Arriving at the hotel we were greeted by Mohammed and served traditional Moroccan tea and sweet cakes. The hotel had arranged our transfer from the airport and the taxi driver was in the waiting area immediately as we walked out of the airport and before the very busy section where every other taxi was, so we had been relieved he was easy to find. The hotel is in an excellent location, we found if you turn left out of the hotel and then right, you enter the perfect street to lead you down into the medina. We were close to restaurants to have dinner at night and felt safe walking in the immediate area. Mohammed was extremely helpful, one night he walked us to a restaurant around the corner, he arranged taxis for us and arranged a pool day at another hotel. The breakfast was pleasant and served fruit, yogurt, traditional Moroccan pancakes and eggs cooked to your liking. The room was very clean and the temperature was to our liking. We liked being in town and being able to walk straight into the medina from the hotel.

The only thing we found disappointing was the lovely loungers on the rooftop did not get any direct sun when we were there in February. Whilst this is not the hotels fault, it meant we couldn’t come back to the hotel and sunbathe in the afternoons. We did however sit on the sofas in the sun on the rooftop and the staff didn’t seem to mind. We booked a pool day pass at one of the larger out of town hotels to get our sun fix. We were also surprised to realise the hotel did not serve any alcohol, this did not bother us too much but might be a disappointment for others.

La Brillante is the perfect location to stay in Marrakesh. It’s not only super clean, it’s also very beautiful and peaceful. The pictures look quite cold but in reality it is the perfect combination of modern living and an oriental-spa decoration. The rooms are gorgeous and the beds super comfy. Breakfast was brilliant! Cocktails are awesome, too! The staff is very helpful, competent and lovingly friendly. In other riads that we stayed in, you heard the Muezzin crazily loud in the mornings, here we were lucky.

Superb hotel with 6 rooms. In the style of a riad. A pool and hot tub on the ground floor and roof top bar (no alcohol) The rooms are spacious and well appointed. Very comfortable bed, shower pressure was low but acceptable. Restaurant is on the ground floor and seats 12 people. We had one evening meal and it was excellent. Although they do not sell alcohol you are permitted to bring your own and they will supply glasses , ice and pour for you. Breakfast was served in the same room. Lovely pastries, cheeses and cold meats eggs cooked to order. Excellent coffee. The staff are superb, they provide exceptional service. From Mr Mohammed the Manager to Mustafa the trainee, all are exceptional.

Low shower pressure. Cockroach in bathroom

Our stay at La Brillante Hotel in Marrakech was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable, especially in celebrating my partner’s birthday. Mohamed and the entire team created a beautifully decorated room, with thoughtful touches that added so much joy and surprise to our stay. The attention to detail was impeccable, making us feel truly special. The rooms were beyond luxurious—spacious, beautifully designed, and spotlessly clean, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. The decor brought in that enchanting Marrakech vibe, making it an experience all its own. Thank you to Mohamed and all the incredible staff at La Brillante, we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of Marrakech.

We initially had a larger room, but ended up switching due to the limited privacy in the bathroom. While this might not be an issue for some couples, I didn’t feel entirely comfortable with it. Adding more privacy in the bathrooms of the larger rooms is something the hotel may want to consider.

Everything! The staff were amazing so attentive , The mocktails were senational!The room and the riad and terrace all so gorgeous and the food was amazing from breakfast to lunch! Could not fault! Danielle

La Brillante was a long time expected sunny breakaway in the middle of our winter. We came to have peace and comfort while enjoying the vibrant Marrakech. Spot on. We had a lovely time with a good level of comfort in this renovated riad. Nothing left from the traditional place expect the concept but it was very good. It offers functionalty and comfort: a great breakfast, a pool, a spa, a hammam, a restaurant, with flavory dishes and a bar. We have been wonderfully cocooned by Mariam, Kahoula, Youssef, and all the staff greatly orchestrated by Mohamed. Shukran. The location is ideal to stroll around the medina and great advice and support have been given to us to organise the tours we wanted. We had a wonderful Valentine's week. بارك الله فيك. La Brillante

Not to stay Longer

Beautiful small luxury riad with an amazing suite to match. Perfect for our romantic getaway. Staff were exceptional and went above and beyond for us and our needs. Helping us to source all the products which we wanted to buy from the room. The bath products and creams, rose water etc were amazing quality. Food was amazing and 5 star restaurant quality. The menu is small but perfectly executed with beautifully prepared food which was aethestically beautiful, tasted amazing and was locally sourced fresh produce. Probably one of the best places I’ve stayed in. The hammam and massage were second to none and really competitively priced.

Nothing Pure unadulterated luxury.

I loved the freshly prepared breakfast every morning which was served on the rooftop of the hotel 🌅 There was a choice of fresh breads & pastries, delicious and traditional Marroccan breads and pancakes, eggs of your choice, fresh fruits 🥭🥝🍍 your choice of cereals and the best cappuccino ☕️ And the staff was so friendly and kind too! I miss these mornings 🌅

We would have loved a roof top swimming pool to cool off after a busy and hot day in Marrakesh.

Everything was outstanding! The rooms were stunning and we had seperate sink areas which were great for getting ready. We opted to have lunch in the hotel rooftop and the food was delicious better than most of the restaurants we tried. The location was perfect and we were central to everthing. Everything was walking distance.

My only negative for this property is the swimming pool was freezing cold so unfortunatley we could not make use of it durign our stay. The team should invest in a heater so this can be used by guests as its located in the shade at the bottom of the Riad.

If you understand and appreciate quality and service then you will understand why La Brillante is an oasis for upscale travelers. Marocco is a crude gem and a place like La Brillante can be a lifeline or a treat. It is new, modern, clean , located perfectly and the service you receive is personal and superb . The hotel has 6 rooms and we had 3, all rooms are larger then hotel rooms and all with great taste and care. The limited number of rooms makes the Riad a Boutique & personal hotel. Having spent several nights at the Riad we enjoyed the beautiful rooftop restaurant & bar , the personal Hamam and the massage service, all where excellent. highly recommend !!!
