Palais Riad Bérbère

Tucked in Marrakech’s Agdal / Sidi Youssef Ben Ali district, this palais-style riad sits amid gardens with views toward the Atlas Mountains. It’s close to Agdal Gardens and a short drive from Jemaa el-Fnaa, the Royal Palace and El Badi Palace. Menara Airport is about 10 km away.

A boutique palace with just 15 individually decorated guestrooms, many with private furnished balconies or patios overlooking the pool, garden or Atlas range. Rooms feature refrigerators, LCD/satellite TVs and deep soaking bathtubs (some with bidets); Select Comfort beds with down comforters and Frette Italian sheets are noted in select rooms. The vibe mixes traditional riad architecture with relaxed, modern comforts.

Two outdoor pools plus an indoor pool, a health club and a full-service spa with massages, steam room and solarium — wake up to Atlas-breeze mornings and unwind poolside. Concierge service, babysitting (surcharge), free valet parking, shuttle options (surcharge) and extras like a library, picnic and BBQ areas round out the offering. Family-friendly and pet-friendly options are available.

Complimentary high-speed wired internet, a 24-hour business center, express check-in and on-site conference/meeting space. Roundtrip airport shuttle available on request (surcharge).
