Breakfasts were good, the eggs and tomato tagine was lovely. The Riad is in a very quiet area, away from the crowds. Charles is the perfect host and his team can’t do enough for you. Jeli was a star.

Our appearance in Marrakech was met by a storm, mix Marrakech with any storm a combination I wouldn’t wish again. Out of the darkness shone a light a bright and fierce light, a Riad the likes of which dreams await Mr Charles or Charles Arbousset...

Host review score
Charles ARBOUSSET
At 7 minutes from the Place Jemaa el Fna and in one of the biggest gardens in the medina, the Riad el Arsat is at once intimate and spacious, with all the luxury, charm and ancient traditions of Morocco. With a large swimming pool, a spa, long covered colonnades and wide terraces, the Riad el Arsat is one of the latest historic palaces of the medina. The property was built by the Kabbaj family at the end of the XIXth century but fell into multi-occupancy and decadence in the 1960s after the death of its owner. It has been renovated mixing the European style and Andalusian art-deco by Mme Nicole Arbousset with utmost respect for its architectural integrity and furnished with Moroccan rugs and artefacts as well as art-deco style furniture and ornament.
