La Gazelle d’Or

This utterly delightful hotel enjoys an international reputation. Close to the ancient walled city of Taroudant, it is surrounded by fragrant citrus groves and glorious bougainvillea-filled gardens. Privately owned by Mrs Rita Bennis, Gazelle d‘Or is favoured by those who come to savour its very special brand of blissfully secluded luxury. Service is discreet and the hotel’s sumptuous interior is opulently appointed with Moroccan mosaics, hand woven rugs and valuable antiques, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
