Luxury, calm and conviviality

Nicely described in the famous french magazine Figaro Madame (*) as "A nest for lovers", and listed in 2005 as one of the greatest riads of the Marrakesh medina, Le Riad Monceau is a majestic moorish-andalusian style house, nestling in the calm of a discreet small street, only a few steps away from the famous Jemaa el Fna square.

Dated from the 18th century, but completely refurbished in 2002, and converted into a luxurious five star guest house, le "Monceau" manages to successfully bring together the charm and elegance of an authentic traditional architecture with the comfort and safety of international standards, and the serenity of a haven of peace with the immediate proximity of the hottest shopping area and main historic places of interest.

Property of french creator Isabelle Aubry who exhibits here some of her main works, the riad also subtley combines the warmth and conviviality of a private house together with the comfort and discretion of a professional top class hotel service.

You will appreciate, particularly, the luminosity and freshness of the white andalus patio paved with Carrare marble and provided with an elegant small swimming pool coated with traditional mosaïc, the sunny rooftop terraces overviewing the Koutoubia and the snowy monts of the High Atlas, as well as the cosy atmosphere of the restaurant and its lounge corner.
