The patios
Two patios: the courtyard of the historic house, planted with orange trees, with its high ceilings and wrought-iron windows, and that of the new wing, around its pool.
Charming boutique hotel & spa
An oasis
in the heart
of Marrakech
A charming boutique hotel and spa in the Marrakech medina. Twelve suites around two patios, and a rooftop terrace with its pool above the red city.
Check availabilitySwallows follow the sun. So can you.
“Hirondelles” is French for “swallows”. Just as swallows migrate from Europe to Africa, chasing the sun, we invite you to come and enjoy the Moroccan rays in our riad, an oasis in the heart of Marrakech’s old town.
A renovated traditional Moroccan family home, our boutique hotel is uniquely designed, mixing a chic and modern style with traditional Moroccan characteristics.
Our team is on site around the clock.
Twelve suites, each named after a bird
Each suite has its own character, designed in a chic, modern style with a Moroccan touch. Seven in the historic house, five in the new wing, the riad’s newly opened extension.

The riad’s spaces
The terraces
Up on the roofs, several terraces: breakfast overlooking the red city, an afternoon on the deck chairs, a fresh fruit cocktail on demand. The ideal spot to decompress after the bustle of the medina below.
The lounges
A book by the fireplace on a chilly winter evening, a board game, shelves of guides to plan your next adventure. In the new wing, two small lounges and a long shared table extend the invitation.
The pools
Two pools: one on the roof, lined with black-and-white zellige, above the medina; the other in the patio of the new wing.
The Spa, Madame Hirondelle
A true spa at the heart of the riad, conceived as an extension of its calm: a traditional hammam, two private massage rooms, a cold bath and quiet spaces to rest. Treatments are given by the expert hands of Chima, with Les Sens de Marrakech argan oil.
The table, and everything around it
Our chef cooks traditional Moroccan dishes from what is fresh at the market that day. Lunch and dinner are served on request, on the lit terrace or in the lounge.
