Ari Boutique Hôtel – Adult Only

Ari Boutique Hôtel – Adult Only Overview

You know what struck me first about Ari Boutique Hôtel? The way it sits so confidently on Avenue Moulay Rachid – honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the outside since Gueliz can feel a bit corporate compared to the medina, but this place has serious personality. The adult-only policy actually works in its favor here because you get this really refined, almost intimate atmosphere that’s hard to find in Marrakech. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love the energy of family-friendly places, but sometimes you just want to sip your evening drink without someone’s kid doing cannonballs nearby.

The location is actually pretty brilliant if you think about it. You’re right in the heart of Gueliz, which means you can walk to all those trendy cafés and restaurants along Avenue Mohammed V without dealing with the controlled chaos of Jemaa el-Fnaa every single night. But here’s the thing – it’s still quiet enough that you’re not hearing traffic until late. The staff seem to really know their stuff too, and not in that rehearsed way you get at some places. They’ll tell you which hammam is actually worth your time (spoiler: skip the touristy ones) and where to grab proper Moroccan pastries for breakfast if you want to venture out. The rooms have this modern Moroccan vibe that doesn’t feel forced – you know how some places try so hard with the “authentic” décor that it becomes almost cartoonish? This isn’t that.

What really sold me though was the attention to small details that matter when you’re actually living somewhere for a few days. The WiFi works properly throughout the property, the air conditioning doesn’t sound like a dying camel, and the beds are genuinely comfortable – not just pretty to look at. The bathrooms are spacious enough that you’re not playing Tetris with your toiletries, and there’s actually decent water pressure, which… well, if you’ve traveled in Morocco before, you’ll appreciate that. The rooftop area gives you those Atlas Mountain views everyone talks about, but without the crowds you’d get at the bigger hotels. I spent quite a few evenings up there just watching the city transition from day to night – there’s something about Marrakech’s light that’s different from anywhere else. The 9.2 rating makes sense when you add it all up; it’s not trying to be the flashiest place in town, but everything just works the way it should. If you’re looking for a base that feels sophisticated without being stuffy, and you want to experience Gueliz properly without sacrificing comfort, this is your spot.

• Home away from home – Olamide from United Kingdom – 23 June 2025 (9/10)

  The staff made my stay very comfortable, and it felt like home away from home.
  From the first night, I was welcomed by Mr Saeed at the front desk ( i hope i spelt it correctly😁), down to Mustapha at the restaurant, always smiling😄 and ever ready to help decide on choice of meals. Rachid was also very helpful during breakfast, which had a daily variety of meals to eat as much as you can😅.
  Mr Rachid at the front desk was also extremely helpful with recommending places based on my questions.
  I was a bit indisposed, and Mr Saeed was so concerned and was checking up on me.
