Marrakech, each one illustrated with sumptuous photographs, capturing

show off the quality of the design and the rich flavor of
MarrakechToday's Marrakech is a thriving and trendy destination.
Tourists are pouring into the city - Europeans, Americans and
Australians thirsting for an exotic getaway. Five-star hotels (Raffles,
Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons) are currently under development in the
sands around the city. The Medina, the central traditional core of
Marrakech, is thriving like never before. Armies of artisans,
handcrafters, architects and designers, concentrating on preserving the
city's heritage, are contributing to a cultural renaissance that is
reinventing the city.The Riads of the Medina (the traditional
guesthouses) epitomize this new creativity and have become as much of a
Marrakech attraction as the Souks themselves. These Riads showcase what
visitors find inspiring about Marrakech; an oasis of tranquility with
refreshing dipping pools and luxury hammams; excellent kitchens serving
gourmet couscous and tagines; courtyards of fountains and chirping
birds; rooftop terraces offering private sunbathing with panoramic views
of the snowy peaks of the Atlas mountains. The Riads in Marrakech are
something between boutique design hotels and historic private
preservation museums.Astonishingly, to date there exists no book that
showcases the very best of the original Riads in Marrakech. There have
been luxury hotel books and Moroccan Interior books, which include a
traditional Riad or two amongst their volumes. This new book, The Riads
of Marrakech, goes well beyond: for the first time, twelve of the very
best of the Medina Riads have been thoroughly photographed, documented,
compared and contrasted. Peppered between the Riad pages are
photographic essays on the various facets of Marrakech life: sights,
people, food, surroundings, and nightlife. In total, The Riads of
Marrakech is not only a comprehensive study of these fascinating and
luxuriously detailed residences but also a fine souvenir of the city
itself, an irresistible reminder of this magical city.
