EL FENN

Madonna celebrated her 60th birthday at El Fenn, while Katy Perry and Gwyneth Paltrow have also spent nights in its eye-popping rooms. Co-owned by Vanessa Branson, Richard Branson's sister, this rock star of a riad turns 20 this year but keeps things fresh with the addition of 10 new rooms.
