Marrakech the city of senses
Riad Farnatchi
Created from three small riads, this sensual oasis of calm in the heart of Marrakech's throbbing Medina and is the creation of award-winning British hotelier Jonathan Wix. It feels like you've stepped into a beautiful individual private house. The first of the two courtyards is dominated by a bubbling seven metre pool scattered with rose petals. Each of the five suites has its own unique character, locally made furniture combine with sleek lighting and crisp decor to create a cool, comfortable space. Each has satellite flat-screened TV, stereo CD players, internet connection - there's even a selection of DVDs and CDs.
Riad Farnatchi has its own Berber cook who creates each individually-created menu, while the roof garden has a barbecue and sunloungers. There is a beautiful white marble hammam where you can enjoy a Turkish bath or massage. Riad Farnatchi has attracted an A list celebrity guest list as the visitor book reveals. Small and stunningly stylish.
Riad Dama
Riad Dama is a true haven of peace nestled away in the very heart of Marrakech’s legendary Jema El Fna square.

Arranged around the central patio, the lounges and guest-rooms open on to a magnificent view of the swimming-pool, the sky and the city walls.

Moorish architectures is much in evidence with zelliges and marble floors, ceilings and doors of carved cedar decorated with coloured motifs, curios and fine canvases.
Riad Kais

At night the fountains, lanterns and fireplaces add magic to your experience. The decoration of each of the eight rooms and bathrooms is exquisitely different and shows the authenticity and maturity of the local Moroccan artists.
