Dar Rhizlane, Palais Table d'hôtes & SPA

A wonderful unique independent hotel. Absolutely beautifully decorated, charming, spotlessly clean, and so pretty. Very friendly staff, breakfast is very good. We only ate in the restaurant one evening and it was very good as well, but it is very high end pricing for their food.

Marrakesh’s Hidden Gem: Dar Rhizlane Is the Moroccan Fairytale You’ve Been Dreaming Of… If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to step inside a Moroccan dream — equal parts palace, private estate, and romance novel — allow us to introduce you to Dar Rhizlane, Marrakesh’s best-kept secret (though we’re almost reluctant to share it with others). From the moment we entered, it was clear: Dar Rhizlane isn’t just a hotel — it’s an experience. A masterclass in attention to detail, where nothing is left to chance. Think: intricately carved archways, glowing Moroccan lanterns cleaned by hand (yes, every single one), and beds dressed like they were touched by angels — each drape of the sheets perfectly placed as if choreographed by royalty. Peace and tranquility reign here. It’s romance in real-time. From the serene pool surrounded by whispering palms to the dreamy breakfast area where bougainvillea blooms hang like nature’s chandeliers, this place hums with intimacy and soul. The trees themselves — over a century old — wrap the building like a protective, flowering hug. Even fallen petals don’t stand a chance. The grounds are so immaculately cared for that you’d swear the bougainvillea drop their flowers on cue, just to be swept away with grace. And then… there’s the service. Oh boy. Other hotels, take notes. Muhammad at the restaurant deserves a Michelin star in hospitality. By our second morning, he knew how we liked our coffee (strong), our eggs (runny), and our lives (spoiled). He was always one step ahead, yet never intrusive — the kind of intuitive care you can’t fake. And let’s talk about the barman, who should have his own Netflix cocktail show. He whipped up a spicy margarita so spectacular — laced with chili, harissa, and Chinese five spice — we nearly wanted to take him back to London with us. A fiery, fragrant elixir that deserves international recognition. The reception and front office team? First class. No request too small.

The hotel had a cozy, homely and authentic feel to it, but also featured wonderful facilities for the size of the place. The pool area was very relaxing and it was a nice touch to have frequent complimentary food/tea delivered to us by the pool side. The staff were lovely and were very attentive to our needs. The highlight of the stay was definitely the breakfast. This included a large selection of both continental and local breakfast options with the choice of either eating outside on the terrace or on our own private balcony in the room.

Actually we liked the hotel much more in the pictures than alive. The hotel is nice but I would never rate it 5 star. Everything was fine, but not excellent. We came from Ritz Carlton, Rabat, and were not impressed.

Wonderful choice! Like a small paradise within the vibrant city. The oriental suite was even too big for our needs, but it was perfect! The staff is taking care of the room few times a day, which is outstanding, we haven’t experienced such a big attention to details. They always greeted us with a smile either it was mid of the day or 4am when we departed to the airport and were ready to answer to anything needed. Excellent choice of the breakfast which is served from 6-11AM and the pool was our favourite place every day right after travelling around the city in the first half of the day. Thanks to Fatima and the whole Dar Rhizlane team!
