“An impeccably designed 6-suite riad with wonderfully lush gardens and pool. The sublime suites feature four posters, intricately carved furniture and egyptian cotton sheets. Refurbished and designed by owner Jasper Conran it comes as no surprise that this place exudes luxury and style.”

Hotel review

L’Hotel Marrakech, Jasper Conran’s first foray as a hotelier, opened in 2016 in the central part of a  19th-century Caidal palace. Passing through a large studded door, a smartly white-clad member of staff guides visitors into a luxuriant jungle-like garden with a pool and sun loungers. On arrival, passing a chic Art Deco bar, guests are led to an antique-filled salon, where mint tea is served with sweet edibles. Run like a discreet private home, there are no keys to the six indulgently spacious suites within the labyrinthine walls of the building. Romantic apartment-size rooms that feel cocooning, are festooned with white Egyptian voile draped around an emperor or king-size four-poster bed. Bathrooms are equally commodious with generous roll top bath, huge sink and shower. A nostalgic feel of elegance pervades the air, harking back to the 1930s. Suites either have a private terrace or courtyard garden, a walk-in wardrobe or a private sundeck and dipping pool. Beautifully lit at night by lanterns, guests can enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner on the roof terrace beside a roaring fire or eat in privacy on their own terrace. Staff are friendly and attentive.

L'Hôtel Marrakech

Jasper Conran’s 19th-century riad is a haven of effortless good taste. Its extravagant green garden and art-filled suites channel the same soignée glamour as the 1942 film, Casablanca.
