Marrying the rich tradition of Moroccan riads with Nordic stylistic influence and a sublimely serene atmosphere, Riad No 37 stands as a pocket of calm within the ever-reverberating buzz of Marrakech.

Peace is priority No 1 at Riad No 37. To ensure this peace is double-secured and then secured once more, the hotel accommodates a maximum of sixteen guests at any one time, and children must be left at home under the watchful eye of the next available babysitter or willing family member. Treat yourself to an in-room spa treatment or unwind with a signature cocktail. The Aeris, a dance of gin, lemon, and verbena syrup, distils the region’s essence.The interiors of this serene spot whisper tranquillity too. With balconies adorned in green tiling, original latticework, vibrant and lush vegetation, and clean, chic stonework, the riad perfectly blends its diverse stylistic references to create a beautiful Scandi-Moroccan fusion.Considering it’s just a ten-minute walk from Djemaa el Fna square and only a twenty-minute drive from the airport, the way the riad truly protects its peace is impressive. The hotel boasts a dreamy rooftop where breakfast is served, and a pool awaits guests in need of cooling off from the afternoon heat. A second plunge pool hides, surrounded by orange and olive trees, on the hotel’s ground floor. Thinking of planning a winter getaway? Fear not - outdoor fireplaces are there to take the edge off the nighttime chill.Onto the most important part: the food. All of the kitchen staff studied at Um Mami, a Danish non-profit organisation that trains vulnerable people in the culinary arts. Breakfast is served on the rooftop, and although guests are encouraged to sample from the array of Marrakech eateries for dinner, the hotel is always ready to prepare something delicious and homey should you fancy staying in.The stunning dining area, featuring a long marble dining table, inspires visions of indulgent group dinners and is another reason why the hotel is an ideal destination for a group of friends or family to book out the entire place and keep the reunion going into the early hours.Whether you’re planning a big group get-together or an intimate couple’s week away, destressing in a venue as luxurious and homely as Riad No 37 should be at the top of your shortlist. We’ll race you to the plunge pool!
