Hotel 72 Riad (Marrakech, Morocco)

Tucked away in one of Medina’s best areas, a stone’s throw away from Dar El Bacha palace, 72 is a luxury boutique hotel, a pint-sized modernist haven, offering timeless Italian style, courtesy of its creative Italian owner, and seductive atmosphere. Originally an ancient palace, dating back to 1920, this peaceful haven is tastefully decorated. The gurgling fountain amidst palm trees and banana trees forms the centrepiece of the flowering courtyard. Nothing has been spared to ensure the utmost luxury and comfort of the guests: fully and sumptuously renovated during summer 2017, the stylish rooms, impeccably decorated, could not be more different in shape and decor, from the cozy cedar ceiling of the smallest classic room to the opulent seven meters-high walls Suite, perfect for romantic stay. In a city replete with excellent accommodations, 72 distinguishes itself sublimely also for the roof terrace, one of the highest in Marrakech with a breathtaking 360° views on the Medina and on the majestic Atlas Mountains bordering the city. Finally, the restaurant at the 72, La Table du Riad, is well known in international guides.
