5. Riad Azzar
Marrakech, Morocco
From $150 per night
ETIC Hotels Green Score: 9.5/10
Life in the Riad focuses inwards, a design principle favoured in Islamic notions of privacy. The name ‘Riad’ comes from the Arabic word for a garden, where trees and arcades create a peaceful oasis, lush with plants and cooled by fountains and pools.
Riad Azzar has been open since January 2004 and from the very start has made a significant mark. The house is furnished in beautiful soothing colours and comforts for a sense or peace.
An atmosphere of refined charm is apparent as soon as you duck into the small entrance and enter an elegant courtyard area with a gorgeous plunge pool, banana tree and many other plants and flowers. You will feel immediate at home in Riad Azzar with an affable feeling that also pervades the 3 rooms and 3 suites and the other public areas such as the pleasant alcoves, the comfortable dining room, the salon with music and books and a roof terrace with lounge area and sun beds to sunbathe in privacy.
6. Dar Les Cigognes by Sanssouci Collection
Marrakech, Morocco
From $210 per night
ETIC Hotels Green Score: 9.5/10
The supremely well located Dar Les Cigognes faces the gates of the Royal Palace in the heart of the historic medina. With most of the major sites just steps from our front door, the bustle of the souks and adjacent Place des Ferblantiers, Dar Les Cigognes is a convenient base for a visit to Marrakech. As one of the very few riad hotels located on a street, Dar Les Cigognes offers guests the additional ease of being able to come and go by car.
For centuries, a discreet door opposite the gates to Marrakech’s Royal Palace led to a wealthy merchant’s home. Today, behind that door, with the help of celebrity architect Charles Boccara, we have transformed two Riads into the luxury boutique hotel called Dar Les Cigognes. A Riad is a traditional Arab house, traditionally an interior world, which is built around a courtyard with fruit trees and a fountain. A stay at Dar Les Cigognes offers a rare glimpse into a world from 1,001 Nights, with all the comfort and luxury of a modern boutique hotel.
