Ahhh, Marrakech. It's impossible not to fall in love with this exotic city. Spend hours losing yourself in the Medina, browsing the stalls and breathing in the scents of leather, cinnamon and spices. If you'd rather not stay in a big hotel, but don't know where to start when it comes to finding a sexy little riad, here's something to make your life easier. Angsana resorts, which is owned by Banyan Tree, will launch its Riads Marrakech Collection on 1 December 2007. The collection will include eight riads, and each one will feature an Angsana Spa. Seven of the riads will be located in the ancient Medina, and the eighth will be in the coastal city of Essaouira. Each riad is different, but guests can expect only a handful of rooms, cosy libraries, swimming pools and traditional hammams. Angsana Riads will also have riad hosts to help out with any and all guests' needs, whether that's helping to design a shopping or sightseeing itinerary, or arranging dinner reservations. For reservations, call 0065 6849 5788.
