Set in an eighteenth century traditional, Moroccan building, this luxurious riad is located in Marrakesh. Guests can enjoy the outdoor swimming pool, the sauna and the steam bath, just a 25-minutes walk from Jemaa el-Fna Square. You can feel utterly spoilt with great personal attention in this magnificent mansion inside the ancient medina walls. The medina is a great choice for souks, shopaholics and markets.

The riad is completely restored by teams of Morocco’s most highly skilled craftsmen, who have recreated this gem of Moorish architecture, where guests can capture an authentic experience from days gone by. The eleven lavish guest rooms and suites are situated around three open-air courtyards and are decorated in traditional, Moroccan style, and feature carved wooden furniture and a fireplace.

The breakfast is generous and you can have multi-course Moroccan feasts, served wherever you want – in your room, on the rooftop terrace, by the fire in one of the lounges.
