From the minute I stepped into Riad Botanica's floral-scented hallway, I knew I was somewhere special. Hidden behind a discreet green door in a quiet lane, one would never know there was such an elegant and luxurious oasis hidden behind the stone wall. This riad delivered every expectation set by its social media and guest reviews: chic design that marries traditional Moroccan style with a contemporary aesthetic, plush interiors with eclectic flourishes (like pastel patterned wallpaper, bronze fixtures, and tasseled velvet curtains), and the most sumptuous breakfast spread that begs to be photographed. At its heart is the original orange tree, which hovers above the courtyard like a protective mother. Despite all this loveliness, what makes Riad Botanica special is its people. Mohamed truly went above and beyond to take care of our group. His care, hospitality, and conversation made this a memorable stay. Amine, Fatima, and everyone else we met also made us feel at home. The riad is perfectly situated in Bab Doukkala, a friendly neighbourhood that has more of a local, laidback spirit than farther in the medina. It was the perfect spot to get a taste of local life, while being a short walk from the souqs and most major sites. It was also handy having the taxi stand nearby at the Doukkala Mosque. It may not be the most luxurious or flashy riad in Marrakech, but I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an intimate oasis of calm, serenity, warmth, and good taste.
