Riad Karmela  

In the heart of Marrakech’s old Medina, a riad just steps from the souks. It’s a 2-minute walk to the Souks Market entrance and to the Museum of Marrakech and Ben Youssef Madrasa. Jemaa el-Fnaa is about an 8-minute walk and Menara Airport sits roughly 5 km away.

Nineteen air-conditioned bedrooms plus family apartments sit across three houses linked by courtyards and terraces. Rooftop terraces and courtyards offer views over the Medina and glimpses of the Atlas Mountains, with a lobby fireplace and several lounge niches. Expect spa touches throughout: a summer plunge pool, summer jacuzzi, hammam, sauna, steam room and massage rooms.

Stand-out offerings include a spa and hammam, sauna and steam room, summer plunge pool and jacuzzi, large terraces and multiple lounge areas. On-site services cover day-trip and car rental desks, a pub plus bars and a restaurant, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout; an airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

A 24-hour business center and front desk keep things running. Concierge service, multilingual staff, laundry, luggage storage, safes and daily housekeeping are also available.

The riad serves a complimentary buffet breakfast daily and features an on-site restaurant and coffee shop. There are three bars and lounges plus limited-hours room service for late-night cravings.
