The beautiful and elegant Riad Shemsi has been created from an original ancient house in the heart of the Royal Kasbah. From its terrace one has a wonderful view of the whole of Marrakech including the Palace and the Koutoubia Mosque.

Riad Shemsi is a haven of tranquility; its large courtyard containing a substantial pool surrounded by traditional arabesque arches, antique and vintage tapis, palms and distinguished Marrekchi furnishings.The stunning chambers are all en- suite, revealing traditional coloured tadelakt plasterwork, finely worked mirrors and contemporary art. The beautiful salon with its open fireplace and elegant cedar fenestration is a wonderful place in which to savour the delights of the celebrated Shemsi cuisine.

Alternatively, take your evening meal on the atmospheric terrace with its subtle Moroccan lighting. The Shemsi staff are warm, attentive and ever welcoming.

Riad Shemsi is located just minutes from the Saadien Tombs and the Royal Palace and within a short distance of the wonderful myriad Souks and Jemaa El Fna.

"If you are lucky enough to book a room at Riad Shemsi…well, your journey will be extraordinary. Why? because they will take care of you like one of the family, because the riad itself is amazing with its fine decoration and precious details everywhere. The sunset on the Riad's terrace is one thing you could not ever forget. I would recommend Riad Shemsi to everyone: from young couples to women who love to travel alone. It's the perfect location to enjoy the real flavour of Marrakech."
