US Books > Reference > Writing > Travel

Marrakech has hosted superstars from Paul Bowles to Richard Branson, whose long-awaited “kasbah” (fortress) hotel opened in March 2005. This practical guide shows seasoned visitors and first-timers how to make the most of this pink-walled city on the edge of the Atlas Mountains. More than 80 of the city’s famed riads (boutique hotels) are profiled, while maps of the labyrinthine alleys of the Old City mark every monument, museum, hotel, restaurant, and bar for easy reference. Local writers provide insightful coverage and analysis of local culture, traditions, and arts that have made Marrakech a magnet for the international set.
