Amazing Riad, although hard to find, especially in the dark. Stunning inside, great host and staff are truly amazing. The room, food, breakfast and facilities are outstanding. The bed could do with updating slightly is the only niggle which stopped it being a 5 star.

A Luxurious Retreat in Marrakech

Our five-night stay was a symphony of sensory delights, and I left with cherished memories that will undoubtedly draw me back to this extraordinary riad. Whether you seek cultural immersion, culinary adventures, or simply a respite from the ordinary, Riad Noir d'Ivoire is an experience that exceeds every expectation.

It is an island of calm and beauty in the Medina. The staff is friendfly and always smiling, each room is a unique treasure. After a day of walking and touring, you come back to a place of calm where you feel each item in the hotel is carefully picked to enhance your experience. Abdessamad, the bar manager can provide you with the beverage of your choice fixed just the way you want it. The meals are excellent; tasty and plentiful. I would not stay anywhere else on a visit to Marrakech. The best o memories/

Incredible Riad in the heart of Marrakech
Exceptionally beautiful riad with warm ambiance and unique appointments. Staff was always friendly and eager to provide whatever service we needed. We had the opportunity to meet Stephen, the owner, who is committed to providing excellent service in a stunning setting. We would highly recommend staying in this amazing riad for anyone visiting Marrakech.

Breathtaking is the best word to describe this incredible Riad in the heart of the Marrakech medina. The service was impeccable - from the hands on owner, to the bartender, and every single member of the staff. The riad is absolutely beautiful - every room, winter courtyard dining area around the pool, and the summer courtyard with a pool and lounging chairs. The breakfast that was included was made to order and definitely the best breakfast we had during our week in Marrakech. We also ate dinner at the riad one night, and the ambiance and food was 5 star. If you ever travel to Marrakech, this is where you want to stay!

My adult children and I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful hotel in the medina. The hotel arranged a guide to take them hiking one day to a nearby waterfall, and another day they arranged a Moroccan cooking class in the hotel's kitchen. We did the traditional hammam with massages and enjoyed a delicious and ample breakfast each morning. The hotel is in a residential area of the medina, which means that it's quiet at night, but it's only a short walk to the shopping streets of the old city. I can't wait to return.

A spot of heaven in the Medina
What a wonderful stay we had at this riad. The staff was super friendly and helpful, from our arrival to our checkout. Decor surpassed our expectations, and the food was delicious and expertly prepared. Owner Steve was an incredible host and made us feel so welcome as if we were family.

If you had a higher choice than excellent I would have given it to the staff! The entire team went above and beyond everyday to make sure the guests were given the best care. This team of people is the best of the best! I had 5 star service every second I was there. I was picked up at the airport by Abdul and brought into the Medina where Badr took me by golf cart through the tiny streets to the Riad. Upon entering I was welcomed by Moussa with champagne, Moroccan Tea and some cookies while my bags were unloaded and taken to my room. They gave me a tour of the Riad which is STUNNING! Then they brought out a map to highlight all the must see’s in Marrakech. I met Stephen, the owner who welcomed me like I was family! This was my first trip to Morocco and they made me feel so welcomed and took care of any detail I needed. I have stayed in many hotels all over the world and never had service like I had here! I just arrived back home this evening and I miss them all! Thank you for suck a memorable trip! I will definitely be back!!!

Some of the decorations were very pleasing, a library with large books too heavy to carry ,an effort from the lost time. Extremely loud music at night was very difficult for tired guests to sleep. The roof is not ready for viewing.The star are the staffs, they carry the heart and soul of the place,beautiful service The trip from the parking to the hotel are both are very inconvenient and not well coordinated.bad for tired tourists.

Fantastic, atmospheric place very handily situated near most of the sites but also nice and quiet if you need to relax. The staff are some of the friendliest and most helpful people I've ever encountered on my travels and are a credit to the hotel! All in all I'd highly recommend this place. By the way, when tipping,leaving cash is a much better idea than just adding something to your bill!

This is what we’d like our home to look like
It was our first time to Morocco and we couldn’t have picked a better Riad. Yassine was amazing, as was all the staff at Riad Noir D’Ivoire. It probably set too high of a standard for the rest of our trip as all the other riads we will probably stay at won’t be able to compare. The Elephant room was perfect for us (and stunning decor wise). The balcony overlooked the main fountain and allowed us to have an excellent view for the weekend night entertainment. If you’re there for Frankie Kanza definitely come back to the Riad to watch him perform. His voice was incredible, and made my fiancé cry (the voice, not him, haha). The food was wonderful, the drinks were excellent. One of the better Old Fashioned’s I’ve had when I substituted the whiskey (and I live in New York). The pool (although very cold) was a welcome respite from the heat and hustle & bustle of the medina. It was very calming to spend an afternoon to recharge. Everything about this place oozes sophistication. We would 100% come back to stay here again...we didn’t really want to leave.

Unbelievable. Short walk away from the crowded souks and located in a nice neighborhood. I preferred the local Médina area were Raid Noir d’Ivoire is located. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Marrakech. The Raid details and customer service is remarkable. 10/10 and will return someday in the future.

The ambience, the facilities, breakfast, dinner, concierge and above all the staff were simply superb. The Riad is well positioned in the northern medina close to the Jaama al Fna, Koutoubia, Majorelle Gardens and the suks. A par excellence choice. The concierge arranged wonderful waking tours in the city and a trip to the Atlas Mountains.

Where do I begin... On arrival at the airport we were greeted with a very nice taxi driver ( arranged by our hotel ), beautifully dressed who took us to his car and gave us straight away bottle of water. As cars are not allowed to enter further we had a very friendly donkey ( Coscous ) with his master waiting for us, he loaded our suitcases at the back of his carriage and walked us through to our new home - paradise. Yes, that’s how I felt all 6 days while we stayed there. We were greeted by such friendly people, sat down and brought us lovely tea and biscuit. This place is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed, decor is out of this world and people who work there...no words can describe how helpful, friendly, kind and wonderful they are. As only smallest room was available when we booked it, they upgraded our room following day, with our private terrace and a jacuzzi. They couldn’t do enough for you, told us this is our home and they really went above and beyond... I have to mention Mohamed who took such great care of me when I wasn’t feeling well, such a lovely man, always there for us , looked after us most of the evenings and made sure we have everything what we needed. We really miss you Mohamed!!!! You are such a credit to this Riad. Front desk-Hassan and Yassine who organised our trip, book cab for us, supplied mobile phone while we stayed there and got lost, Aziza, Hamid, Said, Leila, Aron, Tim, Peter, Taoufik ( chef ). Thank you all so much for everything!!!

Il Riad è un posto magico. Siamo stati coccolati da Abdul e da tutto lo staff. La struttura è fantastica, tenuta benissimo e curata nei minimi particolari. Le stanze sono spaziose, pulite e richiamano lo stile marocchino. La colazione è servita a bordo piscina (senza buffet, cosa che preferisco) e prevede yogurt, frutta fresca, succhi, the marocchino, latte, caffè, crepes tipiche marocchine accompagnate da diverse confetture, miele e la tipica crema marocchina alle mandorle. Il tutto accompagnato dal fantastico sorriso e dalla splendida cortesia dello staff. All'interno del Riad è possibile pranzare, cenare, degustare ottimi vini, immergersi nell'hammam o rilassarsi con un ottimo massaggio. Ritornerò sicuramente a Marrakech e quando lo farò, soggiornerò al Riad Noir d'Ivoire.
