Fodor's Expert Review L'Hotel
41, Derb Sidi Lahcen ou Ali, Marrakesh, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco
The ambience at this hotel, opened by celebrated British designer Jasper Conran, is that of a stylish and elegant retreat within the medina, where peace and tranquillity reign supreme. The riad is set within a former 19th-century Ciadal palace and has five spacious suites around a lush central patio, with a small swimming pool. The property is decorated with antiques and artworks from the owner's private collection and, as would be expected, there is great attention to detail in the interior finishes and furnishings. Four-poster beds are made up with hand-finished Egyptian cotton linen surrounded by billowing white voile drapes. While all suites overlook the garden courtyard, request one with a private balcony or terrace. The on-site restaurant serves Moroccan cuisine either in the elegant dining room or on your own private terrace. There are no TVs and children are not accepted.
The sun-drenched roof terrace is ideal for afternoon tea or sunset cocktails.
