Tourism taxes (generally not included in the room rate).
Moroccan riads ‘guesthouses’ have to collect 2 taxes upon their guests:
- Tourism Promotion Tax (TPT): the amount of the tax depends on the property category, 8 or 11 dirhams per people per night. That tax is collected by the properties and integrally put back into Morocco National Tourist Office.
- City Tax (from January 2008): like the hotels and restaurants, ‘guesthouses’ must now collect the City tax. The amount of the City tax is 15 dirhams per people (older than 12 y-o) and per night.

The Dar Housnia, "home of serenity", is an elegant riad situated in the heart of the Kaat Benahid quarter of the Marrakech medina. Kaat Benahid is one of the most historical and authentic neighborhoods of the medina.
Dar Housnia was lovingly renovated by the Belgian architect Christophe Siméon. Renovations were made with the utmost respect to traditional methods and Arab Andalusian architecture. The four 6 suites are unique from one another and possess their own luxurious bathrooms, completely constructed with natural taddelkat.
The sculpting, ironworks and ancient wood carvings were restored by some of the most talented artisans in the medina to their original beauty.
Fabrics of the finest quality and priceless objects found after meticulous searches in the souks and antique stores have been carefully added by the two Belgian owners, resulting in an atmosphere quite luxurious and definitely refined.
The patio is planted with palm trees and offers a shaded haven from the summer sun. Guests are invited to refresh themselves in the "swimming" basin / fountain at any hour. The basin is filtered and the water is heated when needed.
Dar Housnia has its Hammam and Massage room to complete the services provided
A swimming pool (heated and equiped with endless current system), protected and quiet, was also open in Spring 2008
In spring 2008, Dar Housnia will open 2 new suites located in a "Douiria" (small house) adjacent to the main riad. Guests in the Douiria will enjoy a large lounge and private terrace with view to the Koutoubia... a little palace for private use ! with all the services of Dar Housnia (hammam, swimming pool, staff)
All rooms are equipped with one large double bed that can be transformed into two twin beds if needed. Ample closet space and private bathrooms are offered in all rooms.
