Manzil for Riad Jardin Secret (Marrakech, Morocco)

The riad’s name is no accident – the address is whispered amongst the initiated like a best-kept secret.
To gain access you must be in the know. Legend has it that the ‘Secret Garden’ was the folly of a rich Marrakchi, who built two almost identical riads side by side to house his lovers. One of the women was his favourite and he dedicated this beautiful setting to hide the immense love he had for her. 

Nestled in the heart of the Marrakech medina, this small and authentic riad has been given new life by Cyrielle and Julien, a creative couple from Paris who have spent over a decade working in the fashion industry. In search of a more authentic lifestyle, they moved to Marrakech and, after months of searching through the maze-like streets of the medina, they discovered a peaceful and inspiring refuge in a discreet passageway. With only seven rooms, this timeless and creative hotel offers guests a unique and intimate experience in the heart of Marrakech.
