About this listing

The Movenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech offers a sophisticated retreat in the heart of Morocco, specifically catering to the kosher traveler during the winter season. Located in the prestigious Hivernage district, this five-star establishment combines modern luxury with the rich architectural heritage of the region. From mid-December through early January, the hotel becomes a hub for those seeking a "Winter Sun" experience under strict rabbinical supervision.

Managed in partnership with the First Kosher Club and Charlie Perez, the kosher program ensures that every aspect of the culinary and religious experience is handled with care. Guests can expect a blend of international gastronomic standards and traditional Moroccan flavors, all set within a resort environment that includes world-class amenities like expansive swimming pools and a dedicated spa. Whether you are visiting for the climate or the heritage, the hotel provides a seamless environment for observing Jewish traditions in Marrakech.

About the area

Situated in Hivernage, one of Marrakech’s most sought-after neighborhoods, the hotel is perfectly positioned for both leisure and accessibility. This district is known for its wide, tree-lined avenues, luxury boutiques, and high-end dining, offering a more peaceful atmosphere than the dense Medina. The hotel is located just 100 meters from the Palais des Congrès, a landmark for major cultural and political gatherings in Morocco.

Historically, Marrakech has maintained a significant Jewish presence, and staying in Hivernage allows guests to remain close to the city's Jewish heritage sites while enjoying contemporary comforts. The hotel's proximity to major transport links makes it easy to navigate to the various synagogues and historical points of interest scattered throughout the city and the nearby Atlas Mountains.

Nearby Jewish landmarks

The Hivernage district serves as a calm oasis within the bustling city of Marrakech. Guests are within walking distance of the Menara Gardens, a historic site featuring olive groves and a tranquil reflecting pool dating back to the 12th century. The Palais des Congrès is immediately adjacent to the hotel, making it a convenient base for those attending international events.

For those looking to explore the religious and cultural history of the area, the Mellah—Marrakech's historic Jewish quarter—is a short drive away. This area is home to the Lazama Synagogue and the Jewish Cemetery (Miâara), which stands as a testament to the centuries of Jewish life in Morocco. Visitors can also explore the Jardin Majorelle or the bustling stalls of the Jemaa el-Fnaa square, all located within easy reach of the hotel’s central Hivernage location.

What to expect

Dining at the Movenpick during the kosher program is a comprehensive experience. All meats used are Glatt Kosher Lamehadrine and are specifically imported for the event. The culinary team focuses on a dual approach: modern gastronomic plates paired with authentic Moroccan dishes like tagines and traditional sweets. Beyond the standard meals, guests can enjoy daily themed snacks that provide a social atmosphere for families and groups.

On the religious side, the program provides a dedicated synagogue space. Services are conducted for both Sephardic and Ashkenazi traditions, ensuring all guests feel at home during prayer times. Educational components, such as Torah conferences and lectures, are integrated into the stay. During Shabbat, the atmosphere shifts to one of traditional rest, marked by a generous Kiddush and communal meals designed to evoke nostalgic memories of Jewish heritage.

The physical property itself is designed for relaxation. With two outdoor swimming pools—one of which is heated and open year-round—guests can enjoy the Moroccan sun even in the winter months. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, reflecting the "Mansour Eddahbi" name through elegant decor and high-quality finishes, while the spa and sauna provide ample opportunity for rejuvenation between religious services and sightseeing.
