L’Hôtel Marrakech is a five-suite Riad located in the heart of the city’s Medina, close to the Jemaa El Fna square, the bustling Souk and the 12th Century Koutoubia Mosque. This historic 19th Century Riad was originally the central part of a Caidal palace. Today, it contains five ssuites surrounding a courtyard garden and swimming pool. Owned by Jasper Conran, the L’Hôtel combines beautiful Moroccan craftsmanship, its restoration having been executed using local craftsmen and traditional materials. White voile curtains billow on the terraces amongst the sun loungers and inside, walls are coated in a simple whitewash to complement the high zouak ceilings. There is a relaxing feeling of charm and serenity throughout the L’Hôtel, and if you venture to the roof terrace, you will disover extraordinary views of the Atlas mountains and the skyline of Marrakech. It is a place to unwind after a day’s foray into the souks, and somewhere to lay out on sun loungers. Breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea can be taken under the pergola. Cocktails can be enjoyed amongst orange blossom and fig trees, a wilderness of honeysuckle, bougainvillea jasmine and scented roses whilst watching the sun go down over the snowcapped mountains. In the evenings, dinner is served in the dining room and on cooler nights, curtains are drawn and a fire is lit whilst traditional Moroccan food is served.
