Riad Swaka  

In the heart of Marrakech’s Medina, a boutique spa riad tucked into the lively Riad Zitoun Jdid quarter. Steps from the Bahia Palace and Badii Palace, a short walk to the Mellah and Dar Si Said, and minutes by taxi from Jemaa el-Fnaa. Menara Airport sits about 60 km away, with an airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

A converted riad with warm ochre and brown-sand tones, a central patio fed by a fountain and terraces overlooking palace gardens. Intimate and individually decorated rooms are en suite and offer adjustable air conditioning and heating, safes, desks and daily housekeeping. Expect a relaxed, personal service—arrive for mint tea and traditional pastries, and unwind on sun loungers, in the reading nooks or the rooftop whirlpool.

Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus a steam room and hot tub. Outdoor pool and sunbathing terrace help you cool off after the souks. Concierge, parking, bicycle storage and laundry/room services keep things easy, and there’s a TV lounge and library for slow afternoons.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the riad and a computer station on site. Express check-in and express check-out available.

Complimentary full breakfast is served daily (8:00–10:00). On-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve Moroccan and international dishes, and room service is offered during limited hours. Staff can prepare meals on request for a truly local dining experience.
