Top choice in Marrakesh
Mediterranean chic meets medina living. Mallorcan owner Elsa Bauza oversaw every aspect of her riad's renovation, retaining its handsome central courtyard, installing a plunge pool in the patio and giant fireplace in the salon, while stripping rooms down to their elegant essentials to create tranquil, minimalist spaces that deserve a spread in Architectural Digest. Elsa is usually on site, and service is excellent.
