P'tit Habibi

ABOUT ME

I am P’tit Habibi. I am a gem, hidden in a quiet pocket of the northern medina of Marrakech. Once you step inside to the courtyard, the hustle and bustle give way to an elegant serenity. I will win you over in no time with my charming mix of Moroccan and Scandinavian design. Day times I am very loungey. Laid back. Cool. At night I tend to get very romantic amidst the candlelight. With only 5 rooms, I am quiet and cozy, a home away from home. Most of Riads in Morrocco have their pool in the courtyard, but mine can be found on the roof. Tan, wade and relax in the refreshing waters while enjoying a panoramic view of the rooftops of Marrakech. In the evenings you can watch the stars or treat yourself to a movie night in my very own private cinema.

WHAT TO DO IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD

Eat. If you care to eat beyond my walls, I would suggest to get a taste of the real local Moroccan life beyond the Tajine. Only 5 minutes walking you will find many places serving tasty beef and lamb sandwiches. The atmosphere may not be 5 star, but the taste is quite delectable.

If you are in the mood to walk and get lost there are a bunch of places that will be worth your while —

Jardin Majorelle — 30 minute walk
Jemaa El Fna Square — 25 minute walk
Ben Youssef Madrasa — 15 minute walk
The Souks — 10 minute walk 

When it is open, the Mosque down the street has such beautiful architecture, definitely a place to stop by on your way back into the center of the medina.

SHARED SECRETS

Make sure to indulge in the downstairs cinema. Projector, lots of good choices and a chill out area fit for a king.

The word Habibi is arabic for “my love” or “sweatheart” and P’tit is exactly like it — “petite” or “little.” When combined it means My Little Sweetheart.
