Located in Marrakech's oldest neighbourhood, the Kasbah, where the former royal stables once stood, is the Almaha Marrakech (from &euro310 almahamarrakech.com/en/). The boutique hotel, which opened in February 2016, is styled like a riad (a traditional Moroccan house with an interior garden or courtyard) and provides a range of luxurious facilities. The setting draws its inspiration from the Charles Baudelaire poem L'invitation au voyage. The hotel has 12 individually styled bedrooms and original d&eacutecor conceived by Belgian architect and designer Charles Kaisin. Facilities range from an underground hammam and spa and a roof-top terrace, where guests can dine and enjoy the swimming pool, which is open throughout the day.
