EL FENN, MARRAKECH

Carved cedar ceilings, original tiling and locally-made furniture…El Fenn is a quintessentially Moroccan riad, with a contemporary twist, in the heart of historic Marrakech.

Set close to the Bab El Ksour in the street of palaces, just a five-minute walk from the Djemaa El Fna, El Fen is perfectly situated for taking in all the city has to offer. The rooftop plunge pool is the perfect spot to enjoy Marrakech’s skyline and take a relaxed, retrospective view of your day spent in the vibrant souks, alleyways and grand square. From the pool, you can see the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque, and hear a muezzin call the faithful to prayer.

Full of tree-filled courtyards and cushioned alcoves, El Fenn was once one of Marrakech’s great private homes and retains much of its grace and atmosphere. The 31 rooms and suites are very individual in style, though all share the hotel’s signature blend of mid-century European furniture and traditional Moroccan design. Delicious, plant-based food is made from the freshest ingredients sourced in the markets and from local farms, and served on the rooftop terrace.
