{suitcase tuesday: el fenn in marrakech...}

I've been home from Morocco nearly a month already and can't believe I have yet to share with you the property gems of Marrakech!

I have to start with Vanessa Branson's Riad El Fenn because it is such a magical little hideaway in the bustling Medina. I was fortunate to spend one night here and felt perfectly at home. The boho-rustic decor is cozy and inviting, especially in the crisp air of November. Each of the 21 rooms has its own personality (mine had red leather walls!) and there are no keys for the doors.

In the morning, a beautiful tray of mint tea and fruit waits outside each room and can be enjoyed in one of several courtyards or on the breathtaking rooftop. At night, the roof twinkles with hanging lights and candles and offers a stunning view of the Katuba Kasbah.

For a serene and romantic spin on Marrakech, this is absolutely the perfect choice.
