Dar Zelda The simplicity of luxury.
A 19th-century merchant's house kept as a living collection — nine rooms and suites of New Moroccan Style around a sunlit patio, a heated pool, a rooftop jacuzzi.
New Moroccan Style — the manifesto
A merchant's house,
kept as a cabinet of curiosities.
Behind a door of the Kaât Bennahid quarter, the largest house of the Margo collection unfolds like a catalogue: eclectic antiques gathered over a lifetime, exquisite rugs, furnishings signed by non-conformist artists. Moroccan heritage and contemporary design share the same rooms without ceremony — this is what its keepers call New Moroccan Style.
Everything here is artisan-made — carved woods, forged iron, silks — and everything is meant to be lived with: nine rooms and suites open onto the sunlit patio, the pool is heated, the rooftop keeps its jacuzzi for the evening. The simplicity of luxury, catalogued.

The house — three levels, one light
Around the patio,
eleven hundred square metres of it.
The patio holds the house together — arcades, the fountain's murmur, the heated pool. Around it, the salons; above it, the gallery and the rooms; on the roof, the terrace and its jacuzzi.

The showpiece
Upstairs, the douiria keeps the house's oldest treasure: an 18th-century salon of painted cedar, cupolas and frescoes intact, restored by hand. It is the heart of the catalogue — and of the Douiria King Suite, its keys numbered 01.
