Soothsayers, snail sellers, soaring minarets, bustling medinas and the North African sun are just a small fraction of the myriad sights and sounds that go into the melting pot called Marrakech. The former imperial capital of Morocco, the city today is truly a gateway for the world to walk through. Marrakech can never be fully experienced in just one visit, however long or short. Every subsequent visit will yield some new nook to explore and savour and some delightful memory to store away to relish later. Architects, gourmands, culture hunters, historians, scholars and even the blank slate of a young child’s mind is sure to find wonders to gaze and feast upon.
The Riad Sidi Benslimane spreads its stately skirts comfortably over the centre of Marrakech. This makes it a practical and luxurious base from which to explore any part of the city. The excellent standards of service and hospitality at this establishment are by themselves a great reason to come back again and again to the city.
The Riad Sidi Benslimane pays gracious homage to Moroccan architectural motifs in its design and decor. Authentic local elements such as an open solarium provide excellent ventilation and expansive views of the Atlas Mountains. Everyone who visits Marrakech and lays their head to rest at the Riad Sidi Benslimane is sure to just have one thought, ‘what took me so long to get here?’
