Nested in the heart of the ancient Medina, away from the rumble of modern life, I wanted to create a peaceful refuge, a comfortable cocoon where one is naturally led to relaxation.
Riad Cocoon sits in the centre of Marrakech, a 10-minute walk to Jamaâ El Fna Square. Its modern rooms feature personal iPods and guests can enjoy the small heated pool.
Guest rooms at the Cocoon also have iPod docking stations and the iPods come with playlists. Each room is air-conditioned and equipped with free Wi-Fi internet access.
Riad Cocoon offers a spa and traditional hammam, oriental massage and body treatments.
The guesthouse has a panoramic terrace, with views of the Marrakech rooftops. There is also a bar and a restaurant, which serves Moroccan cuisine.
A range of services is available at the Riad, such as laundry and dry cleaning and a tour desk. A shuttle service is also available for the Marrakech Menara Airport, which is 9 km away.
