Accommodation In Marrakech

Marrakech is certainly worth a stay of at least a night before and after a trek, preferably longer.  Although there are Western-style hotels on the outskirts, we recommend you stay in a traditional riad (small hotel usually with an enclosed, central courtyard) near to the main square of Jemaa el Fna, in the heart of the medina.

Trek Atlas recommends 4 traditional riads, Riad La Belle Epoque and Riad Linda and El Arsa and Riad Maroc. All are close to the main square, are typically Moroccan and offer value for money.

Riad La Belle Epoque

Riad La Belle Epoque is situated in the historic heart of Marrakech, a few minutes walk from the main square of Djmaa el Fna. Run by a Spanish company , it is Moroccan staffed and has a distinctly Moroccan atmosphere and cuisine.
