"Extravagant and extravagantly expensive... a vast oasis ten minutes' drive from town where luxury hotels are currently springing up like palm trees."
Fodor's
"Rising like a Byzantine, 14th-century Kasbah from the Palmery and surrounded by its own moat and acres of grounds, this hotel is the last word in sumptuous, escape-it-all luxury." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The rooms, called Harem Suites, are enormous—so big, in fact, that they swallow up rather than show off their handsome furnishings." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler
"Earthen walls surround this lushly landscaped 12-suite and one apartment compound in the middle of a vast, uninhabited, palm-planted plain 20 minutes outside Marrakech." Full review
Afar Magazine
"This retreat in four-hectare grounds in Marrakech's Palmeraie was purpose-built three years ago with perfect attention to detail."

"A serene, whitewashed riad with large rooms fitted with contemporary furnishings. Its only drawback is the location 15 minutes from Jemaa El Fna."
Jetsetter

Independent
"Amid the squawking chickens and tiny food shops in the less touristy, eastern part of the Medina known as Issebtinne, Riad El Mezouar offers peace and relaxation within this 17th-century former palace"
