In the Kasbah quarter of the ancient Marrakech medina, easily accessible by taxi, minibus and horse-drawn calèche and only yards from the Royal Palace, Les Borjs de la Kasbah is a charming boutique hotel in Marrakech meticulously created by craftsmen over a period of four years from a complex of six small town houses (dars) and one riad.
On entering this haven of tranquillity you will be struck by the restful atmosphere of contemporary refinement and arabo-moorish charm,
the whole contrasting sharply with the frenetic activity of the thronged medina beyond its walls.

This is the perfect hotel escape to take yourself away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. It is a calm oasis within a desert of noise and crowds, the perfect place to rejuvenate whilst exploring the sights and sounds of this chaotic city. The staff here are fantastic and just the loveliest people. So welcoming, helpful and personable. The facilities are wonderful: very comfortable air conditioned bedrooms, charming dining areas and a really good swimming pool area. Unfortunately we didn't have time to use the Spa facilities available. All meals experienced were of the highest quality whilst also satisfying the appetites of two boys. This really is the perfect place to stay whilst experiencing Marrakech.
After reading other reviews I was expecting to find a relaxing Riad, a friendly welcome and great service. All of these we got and more. I don't generally give a 5 star rating on TripAdvisor as some things can always be better. Not this place. Nora and Tom are tireless in making sure that everything is more than perfect. The pool is such a delight for a swim after a day out in the Souk while meals, from breakfast to dinner, are exceptional. The setting is so tranquil, public areas so spacious and all at such good value. Thank you Nora, Tom and the great team.
This place is heaven. We booked a nearby Riad that fell awfully short compared with its stunning pictures. Luckily this gem, Les Borjs, was only 2 minutes away so we transferred and the staff took such great care of us. The service is stellar, we were always greeted with a smile. The pool area is nothing less than perfect and the vibe is very tranquil and friendly. We would recommend anyone traveling to the southern end of Marrakech (the kasbah) to check in here. The owners and staff are among the most hospitable people we've ever met. Very sad that we had to leave. 10/10 just perfect.
The most fabulous Ryad, magnificently located in the heart of Marrakech. Family owned and operated by the simply divine Tom and Nora who left no stone unturned in making our stay one of joy, luxury and great fun. Staying here will be one of the best decisions you'll make when visiting this vibrant city.
What a fantastic hotel this is, stayed there for my daughters Hen Party weekend. Tom and Nora our hosts, along with all the staff, where absolutely incredible they helped make this such a special occasion. Not only for the bride but also her daughter who celebrated her 16th birthday during our stay. Marvellous surroundings wonderful people who really couldn't do enough to make our visit memorable. Can't wait to revisit this lovely hotel. Thank you so much Tom and Nora.
Laughter, peace, culture and love We had the most amazing time staying here as a hen party group of 12. Everything about this gorgeous Riad is spectacular from the amazing team led by Nora and Tom, right through to the atmosphere, the beautiful environment, the stunning rooms and gorgeous food. It is literally a haven of tranquility where nothing is too much. Tom and Nora are wonderful hosts and we felt like they and their team, (including of course lovely Jasmine ☺️), were actually honorary hens! They helped us decorate rooms, ensured everything ran smoothly and were also fonts of local knowledge. The whole Riad is beautifully appointed with lots of different areas to relax, all beautiful, and, the icing on the cake, the lovely pool. The rooms were comfy and beautiful, the events the helped us run from the welcome buffet through to the hen party banquet were wonderful!! This is an amazing place!!
We visited Marrakesh as a family of 7 and stayed in this beautiful Riad. Visually it was stunning with colorful decorations and architecture behind the typical sober facade. Everything, from the courtyard to the restaurant to the rooms etc., was meticulously cleaned and cared for. Once inside all noise from the busy streets around disappears. We flew in quite late the first day but were greeted with a full meal while our luggage was taken to the rooms. Which brings me to the staff, for which I have nothing but praise! Everyone was extremely kind, caring and prepared to help out at any time. Two of us got quite sick on the last two days of our one week trip, and the staff went out of their way countless times to make us a special tea, bring breakfast to the rooms, even pick up medicine at the pharmacie to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. All of which I'm very thankful for! The hotel offers in-house henna tattoos, hammam sauna and multiple massage options. These as well as the swimming pool were very nice additions to our stay in Marrakesh on days where we wanted to rest or stay at the hotel. In summary, despite the sick days at the end we had a lovely stay in Marrakesh thanks to Les Borjs de la Kasbah and its staff. It is the perfect place to stay if you want to explore the city itself and the surrounding mountain villages and coastal cities. I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to take a trip to Marrakesh!
We have just had a wonderful 5day break in Marrakesh, the highlight of which was Tom and Nora and Les Bourjs, and their amazing Riad with its quiet pool and courtyards—and staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious and comfortable, the restaurant has an excellent menu (and wine list!) and the service was always outstanding. Les Borjs is well located in the Kasbah within easy walking distance of the Medina and the sights of Marrakesh. Dear Tom and Nora, thank you again for making our stay so memorable.
