Accessibility at Riad Botanica

Inclusive by Design

Luxury Meets Thoughtful Inclusion in the Heart of Marrakech At Riad Botanica, we believe that everyone should experience beauty, comfort, and adventure. From the very beginning, accessibility has been at the heart of our vision — not as an afterthought, but as a core value. We are not your typical riad. Our boutique property was carefully designed to ensure that every guest, regardless of mobility, can explore and enjoy the magic of Marrakech with confidence and comfort. Travel should be open to everyone. Over the years, we have become a much-loved destination for families visiting Marrakech, and we believe the same spirit of welcome should extend to guests with accessibility needs. Disability should never be a disadvantage when it comes to discovering the world.

A place to escape and a peace to embrace.

Riad Botanica

At Riad Botanica we currently offer: A shower chair available for guests who require additional support Rooms that have been tested by wheelchair users to assess comfort and practicality Assistance arranging transport options and trusted local partners to support accessible experiences in Marrakech Personal guidance based on local knowledge and real guest experience

Riad Botanica may not be suitable for everyone with mobility challenges, as every traveller’s needs are different. Our aim is to clearly share what we provide so you can make an informed decision about whether our riad is the right fit for your stay. Here to Support Your Stay We would be delighted to speak with you directly about your individual needs.

Morocco boasts a culture of inclusive travel

Daily we strive to reflect this spirit in everything we do here at Riad Botanica. Given accessibility is something that touches all of our lives at some point be it through injury, illness, or simply as we age. Many of us will experience mobility or access challenges. With this in mind, we are driven to create a space where guests feel supported, understood, included and comfortable during their stay. To ensure we provide honest and useful information, we have worked directly with wheelchair users who have tested our rooms and spaces. We are delighted to share that they gave Riad Botanica their tick of approval, helping us understand how our spaces function from a wheelchair user's perspective.

We have multiple accessible ground-floor rooms. The Pomegranate Room & Nigella. The Pomegranate Room in particular, is a serene space featuring handcrafted cedar doors that open to a generous two meters, allowing smooth wheelchair access. Inside, the bathroom is fully accessible with roll-in showers, supportive grab bars & space for seamless manoeuvrability. Even the bed layout can be adjusted to guests' needs.

Accessible Guide Of Marrakech

We are working on a guide to Inclusive Access in Marrakech designed to help visitors easily find clear and reliable accessibility information. The guide will offer practical tips, thoughtful guidance, and meaningful support for travellers of all abilities, including families with neurodivergent needs and those requiring wheelchair accessibility. Curated by locals, the guide will highlight trusted partners and experiences in Marrakech that are committed to providing additional care, understanding, and accessible environments for guests.

Small Team, Big Heart

As an independent boutique riad, we offer personalised attention with deep care and flexibility.

A Step Free Riad

A priority from the design phase was mobility access. Flow from the front door into the property through wide accessible doors - not as a retrofit.
