The Riad Farnatchi was a beautiful oasis within the walls of the medina. Our room was very comfortable and spacious with a lot of great amenities (Molten Brown toiletries, wi-fi access, robes, etc.). The staff was very gracious and helpful - always ready with a smile and a helpful suggestion. Every morning, we had a delicious breakfast of fruit, yogurt... More

The Riad Farnachi, is a magical place to stay, chill & dream about floating back into the past of this amazing city! The hospitality I can only say is triple AAA and our host James Wix and his Team are just the most friendly, professional, nothing is too much for them to make your stay unforgettable!

We chose the Farnachi as I liked the look of the rooms, especially the room with the sunken bath. When i emailed to book they said they would be happy to reserve that room,.The Riad's private car collected us from Marrakech airport, where inside the car was a bottle of cold water and frozen towels to refresh us. When the... More

I have traveled to 54 countries and stayed at numerous premium hotels. This hotel is by far the best hotel I ever seen. This is not a hotel, but rather a memorable experience of Marrakesh. From the moment you arrive at the airport and are picked up by the friendly professional staff, to the moment they say good bye to... More

We arrived with high expectations and Riad Farnatchi does not disappoint. The Riad is in the heart of the oldest part of the medina. You will be greeted and your luggage placed in a wheel barrel for the short walk past the stalls to the property. You are steps away from the activity of the souks and markets. The service... More

My daughter arrived the day before me and texted to say ' I think I have died and gone to heaven'. and when I arrived at Riad Farnatchi I understood why. A little piece of paradise in the centre of the old town, 5% star service though not at all intrusive, a wonderful relaxed atmosphere, fabulous accommodation, delicious food, sunroof... More

I stayed at Riad Farnatchi in April 2013 for a design inspiration trip focused around Marrakech. My initial reaction was that I didn't need to bother with the rest of the city as there is enough inspiration in the road alone. From the intricately ornate plaster work to the architecture, furniture and art work - it was all beautiful. The... More

We spent five days at the Riad Farnatchi recently and were sorry to leave. The riad itself (actually five 'riads' joined together, so a network of secluded courtyards) is very beautiful with just 9 suites. Our room was enormous, with its own private terrace on the roof above, a sitting area and a wonderful wood fire - which we did... More

Beautifully restored interior with delightful shady courtyards and wonderfully decorated and appointed suites. James, the proprieter could not have been more welcoming and accommodating and the service and staff were simply first class. Highly recommended. (Tip for the riad – there was a lack of space for suitcases in the bedroom which perplexed us at times, but that didn’t distract... More
