Riad Maison Arabo-Andalouse  

In the heart of Marrakech’s Mechouar Kasbah, inside the old Medina walls and footsteps from El Badi Palace. This family-friendly riad/guesthouse sits a short walk from Mellah Market, the Saadian Tombs, Museum of Moroccan Arts, Jemaa el-Fnaa and Koutoubia Mosque, and is about 4 km from Marrakech-Menara Airport.

This Art Deco–meets-traditional riad shows off stucco, encaustic tiles, cedar carvings and vaulted brick ceilings. There are eight individually decorated rooms, several with private patios or terraces and one suite adapted for limited mobility. Expect cozy touches like fireplaces in the salon, daily housekeeping and private bathrooms with showers or tubs.

Lounge on the rooftop terrace with palace-wall and stork-nest views, or cool off in the garden plunge pool and outdoor pool. The on-site spa, massage room and solarium keep things relaxed, while a library, barbecue area and playrooms entertain kids. Practical perks include free wired and wireless internet, parking, bicycle rental, tour desk and shuttle/transfer options.

Small meeting facilities are available along with express check-in/check-out and limo/town car service. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected.

Enjoy Moroccan dishes made from local products in the riad’s restaurant, grab a snack in the café or sip cocktails at the bar/lounge. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to noon, and room service is available during limited hours.
