Palais Riad Lamrani

This is an absolutely stunning Riad. I cannot praise it enough. The courtyard is beautiful and full of trees and plants. The restaurant shares this space and is a wonderful experience to have breakfast, lunch or dinner among the trees and plants. We stayed in room Orientalle and it is just incredible. There is a balcony over the pool and plenty of room to relax. The artwork is also stunning, not just in the room but all over the riad. It is like staying in a museum. There are also many patios to relax in although we could not make full use of them as the weather wasn't great. The real stars of the Riad are the staff. They are simply amazing. Ahmed looked after us so well. Sorted out our transfers and organised a tour of Marrakech, booked a restaurant for is. Would always ask if we were okay was always ready with a tip or helping on what to do or where to go. When he wasn't there Khalid did the same. Khalid is also very friendly and helpful. It was great having them in reception just before you went out. As we had come to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary Ahmed had decorated the room with petals and had also arranged a bunch of roses for my wife. He also organised a special vegetarian dinner in the restaurant for us Housekeeping led by Latifa were great and the room was cleaned very well and repeatedly decorated with rose petals. Breakfast is a traditional Moroccan one and is very good. The star is however Oussama, our waiter. He looked after us every day and insisted we try everything and made sure we had a good breakfast. He is a very genuine person and truly wants you to have a good time. When we had dinner at the restaurant one evening he made sure we couldn't eat another crumb. A truly kind and sweet person I cannot praise the Riad and staff enough. It is not the cheapest place but for my wife and I it was worth every penny. The memories we have will last for ever. We will return

We were utterly shocked at checkout to be presented with an additional €16 minibar charge that had never been clearly disclosed to us. We have absolutely no issue paying for minibar items when charges are clearly communicated. The issue here was the complete lack of transparency. We have stayed in hotels all over the world, including many in Morocco, and chargeable minibars always come with a clearly and obviously displayed price list, menu or signage. It is always crystal clear but at Palais Riad Lamrani, we could not find any such indication. During check-in, Ahmed hurriedly showed us around the room and specifically pointed out the minibar, saying only, "This is the minibar," before moving on. He never mentioned that the items carried additional charges. Ironically, if the minibar had not even been pointed out to us, we likely would not have touched anything inside it. When we raised this issue at checkout, what was most disappointing was not the €16 charge itself but the way it was handled. Instead of listening to our concern or acknowledging that there may have been a communication gap, Ahmed repeatedly argued with us and claimed that because he did not say the word "free," we should have assumed everything was chargeable. That explanation is frankly absurd. Guests should not be expected to guess hotel policies. Transparency should be the hotel's responsibility. He even suggested and continued insisting that both of us must have somehow failed to hear him. This made the entire situation worse and we were so shocked by his attitude. It was an unnecessarily defensive and confrontational response to a reasonable question about a charge that was not clearly communicated. The entire interaction felt extremely unprofessional. A guest raising a concern should not be met with arguments and excuses. Acknowledgement that clearer communication would help future guests would have gone a long way. The entire situation left a particularly bad impression because it felt as though guests were expected to discover these charges only at checkout rather than being informed upfront. Whether intentional or not, that is the impression it created. This is particularly disappointing because Marrakech is known for its hospitality. We have visited the city multiple times and have never encountered anything like this. People often talk about scams in Marrakech, but after five visits, I never expected the first time I felt misled would be by a 5 star hotel. Strangely there was no management on site to speak to. The only saving grace was Khaled, who handled the situation professionally. Unlike Ahmed, he listened to our concerns, acknowledged that clearer communication and signage would be beneficial, and apologised for the experience. A hotel is only as good as its service. Given that we stayed here just before our wedding reception in Marrakech, this was a extremely disappointing way to end what should have been a special occasion. Unfortunately, due to the

I spent some lovely days at Riad Lamrani with my best friend, to celebrate our 65th Anniversary this year. This place is a hidden gem in the medina, a few steps away from the souks, but very quiet and peacefull once you entered the door. The rooftop terrace was also very beautiful, with nice views to the Atlas Mountains. Also the restaurant was very good, with delicous dishes and excellent service. The staff was always very kind and friendly. We also enjoyed a relaxing massage!

It was a wonderful experience. We were able to check in early as the room was available. Breakfast was included and it was in a beautiful mature garden with banana and orange trees (fresh fruit, assorted breads, eggs with style of your choosing and coffee/ freshly squeezed orange juice). Youssef was absolutely amazing! He was always helpful with anything we needed. We also ate dinner there. Room was spacious with local art and furniture. Amazing rooftop terrace. Transport to and from airport arranged by the Riad was easy.

A unique place to stay. An oasis of calm. The staff were fabulous and were always around to make our stay special. The restaurant is also excellent, serving Local cuisine in the middle of the Riad. We stayed in 2 different suites Harem and Sultan both on the ground floor both excellent. There is so many different terraces with sunbeds you will always find a quiet place.

This is a beautiful hotel in a central location. The staff could not have been more attentive or helpful. Airport transfer arranged by them was seamless. The food in the restaurant was excellent. We had a hammam and a massage at the hotel. All superb. Would definitely stay there again!

PERFECT stay in Marrakech! The breakfast was incredible, all of the staff was so kind and the room was gorgeous. The location was also perfect -- Central to everything we needed. HIGHLY recommend!

If you’re looking for beautiful interiors, exquisite food and attentive service in the medina of Marrakech, this is the place for you. We stayed three nights in February 2026 and couldn’t have been happier. Located conveniently for all the sights of the medina, the souks start barely ten seconds walk from the front door. The whole place is stunning, with the verdant, beautifully tiled courtyard restaurant at its heart. World of Interiors should pay a visit! The courtyard pool is delightful (a little chilly in February, as you’d expect), and the expansive rooftop has views over the city and the Atlas Mountains. We stayed in the room ‘Pacha’, with a balcony over the pool. Very spacious and beautifully decorated. The little hammam is worth a visit - you need to book the treatments in advance, but it’s very much worth it. By the way, don’t miss the chance to eat dinner in the restaurant — it was the best we had in Marrakech. Best of all was the service — friendly, personal and attentive. Palais Lamrani is an oasis of luxury and calm in the hustle of the red city. I can’t recommend this place enough.

A very nice and comfortable Riad hidden in the Medina of Marrakech. 6 rooms, a very nice green and quite garden and swimmingpool. Alcohol is served and accelent service of the staff. Your door to a perfect time in Marrakech. Better prices when you send an email.
