Marrakech, Morocco

Riad Noir D'Ivoire

Outside the walls of Riad Noir D'Ivoire, the city clatters and hums. Rich aromas of local spices and ancient foods waft up through the air, while shrewd bargainers scurry through the souks with riches in their baskets. You've come to Marrakech, Morrocco with a curiosity. But at the the same time, you've become accustomed to a fine night's sleep. Convenient, then, that the totally serene and sexy Riad Noir D'Ivoire is tucked away in a quiet, non-assuming Median alleyway. With rooms named after African wildlife, a pristine pool flanked by banana trees, and a traditional Morrocan courtyard, this elegantly restored riad feels like a lavish, well-kept secret in the midst of of Marrakech. The best of Moroccan cuisine is just steps away, as the aforementioned shopping, both in souks, or their more modern equivalents.
