Le bon coin à Marrakech

Le bon coin à Marrakech Overview

You know what struck me first about Le bon coin à Marrakech? The name literally means “the good spot” in French, and honestly, they weren’t kidding around. This place sits in Quartier Charaf, which – if you’re not familiar with Marrakech – is actually one of those neighborhoods where real Marrakchis live, not just the touristy medina madness. I mean, don’t get me wrong, you’ll still want to hit Jemaa el-Fnaa and all that, but staying here means you get to see how the city actually breathes when it’s not performing for visitors.

The hotel itself has this really interesting vibe – it’s got that 4-star polish you’d expect, but without feeling stuffy or overdone. The rooms are spacious (and I mean actually spacious, not “spacious for Morocco” spacious), and the air conditioning works properly, which… well, if you’ve spent any time in Marrakech during summer, you know that’s not always a given. What really got me was the rooftop terrace – you can actually see the Atlas Mountains on clear days, and the sunset views are pretty spectacular. The staff here genuinely seems to care about what they’re doing, too. Check-in was smooth, and they helped me figure out the best routes to avoid the crazy traffic around Gueliz when I needed to get to meetings.

Here’s the thing about Quartier Charaf that most travel guides won’t tell you – it’s quiet at night. Like, properly quiet. You’re not dealing with the constant hum of scooters and late-night café chatter that you get in the medina. But you’re also not stuck in some sterile resort bubble either. There’s a great little bakery about a five-minute walk away where locals actually go for their morning bread, and the neighborhood has this lived-in feeling that makes you feel less like a tourist and more like a temporary resident. The hotel’s restaurant serves solid Moroccan food – nothing revolutionary, but the tagines are well-executed and the couscous on Fridays is worth staying in for. Parking is available on-site, which is honestly a luxury in this city, and the WiFi actually works throughout the building (tested it in the lobby, rooms, and that rooftop terrace I mentioned). With a 9-star rating, Le bon coin delivers on its promise of being, well, a genuinely good spot. It’s the kind of place where you can decompress after a day of navigating the souks, but you’re still close enough to dive back into the chaos whenever you want.
