Riad Al Riad – A Favorite for Families in Marrakesh

Riad Al Riad sits on a quiet street inside the Medina, with Le Jardin Secret just metres away and Mouassine Museum a 2-minute walk. Djemaa El Fna square is 600 metres from the property, and Koutoubia Mosque lies less than 1 km away. The hotel provides a free airport shuttle service for transfers, plus luggage porters who carry suitcases through the narrow alleys to the doorstep.

Guest rooms are air-conditioned and include a seating area, private bathroom with a walk-in shower, bathrobes, and free toiletries. Select rooms have a sofa bed, TV, dining area, and executive lounge access. Family rooms are available, and bathrooms include a magnifying mirror and oversized towels.

Breakfast is served daily with continental, halal, and gluten-free options, including local specialities, fresh juice, pancakes, cheese, and fruits. The bar offers a variety of beverages, and guests can also book dinner at the riad. Authentic Moroccan cooking classes are held on the rooftop terrace at sunset, led by the chef Samira, who teaches participants to prepare tagines and Moroccan vegetables using fresh ingredients bought at the Medina market.

The hotel operates a 24-hour front desk and offers daily housekeeping, a tour desk, and a shared lounge/TV area. Safety features include smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, 24-hour security, and CCTV in common areas and outside the property. The rooftop terrace provides mountain views, sun umbrellas, and a sun terrace, and the hotel also runs themed dinner nights and arranges custom tours and activities for guests.

Staff arrange free airport pickup and drop-off, and can organise laundry service and luggage transport from the Medina wall to the riad. Guests are welcomed with mint tea upon arrival, and the hotel provides free bottled water and can prepare early breakfast bags for day trips. The property is family-friendly with children welcome, and the riad has only about 8 rooms, keeping the atmosphere quiet and intimate.
