Riad Assala  

In the winding heart of Marrakech’s Medina, steps from Jemaa el-Fna and Koutoubia Mosque. Tucked between Dar El Bacha and the main square, the riad is also close to Ben Youssef Madrasa, Maison de la Photographie and the train station, with Majorelle Garden about 2.2 miles away. A compact, family-friendly riad ideal for exploring the souks on foot.

A small guest house with just six individually decorated bedrooms clustered around two patios — the oldest dating to the 17th century with sculpted plaster, the newer one built around a pool. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with private showers, bathrobes, safes and daily housekeeping. Rooftop terraces for sunbathing and an on-site hammam add authentic Moroccan flair.

Seasonal outdoor pool, steam room and hammam, plus massages and a solarium to unwind. Concierge, luggage storage and laundry services keep things easy. Airport and area shuttle services (surcharge), tour desk and car rental available. Wake up to courtyard light and the scent of mint tea.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a 24-hour front desk. Luggage storage and roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) make short stays efficient.

On-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with room service during limited hours. The menu leans into local Moroccan flavors for a true Medina dining experience.
