The charming Riad de l’Orangeraie is located in the Mouassine district of the old Médina. This beautiful house has two courtyards – one with fountains, flowers and trees (Côté Jardin); the other with a small blue mosaic swimming pool and hamman (Côté Oasis).

Around these patios are seven bedrooms, each decorated in warm earth tones and a modern, minimalist style. There are three suites and four standard rooms named after spices. (Paprika, Muscade and Coraindre for the suites; Safran, Gingembre, Cannelle and Curcuma for the standard rooms.) The bathrooms are immaculate: all clean, smooth surfaces and the facilities in perfect working order.

One of the most stunning features of the riad is its roof top terrace, with views over the Medina that stretch as far as the Atlas Mountains. A great place to sip one’s mint tea! The terrace has lots of hidden corners for a discreet spot of sunbathing or to take a romantic meal prepared on demand and to your taste.

Riad staff are attentive, friendly and discreet, playing no small part in creating a familial and relaxed atmosphere.

Well-located for further excursions into the city – which the concierge will happily organise – the riad is only 5 minutes from the main square Djema El Fna.

Recently renovated by French owner Christine Rio, Le Tobsil is set in a beautiful old riad in the Medina. Romantic, intimate, and richly decorated, the restaurant is considered one of Marrakech's finest. Guests are seated on two levels around an open courtyard, treated to the hypnotic songs of local gnawa musicians. The food is equally sumptous: a five course Morrocan meal, replete with vegetarian mezes, pastillas, tagine, couscous, pastries and fresh fruit. The set menu is 600DH a head, including apertifs and wine.
