L’Hôtel Marrakech
Owned by British designer Jasper Conran, L’Hôtel Marrakech is an elegant sanctuary hidden in a secluded corner of the Medina. Its magnificent garden surrounded by orange and jasmine trees easily distinguishes this elegant riad from its peers. You will notice Conran’s touches in every corner of the hotel. Be sure to have a dinner in the lemon-yellow striped hall, where the French windows open to the fragrant garden.
