RIAD BOTANICA, MARRAKECH
CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN DESIGN FUSED WITH CLASSIC MOROCCAN INFLUENCES
Built around a central courtyard, with a decades-old orange tree at its heart, Riad Botanica strives to be a serene space for those looking to escape the hectic pace of modern life. Originally owned by aristocrats, the building has since been passed through a generation of Moroccan families, and is today a welcoming guesthouse with a gorgeous pool and rooftop terrace.
Step inside the hotel, and you’ll be met with contemporary Australian design fused with classic Moroccan influences, with the exceptional craftsmanship of local artisans showcased throughout.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”
From our very first phone call, The Ultimate Travel Company provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.
“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.
“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
