"Our Top 4 Choices for Guesthouses in Marrakech"
Palais Riad Calipau (our ranking 5* Deluxe Riad)
Palais Calipau is the last 5 star Riad opened in Marrakech's Medina. Ideally located in the noble neighborhood of the "Kasbah", any part of the city can be accessed easily. The owner remodeled the riad combining Morrocan's kraftmanship with the lastest technologies to provide the greatest comfort. The riad is located between Hassan II and kind Mohamed VI palaces, 10 mn from Jama El Fna Plaza near the Mamounia. The owner spent 3 years to renew this old secular house for a result close to perfection.
Opened in March 2006, Riad Calipau is available to you for an unforgettable stay.
Riad Mocharabie (our ranking 5* Riad)
Riad Mocharabie has the charm of an open-sky patio, with tuneful fountains. Its lounge, with elegant furniture from the last century, overlooks this dwelling all in height. Traditional minzeh, balconies in the English way, gangways which call to mind the blue sea shiver and make of this space a marine oasis. This riad, resolutely Tangieri, offers four air- conditioned “superior” rooms, all with shower- baths.
Its furniture, comfortable and refined, its woodwork and waistcoat heighten an elegant interior Moroccan architecture, with white washed walls pure lines or hangings and tapestries make up a décor all at once well- balanced and magnificient
Dar Chems (our ranking 4* Riad)
Just a short distance from the Jmaa El Fna, Dar Chems is a beautiful Riad in an ideal location. Step outside your door and you will be right in the heart of the action, but take one step across the threshold and you will enter a little paradise. It is a small Riad with excellent friendly service. You can have your choice from 5 different bedrooms and enjoy a lovely terrace which looks out over the Medina. This is an ideal Riad for people looking for a uniqe experience at an affordable price.
Riad Omar (our ranking 3* Riad)
Riad Omar is an ideal guesthouse for families with children. Located in the heart of the medina and only steps away from the Jmaa El Fna, this amazing Moroccan home has kept its truly traditional decorative style giving its guest a more realistic picture of how a traditional Moroccan family lives. Some rooms can be quite small but they are all clean and equipped with air conditioning and a private bathroom.
The 20 rooms and 4 suites vary in size and decorative inspiration. Riad Omar can accomidate families well as 2 adults and 2 children can share a room quite comfortably.

Guesthouse in Fes...are they really worth it?
Some people are wondering if the Fes guesthouses are really worth what people make them out to be. For many years, tourists have come to Morocco seeking a cultural experience. One draw back has been the lack of interesting hotels in Morocco, specifically Fes. Currently, there are no "hotels" located in the medina of Fes! Cultural tourists want more than what hotels have to offer and thus the need for guesthouses. Guesthouses in Fes offer a more intimate feel, while combining the charm of the ancient medina with the luxury of a restored guesthouse. Fes guesthouses have become the new rage for the middle to upper class tourist looking for "more than a hotel". The new guesthouses in Fes are changing the image of Fes by offering an excellent service at a reasonable price. Fes Guesthouse...they are worth every penny!
Imperial Cities
The Imperial Cities Tour is a "snapshot" of the main historical cities of Morocco. 8 days / 7 nights of pure culture, history, and friendly people.
Great South
The Great South Tour is perfect for those wishing to explore the more "rustic" side of Morocco. Heading over the High Atlas Mountains, the main focus of this tour is the amazing gorges and Sahara Desert. Don't miss the night under the stars at the oasis!