We stayed at the hotel, a group of 8 for three nights. We are friends travelling together for years all over the world. Thia is a great boutique hotel located in the old city. Very friendly team managed by Tom and Nora, the owners. A lovely central patio surrounded by comfortable rooms. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful stay at Les Borjs de La Kasbah, made possible by the caring and accommodating staff. Whether we were relaxing by the pool or dining in one of the courtyards, the cleanliness, beauty, and attention to detail across the riad created an environment we were happy to return to after long days in the Medina. A special thanks to Tom, Nora and Nadia for making us feel so at home during our first visit to Morocco- it won’t be our last!
Very beautiful riad on the edge of the Kasbah. Fantastic service by the super-friendly owners Nora and Tom, who pamper you as friends. Comfortable rooms, beautiful patio, delicious food. This is really a must!
We loved our stay at Les Borjs de la Kasbah. It was easily our favorite lodging out of all the places we stayed during our 2 week tour of Morocco. Tom and Nora are a wonderful team and helped with every question and need. The meals were delicious--all cooked by a private chef on staff. The ambiance was the shining quality of our stay because Tom and Nora managed to create an atmosphere that was intimate yet warm and welcoming yet exclusive. Also, the accommodations were top notch and beautiful. The purple bougainvillea were in full bloom and the Riad was sparkling clean, and even had fresh flower petals in the fountain each morning. Tom & Nora's attention to detail is what made our stay even more enjoyable--the table-side fire heaters for brisk dinner and early morning breakfasts on the patio, mint tea and homemade pastries waiting for us upon our arrival, and we won't soon forget the evenings spent relaxing in the salon with wine and good music.
The riad run by Nora and Tom is an absolutely quiet oasis in the immediate vicinity of the royal complex. Nora has a sensitive eye for details that enchant you. The rooms are spacious and furnished in a traditional style. The menu offers everything, even individual requests are of course catered for. Everything tastes fantastic and authentic. Excursions into the mountains, in gardens, or to a traditional Berber market can easily be organized. The stay at Les Borjs de la Kasbah was a paradise for us after the restrictions of the last few months. Thanks to Nora, Tom and your loyal team
Amazing gem of a place. When booking my surprise birthday treat for my sister, I was recommended to stay at Les Borjs de la Kasbah. I can’t overstate how wonderful our experience was at this haven of a place, not least the part played by the owners and their staff. On arrival we were greeted outside with the warmest of welcomes and served mint tea and a selections of local made pastries. The bedroom and view over the court yard was amazing, very clean spacious and even had a mini bar. There is a lovely pool where sunbeds and towels are provided. The staff are friendly, making sure you are never without food or drink. This brings me to the breakfast. Wow! Put it this way you will not need lunch. Dinner was great too and we had a beautiful table under the stars with a good bottle of wine. For exploring the medina you are a about a 15 minutes walk however taxis are always available and you can get a good deal. I will absolutely be back to stay in this beautiful friendly haven of a place.
The road through the Kasbah part of the Marrakech Medina is nothing short of spectacular. At Les Borjs, Tom and Nora are exceptional in their hospitality and the restoration of their facility is both completely modern and a beautiful expression of Moroccan art and culture. Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities and room comfort all excellent. I would absolutely return for a longer stay without question.
Exceptional - a true Haven, friendly staff and felt so welcome. Wonderful food and drink, beautiful room very clean. Great location for exploring the area.
Borjs de la Kasbah is well centrally located. Once you enter the door you enter an oasis of peace. The rooms are decorated in a charming Moroccan style with all facilities (TV, air conditioning, free WiFi). What distinguishes this Riad? Let's start with the swimming pool, absolutely wonderful to relax. Let's move on to the breakfast where everything is provided. Not to mention lunch/dinner (they employ a top chef I suspect). What makes Borjs the best Riad in Marrakech? The owners (Nora and Tom) who are friendly, service-minded and passionate about their customers. You will love to come back to this Riad! Definitely recommended!
I had the pleasure to stay here on the lead up to new year and into early 2020. Everything was perfect. The staff are just so wonderfully accommodating, the rooms are so comfortable and very well kept and the food is divine. We even took part in a cooking course where we made traditional Moroccan dishes, comprising several courses. This is a must do ! What really made our stay unforgettable was the New Year's Eve bash. It really is one for the books and not to be missed! The whole evening was spectacularly executed and well organised. The entertainment (fire breathers, traditional musicians, magician, belly dancers...) was unparalleled. I couldn't have asked for a better way to ring in a new year. The team at Les Borjs is so bubbly, warm and eager to help. A big hats off to them in making the bash what it was ! The food and decor as well were truly impressive. This boutique hotel is unlike any other. In the heart of the medina, a beautiful oasis, close enough to all the action but ultra relaxing (highly recommend the spa, which made it even more relaxing!). I will certainly be returning !! Thank you, Tom and Nora, for being so welcoming and creating a family ambiance. Best wishes!
