Les Jardins de la Medina

Marrakesh


Mature palms and soothing fountains create a relaxing little enclave at this courtyard bar within a classy 1920s Kasbah hotel. Live musicians can often be found strumming and warbling while well-dressed guests take pre-dinner aperitifs in green wicker armchairs. Inside, the moody bar is an atmospheric art deco bolthole for colder nights.
