The Pomegranate King Room Is located on the ground floor and enjoys direct access to the central courtyard and pool. The room is bright and modern with pops of Pink, Geen and Blue whilst celebrating the space's original high ceilings and cedar doors and windows, decorated in modern bright colours with an Australian Art Deco flair.
Once you enter the doors, you will see the signature Florence Broadhurst design aesthetic, with an iconic Australian designer. Finished with stunning blush Portuguese marble floors, creating a soft and luxurious foundation for the space complete with bench at the foot of the bed, complemented fabric that matching statement wallpaper. The king bed offers generous comfort, creating a beautiful and relaxing space to unwind in the heart of Marrakech.
The bathroom in our Pomegranate Room is finished in striking floor-to-ceiling green onyx, creating a space that feels both luxurious and calming. Thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind, the shower area offers over 90cm of width, allowing comfortable access for a roll-in shower setup when using the wheeled shower chair. The generous layout provides space to move with ease while maintaining the elegance and style expected from a boutique riad. It’s a beautiful example of how luxury and accessibility can coexist, ensuring guests enjoy both comfort and thoughtful design during their stay.
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!
Without any doubt, my recommendation is to stay in a riad in the Medina of Marrakech, since you are within walking distance of all the places you will visit in... read more the city.
Staying at the Riad Botanica, gave me the possibility to meet first hand the Moroccan people, talk to them, discover their culture and all in an almost family atmosphere.
Riad Botanica is an experience for all five senses that makes staying at Riad Botanica a unique stay:
- Smell: From the moment you enter you are overcome by the citrus scent of the orange tree in the middle of the courtyard.
- Sight: Its impeccable decoration makes you want to discover every corner of the Riad: its patio, its swimming pool, its rooftop...
- Touch: The comfort of its beds and cushions, the softness of its sheets and towels, makes you feel at home (or better hehe).
- Taste: The delicious traditional food they prepare makes you discover Morocco in the quietness of your accommodation.
- Hearing: The only sound you hear in the Riad, are the birds fluttering around the courtyard and the chill out music that plays discreetly in the background.
Thanks to the location of the Riad Botanica, you can reach all the sites with a pleasant walk. It is less than 10 minutes walk from Le Jardin Secret, 15 minutes from the Koutoubia Mosque or the Jemaa el-Fna Square and about 20 minutes from the most modern area of Marrakech.
Absolute gem in the centre of Marrakech! - Absolute gem in the centre of Marrakech! Beautifully decorated, the best beds you will in the whole of Morocco, and very attentive staff.
