Raised in Tiflet, Mohammed Lachgar ran his first online business at sixteen. He co-founded StayHere in Rabat in June 2020 with Mohamed Benzakour, starting with three suites — no hotel, no debt, no sector experience. Five years later the group runs 10 addresses and more than 300 suites across Rabat, Casablanca, Agadir and Essaouira, with more than 100 collaborators and over 10,000 verified reviews. As managing director he leads the group’s technology infrastructure, finance, distribution, acquisition channels and the systems behind operations. Before StayHere he lived and worked remotely from Southeast Asia — the experience behind the group’s founding conviction that hospitality is not a building but a feeling: the feeling of being expected. He is also co-founder (Partner, Growth & Technology) of StayCapital, and treasurer of the Regional Tourism Council of Rabat-Salé-Kénitra. StayHere has announced openings in Essaouira and Marrakech for 2026, and new brands in Fès and Tanger for 2027.
