Perfection at every turn - Riad Botanica is a space of beauty and culture with exceptional service and a fabulous location. No detail has been overlooked from the doors and wallpaper, to bed... read more linens; to the food, everything is impeccable. Being minutes from Dar El Bâcha and the rest of the Medina is icing on this beautiful cake.
Highly recommend!

  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!

  My second visit in as many months…and already planning on returning! - I have just returned from my second trip to Riad Botanica in as many months, and had a simply wonderful time.

I will never get over just how beautiful... read more the Riad is. And how good it smells! The Riad is absolute luxury throughout, from the swimming pool, the rooftop, all the communal areas to the 5* bedrooms.

Speaking of the bedrooms, they are wonderfully appointed - with the most comfortable beds and softest sheets I have ever experienced in a hotel. The bathrooms are lovely, with powerful showers with seemingly endless hot water. And the toiletries are not your run-of-the-mill hotel toiletries; they are luxury through and through.

The breakfasts are delicious and generous, with the freshly pressed orange juice always being a highlight. You will leave breakfast well-fuelled for the day ahead!

The neighbourhood is super safe and full of friendly locals. A ten minute walk will take you to the heart of the Médina, with restaurants and shops galore.

Special thanks to Mo and Angela for all the care and support, from arranging a car service to collect us from the airport, always spot-on restaurant recommendations, and for making my husband’s birthday extra special.

We will see you again soon, Riad Botanica!
