Fodor's Travel, January 2026This Marrakech riad offers art-house rooms with wow-factor, an exceptional buffet breakfast and a courtyard pool shaded by palms, five minutes from the snake-charmers, acrobats and street-food vendors of the D'Jemma el Fna. Upgrade for stitched camel-leather floors and a private terrace with a plunge pool.
The Telegraph, September 2018A rooftop is a thing of wonder. When it's done right. When it has dreamy views over Marrakesh, say, and sofas set in cooling shade, and charming staff to bring you tiny cups of mint tea. El Fenn, Vanessa Branson's place, has all this and more... You can treat the place like your own. How wondrous.

Hotels Own Introduction
El Fenn: Where Luxury Meets Authenticity
At El Fenn, luxury blends seamlessly with authenticity. More than just a boutique hotel, we’re your home away from home—a place to kick back and relax, shoes optional. With 41 uniquely styled rooms and suites, three swimming pools, a sprawling 1,300 square metre roof terrace, two cocktail bars, two restaurants, a spa, and even a family of resident tortoises, El Fenn is the ideal base for exploring the vibrant beauty of Marrakech.
A Sanctuary of Relaxation: The El Fenn Spa
In Morocco, cleansing and nourishing the body and mind have been cultural traditions for centuries. At the El Fenn spa, we offer a sanctuary of peace and calm. From traditional hammams in our tadelakt-lined steam rooms to cozy fireside massages, we focus on helping you slow down, unwind, and replenish your energy.
The Iconic Roof Terrace
Our stunning roof terrace, open to both in-house guests and non-residents, is one of Marrakech’s most beloved spots. With 1,300 square metres of lounging space, it offers panoramic views of the city’s rooftops and the iconic Koutoubia Mosque. No reservations are required, but since it’s a popular spot, arriving early is recommended. Whether you're lounging on a daybed or sipping cocktails at our 30-foot marble bar, our mixologists are ready to serve from 12:30 until late, ensuring you enjoy every moment.
