My daughter arrived the day before me and texted to say ' I think I have died and gone to heaven'. and when I arrived at Riad Farnatchi I understood why. A little piece of paradise in the centre of the old town, 5% star service though not at all intrusive, a wonderful relaxed atmosphere, fabulous accommodation, delicious food, sunroof... More

I stayed at Riad Farnatchi in April 2013 for a design inspiration trip focused around Marrakech. My initial reaction was that I didn't need to bother with the rest of the city as there is enough inspiration in the road alone. From the intricately ornate plaster work to the architecture, furniture and art work - it was all beautiful. The... More

We spent five days at the Riad Farnatchi recently and were sorry to leave. The riad itself (actually five 'riads' joined together, so a network of secluded courtyards) is very beautiful with just 9 suites. Our room was enormous, with its own private terrace on the roof above, a sitting area and a wonderful wood fire - which we did... More

Beautifully restored interior with delightful shady courtyards and wonderfully decorated and appointed suites. James, the proprieter could not have been more welcoming and accommodating and the service and staff were simply first class. Highly recommended. (Tip for the riad – there was a lack of space for suitcases in the bedroom which perplexed us at times, but that didn’t distract... More

I would thoroughly recommend this Riad in Marrakech. I spent five nights there recently and found everything excellent. All members of staff were always pleasant, courteous, friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was delicious, our suite was wonderful and the whole decor and ambience of the Riad was in thoroughly in keeping with local... More

My partner and I are frequent visitors to Morocco and in particular Marrakesh, and have stayed in many Moroccan Riads and hotels. Riad Farnatchi is by far the best of all the Riads we have stayed in Marrakesh. Tucked into the craziness of the Medina, once you are inside the door it is overwhelmingly peaceful, tranquil and absolutely beautiful. We... More

Riad Farnatchi, what a stunning hotel. Located at the heart of Marrakech medina minutes from the souks, yet a haven of peace and tranquility, we were warmly welcomed by James the owner.. Superbly decorated and spotlessly clean rooms, log fires if requested, dining experiences to die for, and wonderful smiling staff. These along with James's recommendations for desert trips, gardens... More

Imagine stepping out of your cab (sent by your hosts, of course) because the streets are too narrow to continue into a cacophonous movie set. Your guide and staff trundle the luggage onto a hand cart and lead you on through dun colored walled passageways to a black door which opens to a quiet, cool, tranquil oasis...a tiled moorish courtyard...

This was our first stay in Marrakech. Getting out of the taxi into the manic bustle of a market square for the 300 yard walk down narrow lanes to the Riad was an assault on the senses which melted away as we passed through the anonymous doorway. The inner courtyards and ground floor communal rooms are cool, quiet and beautifully... More

Our visit to the Riad Farnachi was fantastic! The Riad was calm and comfortable – a real sanctuary from the frenetic medina just the other side of the main door . The aesthetic is restored in impressive traditional detail, yet the riad is full of the little modern luxuries you’d expect from a top hotel. The bedrooms were unique in... More
