Nestled in the historic 10th-century Medina in Marrakech is an oasis of opulence and refinement, Riad Botanica. Recently unveiled as a captivating boutique hotel, this traditional Moroccan dwelling underwent meticulous renovations, preserving its authentic charm while curating four large deluxe guest suites and a two-bedroom apartment with a unique colour palette based on the healing properties of plants.
Adorned with Australia’s Florence Broadhurst’s Arabian Bird prints and botanicals, custom Zellige tiles and traditional hand-carved timber doors create a vibrant yet harmonious atmosphere in every room. Guests are welcomed by their host amidst the delicate scent of orange blossom wafting through the air, the Art Deco reception unfolding as a symphony of elegance, weaving together the vibrant tapestry of Moroccan heritage and contemporary design.
In the centre courtyard stands a century-old orange tree, serving as both the muse and the heart of the Riad, inspiring the name and essence of Riad Botanica. The intention is clear – to craft a haven of pure luxury and serenity where guests can reconnect and ground themselves amidst the calming embrace of nature.
Riad Botanica offers guests the opportunity to relax by the crystal clear plunge pool under the shade of the majestic orange tree, birds chirping, adding their song to the feel-good vibes of the Riad’s own playlist. Guests can also ascend to the roof terrace where sunbeds and loungers await, surrounded by panoramic views of the sun-kissed rooftops of Marrakech. A culinary journey awaits, with breakfast featuring a range of local dishes and continental pastries, with two-course meals for lunch and dinner also available.
Riad Botanica has already been featured on the official Moroccan tourism board social media and played host to a variety of luxury bloggers, as well as being shot to be featured in well-known interior design magazines across Europe.
Angela and Mohamed Mellak, founders of Riad Botanica, invite guests to come and experience this boutique hidden gem, located just 3 hours door to door from London or Manchester. With over 285 days of warm sunshine in the cold of winter, Marrakech is a dream destination to explore the culture, vibrancy, beauty and treasures that await.
