WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
The appeal is in the balance: a restored 19th-century riad, a courtyard plunge pool, rooftop pool, hammam, massage treatments and a softly designed atmosphere that feels easy to come back to after the medina
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Riad Brummell is tucked inside Marrakech’s Medina, between Dar El Bacha and Riad Laarous, down a quiet lane that keeps the souks and restaurants close without letting the noise fully in. The mood is warm and design-led, with desert tones, crafted Moroccan details, a calm courtyard, and a rooftop looking out over the Medina. The stay is intimate and slow, shaped around the rooftop plunge pool, honesty bar, courtyard, restaurant, and easy walks to Le Jardin Secret, Mouassine, and Jemaa el-Fnaa. It works well for travellers who want a peaceful Medina base with a more contemporary feel than a traditional riad.
Our take on the stay
Eliza
Riad Brummell brings together Moroccan craft, beautiful design, rooftop swimming and medina calm in a way that feels warm and unforced
HOTEL LOCATION
THIS IS GREAT
A quiet medina location close to Le Jardin Secret and Dar El Bacha, keeping Marrakech’s old-city energy nearby without placing the riad on one of the busiest streets
A restored 19th-century riad with rose tadelakt, high arches, hand-poured terrazzo floors and artisan-made details that give the house real texture
A rooftop pool and terrace, creating a calm place for sun, mint tea and slower moments above the medina
A courtyard plunge pool at the heart of the riad, giving the house a cool, shaded centre after time in the souks
Hammam and massage treatments, adding a proper Moroccan wellness layer without turning the riad into a large spa hotel
A small scale of five rooms, plus a separate four-bedroom annex for private group stays

Marrakech
Marrakech is a city of contrasts, where the noise and colour of the medina give way to quiet riads hidden behind unmarked doors. In the southern part of the old city near the Kasbah, the atmosphere feels slightly calmer, with narrow alleyways, local cafés, and historic sites woven into daily life. Riad Brummell is set within this part of the medina, offering a more intimate stay surrounded by the textures and slower rhythm of old Marrakech.
