Intimate, unique and welcoming, 72 is much more than a boutique hotel; it is your home in Marrakech and it is a tranquil Eden of peace in the heart of the colourful Medina. Each of Riad 72 rooms are individually decorated and styled, but all offer a relaxing and elegant retreat from the outside hustle and bustle you can enjoy getting lost in during the day. But at the day's end, climb up to Riad 72's roof terrace to watch the beautiful sunset and later dine under the stars, enjoying Chef Mustapha's contemporary Moroccan creations.
Families or friends can treat Riad 72 as their own by occupying all the rooms and the luxurious Karma Suite offers couples the ultimate romantic escape. Giovanna,Stefania and the team behind Riad 72 pride themselves on their attention to detail and their commitment to making your stay as comfortable, relaxing and special as possible.
A Riad, which means garden in Arabic, is a traditional Moroccan house or palace with an interior courtyard that usually features a fountain and palm trees with no roof. The building which houses 72 is over one hundred years old. Recently renovated and transformed into a luxury hotel. The design concept behind the Riad is to preserve women's privacy, a traditional muslim and Moroccan concept.
There are no windows in the outward perimeter, while within the walls, the layout is designed so that you don't see what's inside. The 72 is located in the Bab Doukkala neighborhood, part of the Medina, and is easy walking distance to the souks, but far enough away to ensure a bit of tranquillity. A hotspot for antiques hunters, many of the city’s best dealers are located in this area.
