History
Originally a pair of 17th-century merchant houses, the property was transformed into a luxury riad hotel by renowned architect Charles Boccara, who utilized his signature Andalusian-Moorish style to link the two structures via an elevated bridge. Managed by the Sanssouci Collection, the hotel has gained international acclaim for its commitment to traditional Moroccan culinary arts and its unique architectural feat in the southern medina. The building sits on a site with historical roots dating back to the 1600s, directly facing the gates of the Royal Palace.
The setting
