Marrakech, a most glorious, vibrant and exciting city. Strategically and splendidly set at the foot of the magical Atlas Mountains, it has long been envied as the Jewel in the Crown of Morocco. Visitors staying at Riad Zeitoun Palace with its six ensuite bedrooms and a roof terrace, really enjoy the fact that this is a real home reflecting the interests of its owner Astrid. The previous ownerwas the famous painter, Norman Douglas Hutchinson. Riad Zeitoun Palace is in a quiet residential area which has an old and honourable history of welcoming incomers. Many people settled here in the XVI Century after expulsions by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain and it became known as "le Quartier des Andalous". After the Revolution of 1918, it was also home to many Russians, and Muslims, Christians and Jews lived in harmony. The area is studded with interesting things to do and see within walking distance: the Badi Palace which received a British Ambassador from the Court of Elizabeth I at its launch party, the Bahia Palace built by the Grand Vizier Si Moussa in 1860, the Jewish quarter and much more. We wish you a wonderful stay in Marrakech and hope to have the pleasure of your company at Riad Zeitoun Palace soon.

Riad Zeitoun Palace is very conveniently positioned: the streets are wide, it is quiet. The car park is truly less than 1 minute away. It is surrounded by museums, restaurants ranging from the humble to the smart. There is a covered market and shops of all kinds. The famous square, the Jma el Fnaa, is a ten minute walk. There are night clubs, modern shopping malls, the famous La Mamounia, is a 5 minute taxi ride away. The Badi Palace takes a five minute walk, the Bahia Palace, two minutes. The ancient jewish area, the Mellah, is fascinating and the simple but beautiful Synagogue and Cemetry very moving. There are gardens every where. All this, and more to discover, I just love.
