Historic boutique riad in Marrakech medina, former residence of Josephine Baker

Property & History

Dar Lalla F'Dila is a restored guest house located in the historic medina of Marrakech, 100 metres from the Museum of Marrakech. The building was the residence of Josephine Baker during World War II, a distinction that sets it apart from other medina accommodations. Architect Quentin Wilbaux supervised the restoration, preserving rare architectural elements such as Berber rugs and traditional tadelakt-plastered bathrooms.

Rooms & Amenities

Guest rooms are decorated with traditional Moroccan décor including Berber rugs, and some have seating areas with a fireplace and satellite TV. Rooms offer high ceilings, spacious layouts, and private bathrooms with hairdryers. The terrace provides 360-degree views of the medina and the Atlas Mountains, with outdoor furniture, sun loungers, and an open-air bath.

Dining

Traditional Moroccan cuisine is served in the dining room and on the rooftop terrace, which overlooks the souks. A daily full breakfast is included with various packages, featuring items such as msemen, pancakes, fruit, yoghurt, and Moroccan tea. Guests can request special diet menus for kids' meals, and chef Fatima offers home-cooked tagines and couscous dinners.

Wellness & Spa

The on-site private hammam offers a range of treatments including body scrubs, body wraps, massages, and steam room sessions. Guests can book spa/wellness packages that include manicures, pedicures, hair treatments, and waxing services. The open-air bath and solarium on the terrace provide additional relaxation options after spa treatments.

Location & Services

The hotel is 900 metres from Jemaa el-Fna Square and 5 km from Marrakech-Menara International Airport, with airport shuttle and car hire available. Staff offer 24-hour front desk service, luggage storage, concierge, and tour desk to arrange transfers, quad biking, hot air balloon rides, and guided walking tours. The property provides babysitting, board games, and a water park pass for families, along with laundry and dry cleaning services.

“This meticulously restored riad, once home to Josephine Baker, resides in the medina's heart, a short walk from the Museum of Marrakech. Architectural details showcase Moroccan tradition alongside modern indulgence, including a private hammam and panoramic rooftop views. I particularly appreciate the bespoke dining, where authentic cuisine meets exotic spices.”
