 The Villa Nomade hotel is located in the north of Marrakech's medina in an area called Bab Taghzout, twenty minutes' walk from Djemaa el Fna Square. The nearby Bab Taghzout Square is a hub for taxis. The city centre at Gueliz is around 2 km, or a 15-minute walk, away. Sidi Bel Abbas temple is around 200 m away, and the souks of the medina are some 300 m away. Marrakech-Menara Airport is approximately 6 km away.
The 12 rooms and suites of the hotel are laid out around the patio on two levels, and are decorated with taste, originality, and with a constant eye to refinement. The furniture and decorative objects were exclusively designed and created here by Moroccan craftsmen. The crystalline murmur of a fountain can be distinguished over the hubbub of the bazaars, a heavy door is discreetly ajar among the ancient facades of the old town (medina) opening onto one of the most beautiful riads of Marrakech. Facilities at this air-conditioned establishment include a lobby, 24-hour reception, a hotel safe, restaurant, Internet access and a laundry service.
The rooms bear the names and tell the stories of explorers and great voyagers of legend such as Saint-Exupery, Marco Polo, Theodore Monod and Alexandra David-Neel. In-room amenities include an en suite bathroom, double or king-size bed, satellite/cable TV, Internet access, a safe, minibar, individually regulated air conditioning and a balcony or terrace.
The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers, and massage and spa treatments are offered (for a fee).
Moroccan breakfast is served in the patio's coolness or on the terrace.
