Pestana CR7 Marrakech

Built in 1910, the "House of the Pasha", as Dar el Bacha is known, was the residence of Thami El Glaoui, who received the title of Pasha of Marrakesh. An excellent example of Moroccan architecture, with fountains and orange trees in its central courtyard, traditional seating areas and a hammam. In addition to duly-preserved traditional features, the palace also reveals influences from European architecture, since it was one of the first palaces in Marrakesh to feature ostentatious decoration on its facade.

Considered one of the most charming and mysterious gardens in Morocco, the Islamic Garden of Majorelle in Marrakesh was the work of artist Jacques Majorelle for almost 40 years. The property was the residence of the artist and his wife. In the 1980s, the fashion designers Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé went ahead with its restoration, installing the Berber and Yves Saint Laurent Museums in this space, while in Marjorelle’s former workshop, the Museum of Islamic Art of Marrakesh was created.

The Menara Gardens are the ideal place for those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Here you can relax among the olive trees or beside the enormous lake in the central area of the gardens that also serves as a water reservoir. Excellent for taking a walk or relaxing on the banks beside the lake, contemplating the horizon and unique sunsets, the garden attracts both Moroccans and tourists in search of moments of calm and rest, far from the vibrant excitement of the city centre.
