Riad El Fenn is a luxury riad in the heart of the Marrakech medina, only five minutes walk from the Koutoubia mosque and the Djemaa el Fna square.

With 21 uniquely-styled suites, 3 swimming pools and its own hammam spa, Riad El Fenn is a boutique hotel of unique quality. Every detail has been carefully considered from the fine linen to the delicious food. The enormous terraces and plentiful comfy nooks make it the ideal place to relax and unwind in North Africa’s most exotic city.

Owners Vanessa Branson & Howell James have created a hotel that is really a chic home away from home, with its own organic garden, cinema and library. One of their secrets is to have an abundance of private areas around the house, for reading, eating, drinking, sunbathing, or snoozing. The lush gardens of the terrace and courtyards attract a mass of songbirds and also offer plentiful privacy, the two high colonnades, the snug salon with its open fire and its ‘moucharabia’ window overlooking the courtyard.

The magnificent terrace is the place to pass the day. Huge and comfortable with a vast shaded soft seated area high above the city, a rose and organic herb garden, daybeds, corners to make your own and a good sized plunge pool. It has the best views in town, a panorama of the Atlas Mountains and Marrakech’s beautiful mosque, the Koutoubia. At dusk the city lights up and glows around you - you can see the steam rising from the food stalls in the square - and then the moon rises.
Prices from £240 per room per night.
‘Here in these spacious palm groves rising from the desert the traveller can be sure of perennial sunshine, of every comfort and diversion, and can contemplate with ceaseless satisfaction the stately and snow-clad panorama of the Atlas Mountains.’
Winston Churchill
