Marrakech is always a thrill. That feeling of being immersed in the clatter and colour deep in the souk, haggling for Berber-inspired jewellery, fine woven rugs and the freshest saffron you could hope to find, whilst dodging moped riders through ancient market alleyways.
When senses reach such a saturation point, stepping into a serene private riad is an experience that never fails to lower the heart rate and seduce with a sense of calm.
And if a sense of serenity was part of a star rating, the new Nobu Riad would be up there in the five-star-plus category.
