Hidden behind a grove of palm trees, Dar Sabra is a surprising oasis under the dry Marrakchi sun. An ode to brutalism and surrealism, this guest house combines steep lines with sharp geometry where volumes Medina in sharp and precise lines. The lounges include furniture that combines clean design and&nbsp;private pools for each villa. In the garden, colorful sculptures, zany and hidden frescoes punctuate the greenery. A haven of two hectares dedicated to cubist and futuristic architecture, it is here where you can find more than sixty works of art selected by Monsieur Chapoutot, the owner of the place.&nbsp;

Nestled in the heart of the medina of Marrakech, in an uncrowded alley, Le 18 Marrakech is only revealed to those who seek it. Knock on the door, and enter a place like no other; this is a riad that preserves the traditional architectural tradition all the while incorporating contemporary furniture design. It features an open-concept kitchen with black and white cement tiles, rooms with unique decorations where each object seems to have been unearthed specifically for this space, and well as an intimate patio. Designed by photographer La&iuml;la Hida in September 2013,&nbsp; and conceived as a cultural riad, the venue hosts exhibitions, discussions, art installations and screenings throughout the year.&nbsp;

It&#39;s the worst-kept secret of the medina; acclaimed by fashionistas and artists alike, the Secret Garden riad has admirers&nbsp;around the world. In addition to the twist of Moroccan traditions, natural fiber accents, oriental opulence and boho influences, this ultra-confidential address offers a rooftop where you can find delicious food. On the sidelines of its six&nbsp;relaxed anti-modernist rooms, the place seduces the artists with its proposal of a residence. Thus, one can take refuge in the Studio of the Riad to undertake a kind of creative retirement.&nbsp;

In 2002, Vanessa Branson and Howell James fell in love with a house in ruins. Two years later, El Fenn riad was born, combining Moroccan ancestral know-how, luscious decoration and ultra-luxury service. Original cedar ceilings and&nbsp;traditional mosaics blend together with hand-picked furniture. the riad has twenty-eight rooms and suites, three pools, a bar, a spa and a library, offering a hedonistic retreat to a select few. Branson, to whom we owe the creation of the Marrakech Biennial, has created something of a living gallery where the works of contemporary artists adorn the walls.&nbsp;
