Best rates guaranteed — save up to 10% vs Airbnb & Booking
Jardin Majorelle and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent share the same address on Rue Yves Saint Laurent. From our apartments, both are a 2-minute walk — which means you can visit the garden at dawn, have breakfast at the apartment, return to the museum when it opens, and be back for a quiet afternoon. No transfers. No taxis. No itinerary pressure.
This is a different way to experience one of Marrakech's most significant cultural sites. Instead of one rushed visit, staying nearby allows you to develop a genuine familiarity with both spaces — the garden in different lights, the museum at your own pace. It is, quite simply, the best possible base for anyone who considers the Majorelle complex a reason to visit Marrakech.
Our apartments are on a quiet residential street in the Majorelle district. Calm, private, and as close to the YSL Museum as an apartment in Marrakech can be without being a hotel.
The Musée YSL
The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech opened in 2017, designed by Studio KO to echo the terracotta tones of the city and the cobalt blues of the garden next door. It is not simply a fashion museum — it is an intimate account of how Marrakech shaped one of the twentieth century's most influential creative minds.
The museum's permanent galleries trace the full arc of Yves Saint Laurent's career — from his early years at Dior to the landmark collections that defined contemporary fashion. The displays are intimate, impeccably curated, and illuminated by extraordinary archival material.
Morocco was not merely a backdrop for Yves Saint Laurent — it was a primary influence. The Majorelle colours, the local craftsmanship and the quality of North African light appear throughout his work. The museum makes this relationship explicit, and spending time in it while staying in the neighbourhood adds a particular resonance.
The museum and the garden are inseparable. Jardin Majorelle — created by painter Jacques Majorelle, later acquired and restored by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé — remains the most photographed garden in Africa. YSL's ashes are scattered there. Both the garden and the museum deserve more than a single afternoon.

Check availability & Book directFor guests drawn to Marrakech specifically by the Musée YSL, proximity matters. Staying a 2-minute walk away means visiting the museum more than once — at opening, or again in the late afternoon when the crowds thin and the light through Studio KO's lattice screens shifts completely.
Jardin Majorelle, the YSL Museum and the Berber Museum together form one of the most concentrated cultural destinations in North Africa. Guests who want to spend genuine time with each of them — rather than ticking them off a list — need to be close. Our apartments make that possible.
Many of our guests have been to Marrakech before and come back specifically for Majorelle. Having seen the medina, they want a more considered experience: quality of neighbourhood, proximity to culture, calm at the end of the day. This is exactly what the Majorelle district offers.
The Musée Yves Saint Laurent is located adjacent to Jardin Majorelle, at the same address on Rue Yves Saint Laurent. Our apartments are a 2-minute walk from both the museum entrance and the main gate of the garden. You can visit both on foot, without transport, at any point during your stay.
The Musée YSL Marrakech is considered one of the finest design and fashion museums in Africa. Opened in 2017, it houses permanent and rotating exhibitions dedicated to the life and work of Yves Saint Laurent, whose relationship with Marrakech — and Jardin Majorelle in particular — shaped his aesthetic for decades. For anyone interested in fashion, design or art, it is genuinely unmissable.
Yes — and staying in the Majorelle district is the ideal way to do it. Both sites share the same address and can be visited together or on separate half-days. Our guests often visit the garden in the morning and the museum in the afternoon, returning to the apartment on foot between the two.
The Musée YSL Marrakech is generally open daily. Hours vary by season and may be adjusted for private events or holidays, so we recommend checking the official museum website before your visit. Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance online.
