Dar Jaguar brings together an exquisite blend of traditional Moorish and Oriental architecture with an elegant European romanticism. It is built around a central courtyard in which palm trees are intertwined with bougainvillea which drape onto an antique marble fountain.

Each room has an individual style with furnishings and heirlooms sourced from all corners of the globe.

Dar Jaguar offers four spacious en suites and one Royal Suite, as well as three different salons and a large sundrenched roof terrace with a magnificent view over the city. There is also a plunge pool set under the ancient carved woodwork and huge Syrian chandelier designed by the owner, Lucia Silver.

The Riad has a full complement of staff including our talented chef, Fatiha. Chauffeurs, masseurs, beauty technicians, tour guides and personal shoppers can be arranged as requested.

The Royal Suite – the pride of Dar Jaguar – State of Grace
Vast suite perfectly suited for honeymooners and other special occasions.

State of Grace has its own independent staircase and entrance hall. Its private Italian-style “Juliet” balcony faces the grand Syrian hanging chandelier and overlooks the gently flowing petal-filled fountain of the Dar Jaguar courtyard below.

A king size four poster bed has been especially commissioned for this room, as have the sumptuous jewel coloured silk velvet curtains and cushions that adorn it.

For romantic winter nights, there is an open fireplace. Four state carver chairs – two Victorian leather and two gilt and turquoise silk art deco sit proudly on the Georgian black and white floor tiling. The sculpted plasterwork framing the entire suite is over three hundred years old and breathtaking in its detail and intricacy. These historic features are lit by a magnificent 1800s French crystal chandelier.
The State of Grace bathroom is lavishly stylish in black polished tadlekt. A huge copper freestanding bath sits at its centre lit by two romantic hanging Syrian crystal lights.Click to see the view of State of Grace Suite
