- Riad and Spa Esprit Du Maroc
Riad & Spa Esprit Maroc is located in the heart of Marrakech's medina, a 10-minute walk from Jemaa el Fna square. It's near the Marrakech Museum, Ben Youssef Madrasa, and Dar Bacha Palace, in the prestigious Zaouit Lahdar district, one of the oldest areas of the medina. The riad features twelve rooms, three patios (one with a swimming pool), a Moroccan restaurant, a spa, and a fitness room. Guests can also enjoy the rooftop garden. The refined decor creates a tranquil atmosphere of comfort, luxury, and impeccable service.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Beautiful stay in a wonderful Riad . Staff were tremendous ( especially Yousuf and Hassan ) . Highly recommended
An incredible stay. Sylvie is so elegant and a wonderful host in the beautiful riad. The location is superb. Walking distance to the souk. The staff is so kind and hard working and polite. Will surely come back soon
Fantastic Riad in a great location. The staff were superb and looked after us very well. The atmosphere and ambiance of the place was amazing, very tranquil and relaxing. Rooms were great, clean and very comfortable. WiFi and aircon were great!
Absolutely stunning, authentic Riad and lovely staff. Beautiful, peaceful central areas and bedrooms. So tranquil inside after the bustle of the Medina, yet almost opposite Ben Youssef Madrasa and very close to the souks. It’s hidden down a long, narrow, covered passage way, that you will need to stoop along occasionally if you are tall but once you enter the Riad door … wow! Definitely book a transfer direct with the Riad to help you find it on the first day as taxis can’t get to it - then you’ll be met a few minutes walk away & your luggage carried for you. You can breakfast (flat breads, yoghurt, jams, mint tea) on the roof terrace listening to bird song. We also had lunch by the ground floor Riad pool one day - lamb tagine, chicken couscous, white wine - all delicious. After a full day exploring we’d often end it relaxing on the rooftop listening to the call to prayer. Very atmospheric. Several excursions can be booked through the Riad - we booked the Medina tour, which helped us get our bearings. One other tip - yes use your phone app maps to navigate, but also video your walk to the Riad once during daylight hours - it will help you coming back at night!
A beautiful, peaceful, elegant, traditional and well positioned Riad virtually next door to the Ben Youseff Mosque, and a 12 minute walk through the souks to get to Jemaa el-Fnaa. After walking (and stooping if you're tall) through the lanes to get to the front door, you'll be amazed at the contrast that lies behind. The staff were also so helpful and kind throughout our stay.
