Riad Monceau, Marrakech

Located just off Djemaa El Fna square of Marrakech, the luxury traditional Riad Monceau is a fantastic option whether you are recovering from a flight or exploring the city further. The original Riad dates back to the 18th Century and is a beautiful example of Hispano-Moorish architecture. Following a renovation in 2002, the exquisite building now boasts luxury amenities and comforts. There are only ten rooms, all featuring jacuzzi baths. The owner is an artist and you will see examples of her work around the building, designed to complement the traditional mosaics and intricate reliefs. The refreshing pool is paved with Carrara marble and has views of the Koutoubia mosque. The luxury spa is a highlight with massage rooms, a gorgeous Hamman and a roof-top jacuzzi terrace. Food is a key focus at the Riad Monceau and guests can participate in MarrakChef cooking workshops to delve deeper into the delicious cuisine of Morocco served by celebrity Chef Rachida Sahnoune at the on-site restaurant. ***Guests staying at the hotel get a 20% off on the gastronomic restaurant’s tasting menu and a 15% off on all cooking classes.
