Le Farnatchi

We stayed here 18 years ago and loved it! That’s why when we returned to Marrakesh (it took for to long) we did not hesitate to book La Farnatchi. It did not disappointed! The place is stunning and as soon as you walk through the amazing front door, you feel at home. The team are truly the icing on the cake tho! They can not do enough for you. It feels like NO is not in their language! Many members of the team have been at Farnatchi since day 1 and it really shows. James, the owner is most charming and did me a huge favour because he heard that I was stuggling to secure 80 bottle of champagne l needed for the for my birthday party that I was throwing for 30 people in rental place near by. Safe to say my celebration would not have been as much fun without those 80 bottles! Thank you so much James and the whole team!

Traditional. Beautifully decorated keeping the old features . Free airport pick up. Breakfast was delicious with flexible time and place. Located stones throw from souks. Very helpful and attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble, accommodated our requests and also organised tours/excursions .

Nothing much

This is a special place. Hidden behind a huge wooden door in the heart of the Medina is this little gem of a hotel. With a beautiful courtyard private spaces with wood fires burning in the spring this was a perfect home to discover the city from. The roof terrace looks out toward the mountains and at the call to prayer at dawn it is a magical place to take in Marrakech.The staff are charming and extremely welcoming.

The calmness and quietness of this place, just a lovely little escape from the craziness just outside its walls. Brilliant staff especially Saida, who checked us in, and never say no to any requests, always happy to help with everything, from changing sleepers sizes, to booking our treatment at the spa.

We had a lovely suite, almost faultless, however, we think, maintenance is an issue as we’ve noticed few things that have not been fixed or replaced perhaps, i.e. taps covered in limescales. For a massive room, we wish there was a kettle/teabags available in the room. We love a cuppa before bed and didn’t want to hassle staff to bring us tea late at night. There’s also no fridge in the room, would be nice to have a cold drink especially on a hot day.

Perfect location inside the Medina - we could easily walk to Souks, Jemaa el-Fnaa, wonderful restaurants, etc. The breakfast was wonderful and brought to our room or private rooftop terrace each day as requested. The staff were incredible and really made the trip for us! The service was top-notch, and the owner James Wix was often onsite ensuring everything was running smoothly for the guests. It was an incredible place to stay!

Nothing!

Wonderful riad hidden away in the midst of the medina. Genuinely warm welcome and the service was impeccable. Rooms very individual and wonderfully decorated in traditional styles with little modern twists. Can’t recommend enough!! (Their sister restaurant is excellent too!)
