People ask should we come to Marrakech ?I don’t quite know but maybe it’s not just one reason.But it could be a quiet accumulation of moments layered like the city itself where history, beauty, and something deeply human meet you all at once.First The Arrival “A Door Into Another World”You arrive through chaos scooters, voices, dust, life in motion and then a door opens.And everything changes.Inside a traditional riad, the noise disappears. There’s the soft sound of birds, scent of Orange blossoms, Light dancing across zellige tiles.It feels ancient almost sacred yet effortless in its comfort. Modern luxury wrapped in something centuries old. And for the first time in a long time… you exhale.Second The Weight of History “Walking Through Time”You walk through the city and realise this isn’t curated history. It’s lived. At Ben Youseff Madrassa, carved cedar and endless geometry whisper stories from centuries ago.The walls don’t just stand they remember. The Marrakech Museum, the medina, the narrow alleyways everything feels layered.Not preserved… but continuing. And somehow, you become part of it just by being there.Or maybe it’s Rituals of Beauty “Coffee, Gardens, Stillness” contrast of souks to sit in a place like Bacha Coffee all gold, rich coffee rituals, and quiet elegance and time slows again.Then gardens. Hidden ones. Like Les Jardin De Secret. Where water runs softly and olives, oranges and palms sway above you. And then YSL Majorelle bold, electric blue against green life a reminder that Marrakech doesn’t just preserve beauty… it reinvents it.These aren’t just places.They’re pauses. Moments to feel.Thanks for the love @allaboutwanderlust_ @four_aroundtheworld @thesecountryroads @takemyhearteverywhere @travelcroats @claire.caucecile @nazideljipilates @annikaglac @chabichicmorocco Book your stay with us direct at Riadbotanica.com 🍉❤️🍉#riadbotanica #marrakech #condenasttraveller #moroccotravel

This is why people fall in love with riads…❤️The way light filters through the courtyard, the scent of orange blossom in the air, tea served quietly beside the pool.Every detail is intentional designed not just to be seen, but to be felt.This is Marrakech, as it’s meant to be experienced.🥰❤️ book directly

A Heartfelt Thank You ❤️🙏We are incredibly honoured and grateful to be recognised in the Tablet Hotels / Michelin Guide Best New Hotel Designs 2026.https://magazine.tablethotels.com/en/2026/02/design-awards-2026-world/ The Tablet team wrote that their awards favour intimate properties where an individual voice has the chance to shine through boutique hotels where creativity, authenticity and vision shape every detail. That philosophy sits very close to our hearts.Riad Botanica was never designed to be a large hotel or a commercial concept. It was created as something far more personal a home, a sanctuary, and what we often call a Garden of the Soul in the heart of Marrakech.From the very beginning, our intention was to create a space where:• design tells a story• craftsmanship is honoured• nature is present• and guests feel something real.The article beautifully notes that the most compelling hotels are those where you can feel "the unmistakable hand of a single, eclectic visionary." Thank you ever so much @marrrkfedeli for your comments "The duo has set out to create more of a home than a hotel, with just six guest rooms that draw influences from their respective homelands".Riad Botanica exists because of that spirit and because of the incredible Moroccan artisans, collaborators, and supporters who helped bring this vision to life.We are deeply thankful to the editors at Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels for recognising small, independent properties like ours and for continuing to celebrate boutique hospitality around the world.And most importantly, thank you to our guests and community who fill this house with warmth, curiosity and kindness every day.This recognition belongs to all of you.With gratitude,Angela, Mohamed & The Riad Botanica Team ❤️🙏🏆Deepest gratitude to our supporters@claire.caucecile @florencebroadhurst @materialised_ @airaroma @themoroccans @stalbansliving @sno_upey @allaboutwanderlust_ @alan.keohane @thomas_orum @farmersmarrakech @riadbotanica @botanicalexofficial @kelseyinlondon @lesjardinsdulotus @bachacoffee @lejardinsecret_marrakech

Ramadan Kareem 🌙 Which simply means, we wish you

Ramadan Kareem 🌙Which simply means, we wish you a wonderful Ramadan.May this month bring you reflection, peace, and a return to what truly matters.Here in Marrakech, Ramadan changes the rhythm of everything.The days feel quieter. Slower. More intentional. From dawn to sunset, many choose to fast not only from food and drink, but from excess, reaction, distraction, and habits that no longer serve.Fasting is only one part of what is observed. In many ways, it mirrors traditions like Lent a conscious pause. A time to recalibrate. To give more than you take. To practise patience, generosity, forgiveness, and care.We all know the physical benefits of fasting how it can reset the body. But Ramadan invites something deeper: awareness. Gratitude for what you have. A moment to feel what it means to go without, and to allow that awareness to soften you.As the sun sets each evening, the city exhales. Families gather. Tables are shared. Bread is broken. Doors open. Neighbours connect. Food is offered freely. There is a deep sense of community grounded, grateful, alive.At Riad Botanica, Ramadan is part of the fabric of our home and our neighbourhood. It is something we live alongside quietly and respectfully.If you are with us during this month, you are warmly invited to experience it in whatever way feels natural to you. If you’re not sure or keen to learn more ask :)! And as a guide simply be more aware while travelling for example, avoiding eating or drinking while walking in public during fasting hours, and instead enjoying meals within restaurants and cafés. It is a small gesture of respect that goes a long way.If you feel curious, join a local restaurant or home for iftar at sunset. It is a beautiful way to witness the moment the fast is broken simple, generous, deeply communal. Feel free to ask questions everyone loves to share. Observe the rhythm. Or simply feel the gentle shift in atmosphere that makes this time so special.Ramadan is, at its heart, an invitationto slow down,to reconnect,to return to what truly matters.In gratitude, respect and with love, from the whole team atRiad Botanica 🤍

We’re incredibly proud to share that Riad Botanica

We’re incredibly proud to share that Riad Botanica is now showcasing selected works from Mina’s “Soul of a Rug” exhibition, first presented at the historic El Badi Palace during the renowned 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair.Mina’s contemporary exploration of the Berber rug tradition transforms Moroccan weaving heritage into conceptual art. Her celebrated “One Square Berber” piece a single square meter of handwoven symbolism captures the essence of Amazigh storytelling, geometric language, and ancestral craftsmanship. Small in scale yet profound in impact, it reframes the Moroccan rug as both cultural archive and modern artistic statement.At Riad Botanica in Marrakech, where design, texture, storytelling and authenticity define the experience, these works resonate deeply. By bringing elements of this internationally exhibited collection into our riad, we continue our commitment to celebrating contemporary African art, traditional Berber weaving, and meaningful collaborations rooted in Morocco’s creative heritage. Thank you @minaabouzahra for entrusting us with this piece.We look forward to sharing more of Mina’s work and expanding our collaboration in the months ahead.Stay woven with us.🥰❤️ Riad BotanicaBook to stay with us and checkout Mina’s range of Moroccan made rugs and exhibits https://www.minaabouzahra.com/
