WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKECH
There are plenty places to stay in Marrakech. There is a wide range of luxurious hotels, mid-range and also budget hotels so I’ve made a list here for you. Are you interested to stay in a Riad? Then I have to tell you about Riad El Fenn, in the middle of the Medina. It’s hidden away, hard to find and it’s a oasis of peace and quiet. They serve amazing food and they have this great rooftop. If you’re more into a hotel kinda vibe, you should check out Radisson Blue, is situated at t he heart of Marrakech at the newly built Carré Eden. I go for a hotel for only one reason; the aquarium pool. But my number one recommendation has to be Riad BE. Situated in the middle of the souk in the old historical medina, you’ll find a little piece of paradise. Stil don’t know how to spend your days and enjoy this city to the fullest?
