“An understated and elegant Riad, in the heart of Marrakech. The beautifully decorated rooms fuse Moroccan and European styles to create enchanting spaces. Fantastic views from the roof top terrace, while you chow down on award winning delicious food. Simply magical. ”

Hotel review

Well-known architect Charles Boccara was involved in the design of this chic retreat and the result is a sophisticated marriage of Moroccan style and European design sensibilities. Made up of two riads joined into one by a bridge over a small alleyway, each room is unique; a spa, hammam and hot tub will help you to unwind and the restaurant serves excellent Moroccan and Mediterranean food.

See what they say

Why do people love staying in your hotel? Fantastic location next to major monuments and ease of access (one of only riads in Marrakech with direct street access, making it easy to come and go by car). Gourmet Morocco…winner of best Moroccan cooking school and award winning traditional Moroccan cuisine. Charles Boccara, Morocco's leading architect and his signature Andalo-Moorish style.

What is there to do in the area? 3 of the most important tourist sites are right on our doorstep (Saadian tombs, Badi Palace, Bahia Palace) and two secondary sites (Dar Si Said and Musee Tiskiwin). Also the spice souks and jewellery souks are just next door.

What kind of breakfast do you offer? We offer an option of a la carte dining with dishes such as salmon, cheese, ham, bacon, avocado, cereals, etc…or a "full breakfast" which includes fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit salad, seasonal fresh fruit, homemade moroccan pastries (changes each day), homemade french pastries, homemade jams, homemade yoghurt, eggs any style served with toast and roasted tomatoes, and italian coffee or English tea

Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally? Yes, we offer lunch and dinner and our menu changes each day to reflect what is fresh and in season. There are a number of good places to eat at the Place des Ferblantiers which is just next door.

Which are your most popular room types, and why? Deluxe rooms--they are big and offer good value.
