Fodor's Expert Review Le Farnatchi

2, Derb el Farnatchi, Marrakesh, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco

On the souk's northern tip is this lavish riad spread across five adjoining properties, known for its fabulous decor and elite clientele (Angelina Jolie and Russell Crowe have stayed here). Its location in the heart of the busy El Mok'f neighborhood may be a bit more on the edgy side, but once you've reached the riad, you may never want to leave. TVs are hidden behind carved moucharabia screens and iPod docks are filled with cool tunes. Hidden alcoves and salons are great places to grab a meal, but don't miss the terrace for sunset.
