Overview

The intoxicating scents of roasted paprika and cumin waft in from the nearby medina as you sip your juice atop the Riad Tarabel, an intimate guesthouse near Marrakech's medina.

The elegance of the South of France meets the flavors of Morocco.

Near Jemaa el Fna and various bustling souks, Riad Tarabel represents an escape for lovers of the medina. Peripheral frills have been left behind in favor of good taste. The fact that this eccentric Moroccan Riad is French owned and operated shines through immediately, evidenced by an aesthetic that's hip, irreverent, and welcoming.

Fountains burble in the hot Moroccan afternoon, and the shade from the courtyard's orange trees makes for natural sunblock to those sitting on the grass with a book and some aromatic tea.

There are intimate hotels, and then there's Riad Tarabel - with just two rooms and one suite. Each room is different: one with an ornate four-post bed, one with a clawfoot tub, and still another with a cozy day bed set back in a private alcove.

When walking through the Riad, the best footwear is a pair of soft babouche slippers, native to Morocco. You won't be doing any jogging in them, but that's the idea: to slow you down after braving the hectic flurry of the vibrant medina.
