Opened in 2023, Riad Botanica is a gem hidden in the historic Medina of Marrakech, named to reflect its deep connection to nature. With just five suites, it is a tranquil sanctuary, inspired by the beauty and healing properties of plants, with a fruitful orange tree at its heart. The property beautifully blends traditional Moroccan architecture with contemporary Australian design, a vision brought to life by owners Angela and Mohammed Mellak. Once a collection of traditional nine-room homes, Riad Botanica has been thoughtfully remodelled into a modern oasis. Each suite is a private haven, complete with ensuite bathrooms, intimate sitting rooms, and serene relaxation and dining spaces. The rooftop terrace, bathed in sunlight, offers a calm setting for morning breakfasts, yoga sessions, or quiet moments under the Moroccan sky. Guests can also indulge in rooftop or poolside courtyard dining, with every detail designed to elevate the senses. Created as a space for guests to reconnect and reflect, Riad Botanica promises more than just luxury accommodation—it offers an immersive experience in the soul of Marrakech. Here, guests are invited to unwind in elegant surroundings, while savouring the warmth of Moroccan hospitality and the unique harmony of East and West Art Deco design. These beautiful design elements are brought together using works by Australia’s renowned wallpaper designer, Florence Broadhurst, alongside traditional Moroccan motifs such as geometric tiling.
