Hôtel Sherazade

Marrakesh


Conversation comes easily at this riad-style inn run by a Moroccan-German family, with 22 rooms, sunny terraces and a mellow-yellow courtyard with a trickling fountain. The small terrace rooms are bargains, but you’ll want earplugs to sleep through the muezzin’s call to prayer and the buffet breakfast rush (Dh50 extra). Light sleepers should ask for rooms in the ivy-covered rear courtyard.

There are also good-value family suites. Ask about the two-bed bungalows that the owners rent out on a farm with shared pool, 14km outside Marrakesh.
