Riad Porte Royale

West of the beautiful Mosque of Sidi-bel-Abbes, patron saint of Marrakech, Riad Porte Royale is in a friendly residential quarter of hidden mansions, palaces and boutique hotels, which has an authentic feel, and is ideal for the discerning visitor. Near the ramparts, it is easily accessible by car, but only a few minutes stroll from fine restaurants and the hurly-burly of the tourist trail that leads to nearby monuments and along the souks to Djemma el Fna square.

Dating back to about 1750, Riad Porte Royale has five bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Restored by master craftsmen, traditional finishes enhance the clean lines, and features such as the thick walls have been retained. In the luminous courtyard, the dipping pool mirrors the dramatic portico and the ancient 'porte royale'. Standing nearby, a single grapefruit tree adds to a sense of harmony and tranquillity.

Textiles, rugs, and objets d'art from the old caravan routes of Asia and Africa accent the white bedrooms. Elsewhere, there are several corners to relax in, from the b'hou off the courtyard, to the upstairs loggia with its fireplace and pretty window arches, or the tent on the roof terrace with a view of nearby palms.


Please note:
There is a supplement of £15 to add an extra bed in any of the rooms below.
