I can't recommend this place enough - I'm already hatching plans to get back there. Amazing service, beautiful setting and the breakfast is wonderful (expect to gain a few pounds). Only a twenty minute drive from the medina - it's a welcome respite from the hussle and bussle. more

The Riad is a 20-30 minute ride from the Medina (depending on whether you go by cab or ride the bus). It is a most welcome home away from home especially after the hustle of the marketplace. The swimming pool is marvelous and feels soooo good after a HOT Moraccan day. I swam at 11 one night in the dark... more

Alain, Abdel, Malika and Suede all went out of their way to provide outstanding service, a friendly welcome, and at all times showed real interest in our well being. The food was great - fresh, plentiful and the most genuinely Moroccan we had. As if by magic, people appeared out of nowhere to cater to our every need. In building... more

We came to Marrakech to relax so chose this hotel for its wonderful pool and gardens and weren't disappointed. The Riad shares grounds with the Kasbah dar Ilham so there are 2 pools available for guests (one is about 20 metres long) and 2 different garden areas. By each pool is a beautiful tent straight out of the arabian nights... more

We (2 couples and one friend in their 20s and 30s) stayed at the Riad Dar Ilham for 4 nights over Easter break. Can't say enough good things about this place - the rooms are beautiful and extremely clean. The gardens are very pretty and the pool is great. The whole place is very peaceful but they're also quite happy... more

A fantastic break for Easter 2009, we stayed in the Riad and didn't want to move. The location is outside of the busy part of town, which provides welcome peace and quiet. The pool and facilities are top notch. Breakfast was provided and was very generous, and lunch and dinner could be ordered for reasonable prices and you can have... more

A superb, restful stay made all the better by Abdel and the riad staff who were very attentive but at the same time we never noticed were there. Particular mention goes to Menica who served our every need and always with a smile. As soon as we arrived, late at night, we were escorted to the gorgeous poolside marquee where... more

The Dar Ilham is a really beautiful and relaxing place about 20 minutes drive from the Medina (45 minutes from the airport). Dar Ilham has 4 bedrooms and a magical court yard, a lounge area, a stunning swimming pool and a sumptuous gazebo next to the pool. (There is a bigger hotel property next door that has many bedrooms and... more
