The Perfect Blend
We don’t claim to be perfect but we do aim to put these three values at the core of what we do by celebrating the beauty of Moroccan heritage and culture, acting responsibly within our local community and constantly evolving the way we work to minimise our environmental footprint. It’s important to us. And we know it’s important to you too.
Authenticity, Community and Sustainability
El Fenn was founded on the belief that luxury can also be relaxed and authentic. Our team is local, our artisans come from the souks and our food from nearby. We’re part of a community and we want to share that with all our guests. We also aim to be as sustainable as possible so we don’t fly in food and we stopped using plastic bottles four years ago.
Authenticity
Authenticity is the heartbeat of our hotel. Brick by brick, person by person, we honour the ancient traditions of Marrakech: whether that’s artisanal cedar wood and tadelakt lime plaster in our bedrooms, or food that draws on the rich traditions of Moroccan food. What we hope is that by honouring the key elements of traditional life here, our guests can experience it with us through sight, smell, taste and touch.

Community
However beautiful a hotel, however seamless, it’s the people that make it feel like a home. And for many of our guests, it’s the warmth, generosity and hospitality of the El Fenn team that’s the highlight of their stay. Our staff of 90 is drawn from the local area and we’re proud that many of them have been with us for years. Just like a family, we work, eat, celebrate and support each other.

Sustainability
Minimising our environmental impact in a country that faces challenges such as water scarcity is vital and we aim to operate as sustainably as possible. Four years ago, for instance, we installed a water filtration system that enabled us to eliminate single use plastic bottles and replace them with reusable glass. Our bathroom products are made of local, natural ingredients and provided in large refillable containers. Our kitchen works seasonally and thoughtfully to minimise food wastage. We launder your laundry on request rather than refresh it automatically every day.
