“A charming riad with boutique interiors just 5 minutes from Jemaa El Fna. All 8 rooms have an eclectic mix of contemporary white walls and authentic Moroccan decorations, some sleep four. Panoramic cityscape views from the roof terrace, small pool, and fabulous Moroccan and Spanish cuisine. ”

Hotel review

The temptation in a vibrant city like Marrakech could be to go full tilt on colour and texture however the magic about Abracadabra is in its understated chic simplicity with a European influence. It's all about comfort and pared down luxury here. The deliberately neutral interior turns the focus on the carefully considered details - scented rooms, soft pillows, quality bed linen from Casablanca, sublime mattresses, towelling robes, leather babouches (for guests to take away), generous towels, hot water bottles, collector's magazines lining the shelves, faded antique rugs and spaciously configured suites. Co-owned by Spanish cousins Bruno & Inés, the emphasis on providing a calm and quiet sanctuary away from the mayhem of the Médina is further enhanced by the willing and professional staff. The roof terrace has a cooling plunge pool, sun loungers, snug seating area and a glass cabin-style restaurant serving tasty international albeit Spanish influenced cuisine and satisfying breakfasts. Note: lunch must be pre-booked in the morning and dinner isn't always possible, please check at the time of booking as you don't want to arrive exhausted and have to go out into the Médina.

Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally? We do offer lunch, dinner and express menus. Our cook Saaida is amazing in Moroccan and international cuisine and the set up in our roof terrace is unbeatable! Before the client arrives to Marrakech, we use to recommend a long list of nice restaurants in the area. Which are your most popular room types, and why? We do have 8 rooms divided in 3 categories: Deluxe Suites are the bigger ones. Two of them can accommodate up to 4 guests and are very popular for families. Deluxe Suite Oz is our most popular room for Honeymooners. Junior Suites are perfect for couples. There are 3 different Junior Suites with very nice decoration. Double rooms are our smaller rooms but with big and nice bathroom, they are perfect for people wanting to sleep in twin beds. What facilities do you have for children and can you fit extra beds in your rooms? The Riad is not suitable for children under 12 as there are plenty of stairs and ambience has to be quiet in the Riad. We can fit extra beds in Deluxe Suite Merlin and Madame Mim. These two rooms are very popular for families. What message would you like to give Hotel Guru readers? If you decide to visit us, you will love the Riad and we will be very happy to help you to organise your whole stay in Marrakech in terms of plans, visits, excursions, restaurants, hammams, nice shopping tours in the Médina and the new city and airport transfers.
