I can't recommend this riad enough. From the start the service was personable, calm and nothing was too much. The riad is in a great location near the Palace Dar El Bacha, which is central, just before the souks and 2 moinnute round teh corner is a taxi area. Important to add that during the day it is sureally quiet considering what happens a few narrow streets away, also after sundown really relaxed and quiet.
The staff Elsa the manager is lovely and her recommendations for sights and restaurants were spot on for our stay. She seemed to know exactly what we'd want. It also wasn't a problem to re-arrange timings/plans with her /staff. A special mention needs to go out to Fattah and Hamid who were great. They were friendly and caring in all they did, helping us out tremendously when we bought furniture that needed weighing pre flight. They also had a local boy who was available to escort us to/from restaurants in the souk, that we wouldn't normaly be able to find our way back, which made the process all the more relaxing.
The attention to detail in the riad is understated chic. The owners are French are have collected some antiques as well as local ornamnets/pictures that give a trully homely atmosphere, it is a stunning place to stay and the food we had in house was some of the best we had in our 5 days. Also to boot we had an upgrade to the Palmeraie suite which was the icing on the cake. Have a look at their site adn you'll see the understated opulence. The riad currently has 3 rooms and all are unique, roomy and gorgeous, they have a plan to extend it by 4 more suites and to include a pool. All I can say it that we plan to return once that is done with friends/family so that loved ones can also experience the memorable time we had.

Do yourself a favour and stay here at this Riad. It's in a perfect location, just within the Medina walls and you get first class treatment from the staff. The free breakfast on the rooftop terrace is good enough reason to visit alone. Very enjoyable stay.

We are a family of four who landed at the Riad Tarabel as a result of the recent flight delays. A very positive recommendation given to us in the chaos at the airport and it certainly did not disappoint. Beautifully laid out and decorated to a very high and classy standard. Elsa and her staff treated us very conscientiously and nothing was considered a problem. Great tips and advice are also given which ensured that our unplanned sojourn was enjoyed to the full. The intimacy of the Riad perfectly complements the diversity and the mayhem beyond the front door. A magical space to retreat to within the Medina and a real pleasure spending an additional week here. Great memories for our family and great friendships formed with other guests. We will certainly be planning a return visit once the extension to the Riad has been completed. Tarabel is a real jewel in an amazing city.

We've just spent 4 lovely days in Riad Tarabel together with our 4 grown up children.
We were welcomed by our host Elsa who could not have done more to make it a perfect stay. Nothing is too much for her and her extremely kind and helpful staff.
The Riad is very calm, clean and beautifully decorated. The rooms are individual and of exceptional standard.
We had serveral meals there besides a wonderful breakfast such as both lunch and dinner and the food is so fantastic that we thought it was the best place to have a meal in Marrakech.
We could not have wished for a better Riad and will not hesitate to stay here again.
