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.
