Dar Rhizlane review: our verdict
The garden takes the first step: passing through the wrought-iron gate, the path winds past ponds filled with water lilies and papyrus, along with citrus trees and palms, until it reaches a zellige fountain covered in rose petals. Dar Rhizlane presents itself as a small palace, in the style of Marrakech's bourgeois villas, with suites named after scents such as Musc, Santal, or Jasmin, most opening onto an Andalusian garden or a flowered terrace.
This is the address for a couple's stay seeking the calm and greenery of Hivernage while remaining just minutes from the medina. The staff knows their guests, the rooms receive fresh flowers, and the pool glows in the evening. The restaurant also welcomes non-residents for dinner in the garden, featuring seasonal cuisine and cocktails with or without alcohol. This is not a hotel for a festive stay: here, one comes for the silence and the flowers.
The insider tip: book a table for dinner in the garden, a way to discover the house without staying overnight. The best time slot: on festive evenings, Valentine's Day, or New Year's Eve, when the house serves a special menu and live entertainment.
