In the heart of Marrakech’s medina, El Fenn redefines the concept of a luxury riad in Marrakech. Owned by Vanessa Branson, it occupies twelve interlinked riads surrounding tranquil courtyards filled with palms, fountains and art. Every space has been curated to balance Moroccan heritage with contemporary design, from vivid tadelakt walls and zellige floors to over a hundred works by leading North African and international artists. With three swimming pools, a spa, rooftop restaurant and panoramic views across the Koutoubia Mosque and Atlas Mountains, El Fenn is a stylish, creative retreat just minutes from Jemaa el-Fna.
Blending centuries-old craftsmanship with contemporary flair, El Fenn is a showcase of design and individuality. Its forty-one rooms and suites are spread across twelve restored riads, each revealing hand-carved cedar ceilings, sculpted plasterwork and richly pigmented tadelakt walls. Many suites feature open fireplaces, freestanding copper tubs, and private terraces, while larger family options occupy entire riads for an extra layer of seclusion. Art is central to the experience, works by Hassan Hajjaj, Leila Alaoui, and Sir Antony Gormley line the walls, creating a living gallery throughout the property. Leisure unfolds across three pools, a tranquil spa and hammam using Maison d’Asa botanicals, and a rooftop terrace framing sweeping views of the Red City. Dine on seasonal, locally sourced cuisine, or unwind with sunset cocktails at the rooftop bar. Service is relaxed yet assured, combining professionalism with genuine warmth.
