I am sure that when you see pictures of the courtyard of this Riad you will fall in love with this location. That's what happened to me. But it is... read more not only the central area with that centenary orange tree the only thing to highlight of this space.

I have been several times in Marrakech and the area where Riad Botanica is located is perfect. Many of the interesting things that Marrakech has to offer are a stone's throw from this Riad and this is a detail to take into account.

The decoration of the rooms is a delightful mix of Moroccan and Australian art deco styles. The owners are an Australian-Moroccan couple, Angela and Mohamed. Mohamed will explain with a map the main places to visit if this is your first time in Marrakech and makes sure you will not miss anything during your stay. He helped me by also suggesting me different transportation possibilities for the destinations in Morocco where I wanted to go on this trip.

The bed in my room was super comfortable and the lamps cast a super special light in the room, making it very cozy. The shower is wonderful, with lots of pressure, just the way I like it, and in the bathroom you have candles and scent sticks.

Coming back from touring the area, I tried some delicious snacks on the rooftop of the Riad right at the golden hour in Marrakech. The sky suddenly transformed during sunset leaving a very special atmosphere with spectacular colors. The next day, I had breakfast on the same rooftop and it was epic. Don't look any further. If in your search or through recommendations you have stumbled upon Riad Botanica, do yourself a favor and book it, it will not leave you indifferent!

As for the decoration and aesthetics, it is one of those places where you can clearly see that there is a lot of love and attention to detail in every corner of the space. And as for the service, the owners understand perfectly the meaning of the term hospitality elevated to the maximum expression, congratulations for that!

Many thanks to all Angela, Mohamed and team for your warm welcome and kindness. I hope to visit you again soon and I wish you the best of luck with this project, you deserve it!

  The most amazing Riad to stay in Marrakech! - We stayed at the brand new Riad Botanica for 3 nights before Christmas and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience
Everything was perfect since the moment we... read more arrived at the airport in Marrakech and got picked up by their driver.
The Riad itself is absolutely STUNNING and the team is just the best, always with a smile on their faces and ready to help with anything you may need.
Plus the delicious home made food cooked by Fatima is simply to die for!
Also the location is right in the heart of the Medina and super convenient to explore the main sights by walking.
Overall we had the most memorable time in Marrakech and we would like to thank again Angela, Mohamed and the whole team for making us feel at home ☺️

  Oh. My. Goodness! If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I have stayed many places around the world, and this has been my favorite, by... read more far. The owner and host, Mohamed is so kind and friendly, and makes sure you are well taken care of. As I was a solo female traveler on my first trip to Morocco, the kind gestures made me feel safe, including that my first day, he called to check on me as I had been exploring the city all day long.

The interior decoration is absolutely breathtaking, and the sound of the sweet birds in the courtyard make it seem like the perfect peaceful respite from the bustling city. The rooms are gorgeous, the showers amazing.

Also- the staff deserves 10 stars! Fatima, the chef cooks an amazing breakfast each day. It was literally my favorite part of each day! The lunch and dinner were also amazing at Riad Botanica! (Even tho I tried other restaurants in the city, by far - Fatima’s cooking was my favorite). And the sweet housekeeping lady, Sanaa was also wonderfully kind and always smiling. 🙂

The rooftop is beautiful and such a peaceful place to read a book and lounge.

Location is perfect in my opinion! Close enough to walk to most of the museums. Walk to the souks. Yet, I did appreciate that is was not too close to the Jemaa el-Fnaa square- which is a very busy place. I could still walk there in about 25mins

Thank you truly, Mohamed and staff!
