Marrakesh can boast places to stay that are as sophisticated and cool as anything in the major western cities. For proof of this, just visit the Riad el Fenn, a wonderfully located town house in the Mouasine area of the Medina. It may only be a few minutes away from the bustling main square of Jemma el Fna, but its fotress like walls, over 1 metre thick, shut out all sound. As soon as you pass through its beautiful blue door, you’ll know why its called Fenn. In the local dialogue this word means “cool”, to which in our opinion you can add the prefix “seriously”.
It really is a place of substance and style, yet notwithstanding the plethora of quality modern paintings throughout, arty touches and little details that surely cannot escape the eye - just witness the floor, made not from tiles or wood but real hide, no less – it remains intimate and cosy. This is in part due to the hospitality of Amina, Fatima and Abdelkarim, who look after the El Fenn and whose welcome is as warm as the local weather, but its also to do with the abundance of private spaces, in which guests can endulge in a bit of sunbathing, reading or even a snooze. A great place for this would certainly be in the lush interior garden of the courtyard propped up by four lovely colonnades. Another location is the fabulous terrace which in addition to a rose garden, day beds and a plunge pool, offers some of the best views in town, including those of the Atlas mountains.
There are so many lovely corners that we’ve almost forgotten about the rooms. All the nine suites though individually decorated, share an ample size and come with a bedroom, sitting room, ensuite sculpted bath and king size bed. It all makes for a memorable stay. Six of the rooms come with a fireplaces, all rooms are equipped with cd players. There is a heated 30ft swimming pool with power jet and a hammam with cold pool, massage and treatment room.
Riad El Fenn also offers a daily changing menu (Lunch 30 Euro per person, Dinner 45 Euro per person) with products of their own organic farm, the rest from daily markets. Food is fresh, simple, inventive and eclectic with an emphasize on modern Mediterranean taste. |

Please feel free to send us your personal hotel review on this hotel. You may wonder why all the assessments we have on line are positive. Well, apart from the simple fact that we try to include only what we consider to be the best accommodations, there’s another important reason to bear in mind. Any hotel that receives 3 negative feedbacks is automatically taken out of our selection.
"Our experience had a bit of a rough beginning: I had requested two rooms--one for my husband, children and me and the other for my mother-in-law, but the hotel got the reservation mixed up and neglected to designate a room for my mother-in-law. They were a bit less than apologetic, which was irksome, but once we all got used to the idea of staying in one room together we had a lovely time. In the end, the room was actually large enough to accommodate us all, plus we had a private terrace with a small pool, which enabled us to spread out somewhat. The room was beautiful, the bathroom enormous and gorgeous, and the private terrace with pool was amazing, especially with children. The food here was outstanding--fresh salads and creative dishes of all kinds--they don't kill you with tagine and couscous. The staff couldn't do enough for us and were exceedingly polite. All in all, despite the hiccup at the beginning, a really lovely riyad."
