Kssour Agafay Hotel

An introduction to Kssour Agafay Hotel

Hip. Trendy. Breathtakingly fabulous in every way. In the boutique-chic hotel stakes, the Kssour Agafay is in a league of its own. Spread over three floors and comprising just five luxury suites, this hotel is both an intimate and a select property owned by the British-Moroccan entrepreneur Abel Damoussi. The hotel attracts rather exclusive and eclectic clientele. From intellectuals to bon viveurs, from bohemian travellers to well known personalities, you can expect plenty to meet fascinating people from around the world. As to the hotel itself, it's just gorgeous. Take the building, for instance. Originally an aristocratic residence built by a Moroccan noble family, it was lovingly restored by expert local craftsmen in the late nineties and today is Grade 1 listed and classed by UNESCO as a World Heritage building. But that's not all. The Kssour Agafay also doubles as a deliciously stylish private members club – the first of its kind in Marrakech – and in 2005 received the Best Club award by London's cutting-edge magazine, Wallpaper. It's also a world-class centre for culture and the arts. Patrons are asked to donate any books they have written, published or translated in order to create a unique library particular to the hotel. Browse through the collection or perhaps attend a talk or exhibition to discover more about the culture of Morocco.

Stimulating lectures aside, the hotel gets another big tick – this time on the location front. It's very central, tucked away in a labyrinth of narrow streets facing the Koutoubia mosque. The famous Djamaa El Fna square, with its heady assortment of snake charmers, acrobats and sizzling grills, is just a fifteen minute stroll away. And talking of food, at the hotel you can eat in a Moroccan-styled salon or out on a beautiful open air patio. After your meal, head to the sleek bar Fumoir which has range of top cigars to choose from. As a guest at the Kssour, you can also take advantage of the facilities of the Kasbah Agafay, where there's a swimming pool, spa, tennis court and cookery school. It's about a twenty minute drive away and you'll receive preferential rates and booking priority. Hotel. Private club. Arts centre. The Kssour Agafay is one impressive place - come and discover its inimitable charms for yourself.
