Hipmarrakech.com - English speaking riads in Morocco

The beautiful and elegant Riad Shemsi has been created from an original ancient house in the heart of the Royal Kasbah. From its terrace one has a stunning panoramic view of Marrakech. Riad Shemsi is a haven of tranquility; its large courtyard containing a substantial pool surrounded by traditional arabesque arches, antique and vintage tapis, palms and distinguished Marrekchi furnishings. The stunning chambers are all ensuite, revealing traditional coloured tadelakt plasterwork, finely worked mirrors and contemporary art. The beautiful salon with its open fireplace and elegant cedar fenestration is a wonderful place in which to savour the delights of the celebrated Shemsi cuisine and excellent Moroccan wines. Alternatively, take your evening meal on the atmospheric terrace with its subtle Moroccan lighting. The Shemsi staff are warm, attentive, discrete and ever welcoming.

Riad Shemsi is located just minutes from the Saadien Tombs and the Royal Palace, and within a short distance of the wonderful myriad Souks and Jemaa El Fna.

*Regrettably this property is not suitable for children under the age of fourteen, due to the unguarded pool and elevated terraces.

"If you are lucky enough to book a room at Riad Shemsi…well, your journey will be extraordinary. Why? because they will take care of you like one of the family, because the riad itself is amazing with its fine decoration and precious details everywhere. The sunset on the Riad's terrace is one thing you could not ever forget. I would recommend Riad Shemsi to everyone: from young couples to women who love to travel alone. It's the perfect location to enjoy the real flavour of Marrakech."

BENEDETTA ROSSI Elle Magazine (Italia)
