Reviews
We had an excellent stay; the riad is incredible, it feels like home, and it's beautifully decorated. The staff is very kind, discreet, and always available—truly lovely. We opted for the breakfast package, and it was very generous and delicious. We were scheduled to leave for a hot air balloon ride on the second day at 5 a.m. from the riad, and the owner kindly offered to leave coffee, tea, juice, and biscuits for us so we could have breakfast before our activity. We also had dinner there one evening, and everything was excellent. By choosing a stay at L'Écrin, you also have access to Ryad La Brillante (just a short walk away) and its superb, calm, and relaxing pool. Thank you for this perfect stay; we recommend it 100%!

If you're going to stay in a riad in Marrakech, this should be it. It's spotlessly clean, and the decor is understatedly magnificent. Aladin and Hisham are incredibly kind, attentive, and friendly people. We were very lucky to have met them. Breakfast on the terrace is plentiful and very enjoyable. The riad's unique aromas and music are very impressive. The treats are wonderful. You don't need to look for another riad!
Convenient location, delightful staff - authentic Moroccan experience with contemporary twist. Light, airy with wonderful terraces and view of the Atlas Mountains.
Great place
