Stylish boutique riad hotel dating back to the 1600s facing the gates of the Royal Palace in Marrakesh

A Riad is a traditional Arab house, which is built around a courtyard with fruit trees and a fountain and is the traditional architectural style of Morocco. Morocco’s most famous architect, Charles Boccara, led the renovation that lasted 4 years using only traditional materials and techniques. With its privileged position facing the gates of the Royal Palace, this riad was once the home of a wealthy spice merchant and dates back to the 1600’s. The riad offers 11 guest rooms and suites, spa, massage and beauty treatments. The riad is located in the heart of the old town of Marrakech, the medina. With parking and many of the important sites only a few steps away, it offers an excellent base for exploring the historic city of Marrakesh.
