- Riad and Spa Esprit Du Maroc

Riad & Spa Esprit Maroc is located in the heart of Marrakech's medina, a 10-minute walk from Jemaa el Fna square. It's near the Marrakech Museum, Ben Youssef Madrasa, and Dar Bacha Palace, in the prestigious Zaouit Lahdar district, one of the oldest areas of the medina. The riad features twelve rooms, three patios (one with a swimming pool), a Moroccan restaurant, a spa, and a fitness room. Guests can also enjoy the rooftop garden. The refined decor creates a tranquil atmosphere of comfort, luxury, and impeccable service.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

This is a genuine little paradise hidden away in the very heart of the Marrakech medina. It took us roughly ten minutes to reach it from the nearest road, where we had arrived by taxi, and the route was not difficult or complicated to follow. The last twists and turns through the small alleys just before the entrance to the riad can look a little intimidating at first glance, but that contrast only makes the admiration even stronger when you finally step inside the riad — the photographs simply do not capture or convey all the beauty that appeared before us when we arrived. The staff are extremely friendly, warm, and responsive, and they speak excellent English. They immediately offer a wide selection of services for every taste — but they do it in a completely unobtrusive, non-pushy way. In our case, for example, we declined everything right away because we had already planned everything in advance and had arranged our own schedule beforehand, and this did not cause any problems whatsoever.
Beautiful stay in a wonderful Riad . Staff were tremendous ( especially Yousuf and Hassan ) . Highly recommended
An incredible stay. Sylvie is so elegant and a wonderful host in the beautiful riad. The location is superb. Walking distance to the souk. The staff is so kind and hard working and polite. Will surely come back soon
Fantastic Riad in a great location. The staff were superb and looked after us very well. The atmosphere and ambiance of the place was amazing, very tranquil and relaxing. Rooms were great, clean and very comfortable. WiFi and aircon were great!
Absolutely stunning, authentic Riad and lovely staff. Beautiful, peaceful central areas and bedrooms. So tranquil inside after the bustle of the Medina, yet almost opposite Ben Youssef Madrasa and very close to the souks. It’s hidden down a long, narrow, covered passage way, that you will need to stoop along occasionally if you are tall but once you enter the Riad door … wow! Definitely book a transfer direct with the Riad to help you find it on the first day as taxis can’t get to it - then you’ll be met a few minutes walk away & your luggage carried for you. You can breakfast (flat breads, yoghurt, jams, mint tea) on the roof terrace listening to bird song. We also had lunch by the ground floor Riad pool one day - lamb tagine, chicken couscous, white wine - all delicious. After a full day exploring we’d often end it relaxing on the rooftop listening to the call to prayer. Very atmospheric. Several excursions can be booked through the Riad - we booked the Medina tour, which helped us get our bearings. One other tip - yes use your phone app maps to navigate, but also video your walk to the Riad once during daylight hours - it will help you coming back at night!
