Riad Laurence Olivier lived up to our New Years eve 4 day getaway....fabulous beautiful home from home with every need catered for by the beautiful host Madame Laurence who flew in from France solely to ensure our every indulgence was catered for......great New Years Eve party with the other guests who became our friends over bottles of champagne compliments of our host.

Marrakech is a holiday destination not for the feint hearted....hustle and bussell just outside the door with a mixture of luxury cars, battered taxis, mopeds and donkeys......but it is an experience offset by the luxury and comfort of the riad to return to to recharge our batteries...to enjoy a glass of wine in the dining room or sit on the roof terrace sipping mint tea and watching the sun set.

If you want the most wonderful indulgent escape...choose Marrakech......and stay in a hotel that will blow you away.....

We spent a week at this Riad spending my 50th anniversary together with friends so we basically were on our own. Not only that Mme Laurence is an absolute great host and more than eager to fullfill any wishes you may have also the personnel there is more than friendly, open and very helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay there by - amongst others - experiencing a cooking lesson by the fabulous cook and her assistants. Mme. Laurence organized a surprise party for my birthday which did not leave anything open. Music, dinner and other events I should not elaborate on (it was and will be a surprise to anyone facing it) made this evening a very special one which I will never forget. The inside of the Riad is like a fairytale and tells stories about all the place ont his earth where Mme. Laurence has been. With very lovely and amicable details it makes this place outstanding compared to any otehr Riad I have seen in Marrakech. So shoudl your plans call to go to Morocco I strongly suggest to stay at this wonderful place - and you will never forget it. Many thanks to Mme. Lauence and the Team at Riad Laurence Olivier.
