Lonely Planet "Like a kaftan-clad supermodel on a Vespa, the 72 defines jet-set chic." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This stylish Italianowned riad is very Milan-meets-Marrakech. The house is traditional but the black-and-white colour scheme and sleek furniture all imported."
Rough Guide "This Italian-owned riad is sleek and stylish, with sparse but very tasteful modern decor, palms and banana trees in the courtyard and its own hammam."
Frommer's "Intimate and exclusive with just three rooms and one suite, this slinky Italian-run riad is a temple to minimalist chic." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Book the Riad, a suite with a garden, pool, and outdoor pavilion that's more private villa than hotel room." Full review
Star Service "This undervalued but exceptional Berber-style palace is a winner." Full review
Afar Magazine "Each of the hotel’s five guest riads (typical Moroccan houses) comes with a private garden and heated pool." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A decadent destination hotel combining the va-va-voom French styling of famed architect Jacques Garcia with a Henri Chenot spa." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Cavernous rooms eschew full-on casbah style for subtle hints of colour, Zellige tiles and Mousharabi panels. Spoil yourself in the Henri Chenot spa, dip into the 80sq m swimming pool." Full review
