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!

  Riad Botanica - Riad Boranica is a magical oasis in the heart of Marrakesh. A beautiful fusion of art deco and Moroccan design. Stunning bedrooms where you will sink into sumptuous... read more beds after a magical day exploring the exotic Marrakesh. This is high end living. Fatima is the most wonderful cook where you while away a magnificent meal on the rooftop. Angela and Mo are superb hosts and will go the extra mile to ensure you have a fantastic stay. The Riad is perfect in every way

  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!
