Riad le Clos des Arts

Just 100m from one of the busy passageways that lead visitors and traders into the busy market place in the centre of Marrakesh is a place of tranquility and serenity. We were met at the taxi stand about 200m from the hotel our luggage placed in a trolley and escorted the short distance to the hotel. We arrived at an unimposing brown door which opened at the ring of the bell and we were transported into history. soft music was playing inthe background with the soft trickling of water from a wall mounted feature. The architecture resemblent of Morocan history and as we to discover later designed by the owners, Giorgina & Massimo. We took mint tea with biscuits and were showed where we were on the map and given focus points to help steer us back to the hotel, when we went exploring . Our ensuite room was stunning with wooden shuttered windows and a large comfortable bed. The team felt like a family and nothing was too much trouble, with a great breakfast on the roof terrace and dinner if required. For my wife and I it was one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in and look forward to a return in the future.

Beautiful, tranquil. A group of 4 friends travelled for 3 weeks in Morocco to at least 8 cities. Everywhere we went our stays were gorgeous and lovely but this riad is a cut above. The staff treats you like family. The attention to detail is extraordinary. There are probably 3,000 riads to choose from in Marrakech. Do yourself and favor and book this.

Our stay at Riad le Clos des Arts was the best part of our 10-day trip through multiple countries. The location is unbelievably impressive and soothing. The hosts were not only helpful, but made us feel like we were truly cared for. We would go back to Marrakech and stay again in a heartbeat…and in fact would stay with there again just to be able to spend a few days in the Riad itself. This is one of the best…if not the best…places we have ever stayed. Thank you to the hosts and staff….

The Riad le Clos des Arts is situated in the walled area of Marrakech and is ideal for exploring the Souks and Mosques and gardens and palaces that give Marrakech its unique vibe. Although a short walk from the nearest taxi point, that was no problem because the hotel kindly sent a member of staff to carry our cases back to the hotel. On arrival Massimo sat with us and gave us a map of the area whilst explaining the best things to see of interest and those to not bother with, which was informative. There is a lovely rooftop terrace where we had a fulfilling breakfast of fruits yoghurt pastries etc every morning and also an area for sunbathing with a dipping pool for when it gets too hot. The hotel also provides an excellent Hammam onsite which I would recommend. An evening 3 course meal can be arranged at the hotel if desired and is traditional food cooked with a different daily menu posted in the foyer. The rooms are mainly arranged around the courtyard of the Riad and are spacious and perfectly adequate. All in all I can’t fault the hotel and it’s staff, everyone was exceedingly pleasant and helpful. If returning to Marrakech I would happily use Riad le Clos des Arts again.

Perfect location a few minutes from the main square and close to places to visit including quality restaurants. Attention to detail, everything being of quality. The owners made us feel at home with tips and ideas on how to visit the city and have a wonderfull time

The staff were fabulous at this beautiful Riad. Nothing was too much trouble. Evening meal was beautiful and we were looked after impeccably from start to finish. Very friendly and eager to make us feel welcome. Would not hesitate to return or recomend .
