Map & Getting to the hotel

Riad El Fenn is 15 minutes from Marrakech Menara airport and the easiest way to get here is by booking a private transfer with us. The driver will be holding a red sign with El Fenn written in white letters as you exit the arrivals hall.

Alternatively, you can take your own taxi but get ready to haggle. Ask to go to to Bab el Ksour - it's pronounced Bab Lxor. It's a large stone archway gate through which you enter the medina. Go through the gate, take the first street on the right and our main hotel entrance door is 5m down on the right.

If you're not staying with us, then go to Bab el Ksour but don't go through the gate. Look to the right and you'll see the doors to El Fenn's boutique. From there you can shop or go straight up to the roof terrace.

No cars are allowed in the medina so, depending on where you're staying, it can mean a long walk to a taxi. Unusually, El Fenn combines the best of both worlds: just a few minutes walk from the souks and key sites like the Koutoubia Mosque but you can get into a taxi right outside the entrance to El Fenn's boutique.
