided by tradition, and defined by quiet refinement.

A cozy bedroom with a pink bed, white pillows, and warm wall lighting. A pink chair, wooden side table with decorative items, and a white tufted bench near the bed. There is a fireplace with brick and decorative plasterwork, and colorful stained glass windows on the side.
A bathroom with pink walls, a round mirror reflecting multi-colored stained glass windows, a golden artisan sink with a gold faucet, a small mirror, a bottle of soap, a towel hanging on a gold bar, and a wooden cabinet with colorful textured glass panels in green, yellow, orange, and blue.

Rooms Inspired by the Treasures of the Souks

Each of Amanar’s nine rooms and suites is a sanctuary of Moroccan artistry and modern comfort. Ranging from cozy rooms to spacious suites, each is individually designed, with colors, textures, and details inspired by the treasures, spices, and textiles that once passed through Marrakech’s markets.

Owned and managed by Austrian and Arab designers and hospitality experts, the property blends the warmth of both cultures with high standards in service and comfort, creating a truly memorable experience.
