El Fenn

Marrakech, Morocco

While not necessarily simple to navigate, woven across several buildings in the Marrakech medina, El Fenn lives up to its reputation as the city’s most stylish riad. The labyrinthine layout, dotted with marble fountains, intimate courtyards and even a family of resident tortoises, builds a magical, almost dream-like impression. Hidden among the leafy grounds are 41 rooms and suites, each with their own distinct decor – from a fuschia pink pad to teal-toned suites with stained glass elements, and rooms with ceramic accents and oversized bathtubs – alongside three pools, a traditional Moroccan hammam and a boutique selling the perfect souvenir from local artisans. Up top there’s a more hedonistic vibe at the rooftop restaurant and bar, where locally sourced Moroccan cuisine and cocktails are enjoyed amid sweeping views of the Atlas Mountains and Koutoubia Mosque.
