About us

The owners

We were already impressed by Africa on our first visit together in 1992. The warm light, the many intense smells, the exotic sounds, the magnif­i­cent land­scapes, the history and, above all, the people — all this left us with a last­ing longing. 

We visited Marrakesh for the first time in 2016 and were imme­di­ately in love. The Red City impressed us in all areas. We came back a second and, of course, a third time. The expe­ri­ences and conver­sa­tions in Marrakesh ended with the search for our place in this wonder­ful city.

After many riad view­ings in all corners of the medina, the Riad Selouane won our hearts. This was followed by the lengthy process of deal­ing with the neces­sary author­i­ties, the notary and the tax office. 

In Febru­ary 2019, after a series of inten­sive visits, the time had finally come: together with our local team, we took over the Riad Selouane. Our passion became reality. 

Today, we try to make our guests’ stay even more beau­ti­ful with a love of detail. Our motto: It’s the sum of the details that makes for a time full of good memories. 

It’s our team, it’s the flair. We work a lot with crafts­men from the medina. Using their skills that have been passed down for gener­a­tions, their tradi­tional mate­ri­als. This is very inspir­ing every time. The conver­sa­tions with our guests encour­age us in this approach. Our guests feel it too. 

With this in mind — be our guest and be inspired by Marrakesh. We look forward to seeing you.
