My stay at Free People Riad was the absolute highlight of my trip to Marrakech. It is a destination in its own right.
First up, its such a peaceful escape. The streets of the Medina are famous for being loud and chaotic, which I loved exploring, but the moment you step inside Free People and close the door behind you, the noise just vanishes. It is a stunning, quiet escape from the city, and while the souks are a wonderful experience, I found myself really looking forward to heading back to the Riad just to decompress.
With the property itself; the rooms are beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean, making it a really relaxing environment to return to.
The breakfast is equally lovely, and I really appreciated the flexibility of where to enjoy it; depending on the weather, you can sit in the stunning ground-floor courtyard or head up to the rooftop terrace and sunroom for a beautiful start to the day.
Pilar and her team deserve a special mention for being so warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They even included a great touch that I’ve never seen elsewhere; Pilar created a WhatsApp group with me, herself, and the concierge. It was a brilliant, practical way to keep in touch, schedule breakfast each morning or access their list of recommended attractions. It was so great to know that they were always just a message away if I needed anything.
I will certainly be back to Marrakech, if only to stay at Free People again. Put this Riad on your list for Marrakech
