A Riad Of Traditional Design & Modern Luxuries
There are some destinations that make you want to pack your bags and get on a plane. This is one of them. A gorgeous riad in the medina, this property has been converted into a small boutique hotel with an effortlessly indulgent feel. A little oasis for design lovers, it offers a unique combination of modern luxury and traditional design.
We love the zelliges or mosaic tiles that cover the floors and bathrooms, the delicately arched doorways, the carved wooden panels, the shuttered windows, the heavy drapes, the splashes of colorful fabric, and the beautiful found objects.
But mostly, we love the hotel's absolute commitment to relaxation - in the intricately tiled courtyard, with its plunge pool and outdoor mattresses, and the rooftop terrace that overlooks Marrakech's medina, offering views as far as the snow-capped Atlas mountains. There's also an interior dining room with a lounge and fireplace, books and toys. An in-house chef offers up freshly-made local dishes like tajine chicken and candied lemons, royal couscous and harira soup, with green mint tea available all day long.
The eight rooms and suites are built around a stunning central courtyard, with a breathtakingly pretty tiled pool. Available in its entirety, or room by room, this is a great luxury boutique hotel in Marrakesh for friends, families or large groups. It's kid-friendly and very affordable too. They can be rented individually or together, and the property can accommodate events like birthdays, bachelorette parties, retreats and workshops.
THE RED CITY
Marrakesh is Morocco's fourth-largest city, located to the north of the foothills of the Atlas mountains, and is known as the "Red City" for its 12th-century ochre walls.
This property is located in the heart of the old fortified city, or medina. Visitors to the city are encouraged to visit its labyrinthine souks - with cubicles selling everything from carpets and spices to kaftans and cooked snails. Green spaces nearby include La Mamounia and the Jardin Majorelle (with its stunning Museum of Islamic Art).
