Do you like the combination of culture, nature, and the ocean? Explore Riad Janoub and Riad Rosemary the perfect destination Hotel

Situated in the historic Riad Zitoun Jdid district within the medina, one of the oldest quarters, the initial vision for the property was to transform it into a store. However, the proprietors chose to elevate the concept, transforming the space into an immersive experience for guests, as expressed by Leenaert: “To welcome people into our world.” Fast forward two years, and their mission has been resoundingly accomplished.

Stepping into the LRNCE universe, the Riad is a visual spectacle with giant murals crafted from vibrant zellige tiles adorning the walls. The flooring undulates in wavy terracotta, complemented by hand-painted tiles and intricately carved sandstone squiggles. Every corner is adorned with handmade vases, pots, and unique knick-knacks, all bearing the distinctive touch of Leenaert. Even the smallest details, like a toilet roll holder, carry her hand-etched sun motif.

The dining room and living room, known as the “salon,” serve as spaces for masterclasses and talks, creating a vibrant hub for friends and guests of the riad. Leenaert emphasizes, “We really wanted this to feel like our home and make it a hub for people to come and exchange ideas.” Workshops range from hand-painting ceramics with Laurence to learning the art of chiseling traditional zellije and carving plaster. Balancing work and relaxation, the riad offers a traditional hammam for pampering.

Ascending to the coral-colored rooftop, breakfast becomes a lavish affair featuring healthy granola bowls, avocado smoothies, and shakshuka. The culinary scene wouldn’t be out of place in cities like LA or Sydney, embodying a fitting analogy for the global influences seamlessly woven into the fabric of the Red City.

The riad stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of 30 artisans hailing from various corners of Morocco. A collaborative effort, it incorporates the skills of women specializing in stained glass from Meknes, potters in Safi, artisans crafting hand-chiseled zellige from Fes, marble vendors in Rabat, and local teams of carpenters, metalworkers, and plasterers. Leenaert emphasizes the unparalleled level of craftsmanship, stating, “I don’t think you can find the same level of craftsman anywhere else in the world, with the same intricate skills.”

Eschewing clichéd design tropes, the riad exudes a sense of freshness and playfulness. From the whimsical giant octopus mosaic in the hammam to the delightfully off-kilter plinths and chairs in the foyer, this riad seamlessly melds old-world crafts with a contemporary flair. It transcends being merely a place to rest one’s head; it stands as a vibrant showcase of Marrakech’s new-generation creative scene.

Room rates start from €220, and more information can be found at rosemarymarrakech.com.
