Opulent High-Tech
Situated in the Quartier Leksour of Marrakech, this luxury hotel is within walking distance of most of the attractions of this bustling city. Like many other riad hotels, it is conveniently close to all the attractions in the heart of the old
The Riad Lotus Ambre is an interesting combination of ancient riad style accommodation with all the features of Moroccan architecture, yet offering an opulent décor which takes its inspiration from around the world. The inconspicuous street door opens out unexpectedly to reveal a courtyard garden surrounded by individual guest rooms. The atmosphere is one of opulent indulgence and no expense has been spared to create a comfortable and charming boutique hotel. Described as an extravagant oasis of indulgence, it is one of the few boutique hotels in Marrakech to offer 21st century conveniences whilst retaining the authentic style of a riad hotel.
Each of the 5 rooms is highly individual and takes a theme inspired by such diverse celebrities as Marilyn Monroe, Lawrence of Arabia, Mao, Goethe or Jacqueline Kennedy. Although the walls and fireplaces are centuries old, the interiors are bang up-to-date with satellite TV, internet access and the latest luxury sound and entertainment systems. For those looking for a traditional boutique hotel in Marrakech without sacrificing home comforts, the Riad Lotus Ambre offers a great compromise.
Daybeds on the terrace and the jacuzzi offer relaxing places to spend time when not in the bazaar or the hotel’s hammam. A day of bliss here includes a 3-course lunch and a number of treatments for about the price of a pedicure in other countries. The well-equipped library is another delight to enjoy. The breakfast and dining is to a high standard and is served on the terrace on fine days. Chef-taught cookery classes are a great way to learn about Moroccan cuisine, or sit back and enjoy a delicious meal cooked by the talented chef with excellent service. The concierge-style services complete the amenities and ensure that trips beyond the medina are easily arranged.
