Riad Vendôme is the ideal venue for a corporate event in Marrakech for 15 guests with full exclusive hire, or for 20 guests using both riads. The meeting room and the rooftop offer two distinct workspaces. We also welcome a corporate event in Marrakech for 10 guests with semi-exclusive hire, and up to 30 guests across two riads. Riad Vendôme is recognised as the leading riad for corporate seminars in Marrakech, a private riad seminar venue designed for the discerning professional.
The riad has several spaces suitable for your work sessions: the indoor lounge (air-conditioned, 15-20 seats), the patio (open-air, bright), the rooftop (300m², panoramic view) and the terraces (breakout rooms). Fibre-optic wifi is available throughout the riad — sufficient for video conferences and presentations. Video projector and screen available on request.

Direct quote for your seminar — no intermediary on the file
The meeting space and the rooms are quoted together, directly by the riad. A company gets a group rate; an agency reselling the programme gets a net rate under a direct contract. There is no OTA in the chain and no local intermediary adding a margin on the ground, so one single point of contact answers on availability, catering, equipment and transfers, and the written proposal reaches you within 24 hours.
Corporate Access — 100 metres from Bab Doukkala for Easy Equipment Transport
Corporate seminars often involve heavy equipment: projectors, laptop bags, presentation materials, sample products. Carrying this through narrow medina alleys is impractical. Riad Vendôme is in the Dar El Bacha district, 100 metres from the Dar El Bacha Palace and 100 metres from Bab Doukkala, the northern medina gate. The free 24/7 car park at the gate accepts vans and 4×4s with equipment, and a flat 3-minute pedestrian walk takes everything to the riad — no stairs.
For corporate transfers: we arrange private 4×4 shuttles from the airport directly to Bab Doukkala (15€/person or 60€/vehicle for 4 guests). Equipment is unloaded at the car park, then carried with a porter (5€) on the flat lane to the riad. Daily transfers to off-site meeting rooms or excursion venues (Agafay desert team-building, golf courses) also depart from this car park. Practical, professional, predictable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the riad have wifi for seminars?
Yes, fibre optic wifi high-speed throughout the riad. Adequate for video calls, presentations and collaborative work.
How much does a corporate event at Riad Vendôme cost?
For 20 guests (3 days/2 nights, private riad, half board, 1 activity team building): expect 4 000-6 €0, i.e. €200-261/persononne.
Why Marrakech Outperforms Lisbon, Barcelona and Budapest for Corporate Events
The argument for taking your team to Morocco is stronger than it first appears. Flight time from London: 3h30. From Paris or Brussels: 3h00. No visa required for EU and UK nationals. Temperature in February, when much of northern Europe is grey: 22°C. The cost advantage is significant — a full-day offsite in this city (venue, catering, activity, spa) typically costs 35–40% less than an equivalent event in Lisbon or Barcelona.
The cultural dimension matters too. A corporate event in an exotic medina — souks, tanneries, riads, the call to prayer at dusk — generates a shared experience and a conversation that a generic conference centre simply cannot create. Teams return more cohesive, and the memory of a cooking class with Chef Naima or a hammam evening after a long day of workshops tends to stay with participants for years. Riad Vendôme has been the setting for over 500 events since 2013, including teams from CAC40 companies, London agencies, and Swiss law firms.

How do delegates travel to Marrakech from the US and Canada?
There are no non-stop flights from the United States; from New York allow about 8 to 9 hours via Casablanca on Royal Air Maroc, which hubs there. From Canada, Royal Air Maroc runs a seasonal non-stop from Montreal to Casablanca, then a short connection to Marrakech. The airport is about 20 minutes from the riad, convenient for international delegations.
Where exactly is Riad Vendome located in Marrakech?
Riad Vendome is at 217 Derb El Halfaoui, in the Dar El Bacha district of the Marrakech medina. It is a 7-minute walk from Jemaa El-Fna square, close to the Koutoubia and the souks, so you reach the main sights on foot without needing a taxi. A member of staff meets you at the nearest vehicle drop-off point on arrival.
How do I book, and how quickly do you reply?
You contract directly with the riad, not through an OTA or an aggregator: one single point of contact from the first enquiry to the invoice. Send your dates and group size on WhatsApp at +212 600 608 608, or go through our Marrakech DMC desk, and you receive a written quote, at our net rate, within 24 hours. There is no automated booking engine: every stay is confirmed by a person, and the payment terms are set out in the quote you receive.
Can the whole riad be privatised, and for how many guests?
Yes, Riad Vendome can be hired exclusively. The main riad has 12 rooms and goes up to 20 rooms with our second riad 100 metres away, for exclusive hire of up to 45 guests. During an exclusive hire there are no other guests: the pool, hammam, jacuzzi and rooftop are reserved for your group alone.
Is there Wi-Fi in the rooms, and is it fast enough to work?
Yes, 100 Mb fibre optic, free, in the rooms and in the common areas — the patio, the Moroccan lounge with its fireplace and library, and the rooftop. It carries video calls, which is why the riad is used for small seminars and for remote workers. If you need to hold a call at a set hour, tell Éric and he will point you to the quietest corner at that time of day.
