Riad le Clos des Arts

Just 100m from one of the busy passageways that lead visitors and traders into the busy market place in the centre of Marrakesh is a place of tranquility and serenity. We were met at the taxi stand about 200m from the hotel our luggage placed in a trolley and escorted the short distance to the hotel. We arrived at an unimposing brown door which opened at the ring of the bell and we were transported into history. soft music was playing inthe background with the soft trickling of water from a wall mounted feature. The architecture resemblent of Morocan history and as we to discover later designed by the owners, Giorgina & Massimo. We took mint tea with biscuits and were showed where we were on the map and given focus points to help steer us back to the hotel, when we went exploring . Our ensuite room was stunning with wooden shuttered windows and a large comfortable bed. The team felt like a family and nothing was too much trouble, with a great breakfast on the roof terrace and dinner if required. For my wife and I it was one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in and look forward to a return in the future.

We enjoyed a very warm welcome with a lot of useful information about the city, while being offered a peppermint tea, the premises are absolutely beautiful, all the employees very helpful and charming, lovely rooms and bathrooms, decorated in local style and very clean. A rich breakfast is being served by the pool and the cosy and tasteful furnishing allows to have a rest after a full day in the streets of Marrakesh. Eventhough the road nearby is very busy, there is no noise in the hotel, also not in the night. Alltogether a fantastic holiday, its my second time at the Clos and not the last! Marilène
