La Cour des Lions
La Cour des Lions Es Saadi Resort - Marrakech - MOROCCO
On the top floor of the Es Saadi Palace lies the beautifully ornate La Cour des Lions. Offering spectacular panoramic views of the city, but also of the pool and gardens of the Palace, lace-like carved stone and sculpted plaster is apparent throughout, with a strong similarity to the Arab-Andalusian décor of Granada. Before dinner, guests can enjoy a drink or two in the main lounge or on one of the two terraces before heading for dinner.
The Bauchet-Bouhlal family has appointed seminal Parisian chef, Fatéma Hal to helm the destination restaurant. Having spent most of her life in Marrakech, Fatéma Hal has always taken great delight in her native cuisine. Dedicating her career to reigniting the passion for Moroccan food, Fatema opened her own restaurant ‘MANSOURIA’, in Paris in 1984 going on to secure itself a place on the prestigious Michelin guide. Describing her inspiration as being “to make people dream and to regain the sense of the journey”, she has allowed guests to delve into a slice of the Moroccan culture and gone about enhancing traditional but forgotten courses, to make this beautiful restaurant a principle gastronomic delight in Marrakech.
