ABOUT US
We believe that all travel experiences should be good, make good, and do good.
Peacock Pavilions is a hand-built, artisanal boutique hotel set within an ancient olive grove on the outskirts of Marrakech. Designed and created by American designer, author, and hotelier Maryam Montague and her architect husband, Chris Redecke, the property opened in 2012 after nearly four years of design and construction.
The story began when Maryam and Chris moved to Marrakech with their family in 2006. Rather than restoring an existing riad, they chose to create something entirely their own: a collection of richly layered spaces inspired by Morocco's craftsmanship, architecture, color, and traditions, while incorporating treasures and influences gathered from around the world. Today, Peacock Pavilions offers a distinctly personal alternative to the traditional Marrakech hotel.
Set on an 8.5-acre private estate with views of the Atlas Mountains, the property has grown to include three distinctive pavilions, two luxury bungalows, a swimming pool, outdoor cinema, yoga and activities pavilion, outdoor gym, and the property's painted Arabian dining tent. Over the years, Peacock Pavilions has welcomed travelers, creative retreats, celebrations, and fashion and editorial shoots, and has been featured across international design, travel, and television media.
At its heart, however, Peacock Pavilions remains a family home. Maryam and Chris continue to live on the property, sharing their corner of Marrakech with their guests and an ever-present cast of resident animals, including the property's famously charismatic peacocks, cats, and dogs.
Peacock Pavilions is also deeply connected to its local community. In 2013, Maryam founded Project Soar, a Marrakech-based organization dedicated to empowering teen girls with the skills, confidence, and support to shape their own futures. A portion of Peacock Pavilions' profits supports the organization, making the property's belief in travel that can “be good, make good, and do good” part of its everyday purpose.
Peacock Pavilions has evolved into a place of hospitality, design, creativity, and community, where every corner carries a story, and guests are invited to become part of it.
