Rough Guide "For those who can’t decide between a riad, a five-star or a boutique hotel, this is an extremely stylish blend of all three: riad style, boutique personal attention and five-star facilities."
Star Service "Luxury and sophistication collide in this stunning example of a traditional riad built within the past decade." Full review
