17th-century riad next to royal palaces in Marrakesh's Medina

Accommodations & Rooms

The riad contains 6 guest rooms, each with a private bathroom and air conditioning. Two shaded courtyards and period furniture with cedar wood doors are part of the 17th-century structure. The Deluxe Double Room, Junior Suite, and Twin Room options are available, with some suites offering additional space.

Dining

A traditional Moroccan restaurant on site serves lunch and dinner, with home-cooked dishes like chicken and lemon tagine praised by guests. Complimentary breakfast is offered each morning, including eggs, bread, pancakes, yogurt, and mint tea. Dinner can be arranged upon request, with locally sourced ingredients used in the preparation.

Wellness & Relaxation

Guests have access to an indoor swimming pool and a hammam for relaxation and traditional body treatments. Massage therapy, body scrubs, and steam room facilities are available at the spa and wellness centre. A rooftop terrace with sun loungers and a solarium provides additional space for sunbathing and city views.

Location & Excursions

The riad is located in Marrakesh's Medina, a 5-minute walk from Jamaâ El Fna Square and set next to one of the Royal Palaces. Le Jardin Secret and Majorelle Gardens are within walking distance, as are the central souks.

Architecture: 17th-century building with two courtyards and cedar wood doors

“This 17th-century building places you steps away from the bustling souks, yet its calm ambiance provides a welcome retreat. I was particularly struck by the dedicated staff and traditional Moroccan meals, making it a cultural and culinary experience to remember. Its architecture, combined with modern comforts, provides an intimate look into Marrakesh.”
