Close to Place Jamaa-el-Fna, yet hidden away in one of the old streets within the Medina, is Riad Ambre, the first of the riads in the Lotus chain. This is a truly unique property, with contemporary rooms and suites named after – and decorated in a stylish tribute to – famous figures of the past, including Marilyn Monroe and President Kennedy.

Riad Ambre comprises of four rooms and one suite, and each bedroom is equipped with an ultra-modern Bang & Olufsen audiovisual multi-media system and internet access. There is also satellite TV with a variety of international channels, as well as the comprehensive DVD and CD collection in the library available for rental to guests.

The hammam is indicative of ancestral Moroccan traditions, while the solarium on the terrace is the perfect environment for leisure, reading, sunbathing and relaxation. The jacuzzi and other spaces are simply intended for idle pleasures, and for the curious there is a course in traditional Moroccan cooking. The talented chef will prepare excellent Moroccan meals which can be eaten in the restaurant, on the terrace or in the patio.
