The hotel

Riad in the old medina

From the lane you see a carved cedar door and nothing else. Inside are two courtyards: one with a fountain and orange trees, the other with a tiled plunge pool. The sixteen rooms open onto the galleries above.

The riad is two minutes' walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa, but the lane is quiet. In the morning you wake to the call to prayer and the smell of bread from the communal oven next door.

  • Hammam
  • Plunge pool
  • Roof terrace
  • Breakfast in the courtyard

Location

Where we are

Marrakech airport is 20 minutes away by car. Cars can not enter the medina, so our driver drops you at the Koutoubia car park, where our porter meets you.

Why book with us, not a travel site

The room is the same either way. Booking here gets you a few things the travel sites can not give you.

Questions

What guests ask

The four questions we hear most.

How do I find the riad?

Our porter meets you at the car park by the Koutoubia and walks you in. The lanes are hard to find the first time.

Is the hammam included?

A hammam ritual for two is included with the three-night offer. Otherwise it is €55 per person.

Do you serve alcohol?

Yes. Moroccan wine and beer are served at dinner and on the roof terrace.

Is breakfast included?

Yes, when you book on this website. It is served in the courtyard until 11.
