Riad Meriem  

In the heart of Marrakech’s Medina, a boutique riad just steps from the Marrakech Museum and minutes from Jemaa el-Fnaa. Ben Youssef Madrasa, Rahba Kedima and the House of Photography are all a short walk away; Menara Airport is about 9.3 km.

This art-lover’s hideaway was designed by Thomas Hays and crafted by Marrakchi artisans, mixing oriental textiles, original paintings and fine art photography. The riad has five air-conditioned guestrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, designer toiletries, safes and daily housekeeping, plus a terrace for city views.

Dip into an outdoor pool or unwind in the indoor pool, then treat yourself in the massage room — spa and water treatments are available. Complimentary wireless internet, a 24-hour front desk and concierge services keep things easy; a roundtrip airport shuttle is offered for a surcharge.

Services include dry cleaning and laundry, luggage storage, multilingual staff and private check-in/check-out — practical touches for working or long-stay guests.

Enjoy the riad’s on-site restaurant and relaxed bar, grab room service during limited hours, and start mornings with a complimentary continental breakfast.
