Welcome to Marrakech, the Imperial Pink City! Welcome upon your arrival at Marrakech-Menara airport and transfer to your Riad to settle in and relax on the terrace.

Night at your Riad: ideally located an 11-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fna square, the Riad was inspired, for its decoration, by Moorish motifs and ancestral craftsmanship, which gives it a unique charm. Between materials and colors, you can enjoy this sensory journey to relax in its indoor pool, bask during a massage in the hammam and « chill » on its furnished rooftop terrace.

Take a walk around the Riad, near the rue des Consuls, the marina, and the Mohammed VI museum of modern and contemporary art. Night at your Riad: on the edge of the medina, close to the Oudayas kasbah and its beautiful Andalusian garden, the Riad is a small, comfortable, and authentic establishment full of charm.
