back to all luxury hotels in Marrakech

Hotel Overview

Riad Ambre, part of the Riad Lotus Group and the first of three new boutique hotels, is a place of privilege. Nestled just seconds away from the thriving souk in the centre of Marrakech, Ambre offers guests a discreet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the market traders amid the comfort of a luxurious yet traditional riad.

Their philosophy is to provide an atmosphere of indulgence, and no expense has been spared to adhere to the challenge. Whilst Ambre’s look and feel is traditionally Moroccan, the interior design has been inspired by cultures from across the world. Each room is opulently designed and completely individual, taking character from celebrated icons such as Lawrence of Arabia , Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, and comes with Bang & Olufsen audio visual systems, satellite TV and internet access.

Location

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 Medina. The Kharbouch Mosque and the souk with its bargains in carpets, silver and leather goods are all within easy reach of this boutique hotel. The chaotic entertainment of the central Jemaa el Fna Square is just a short two minute walk away.

Highlights and Features

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 21^st 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.
