Riad Azzar Marrakesh

Riad Azzar Marrakesh, nestled in the heart of Medina, offers a grandeur and eloquent design as uncovered by recent restoration, giving a glimpse of its former stature as the spiritual capital and the artistic center of the Almohad empire. As you enter the property, an atmosphere of refined charm is apparent, with an elegant courtyard area featuring a gorgeous plunge pool, creating a peaceful oasis lush with plants and cooled by fountains and pools. The spacious, light-filled courtyard with warm bejmat tiles underfoot and an emerald green splash pool surrounded by bamboo and a shady banana tree is central to the concept of Riad life. The property boasts six beautifully decorated and spacious air-conditioned rooms, each adorned with African artworks and a patio splash pool shaded by a nodding banana tree. Bathrooms, outfitted in marble and tadelakt, come with showers, and guests can also enjoy a large private terrace and direct access to the roof terrace and sun-bathing area. Riad Azzar is the perfect place to hold special occasions, such as birthday parties, anniversaries, reunions, and photo shoots, offering a unique insight into Moroccan culture and way of life. Dining at Riad Azzar is an experience to remember, with everything from rooftop breakfasts of traditional Moroccan cuisine to romantic candlelight dinners beside the fireplace in the cozy and comfortable dining room. The culinary delights of excellent cook Fatima will tantalize your taste buds with authentic Moroccan flavors. Guests can also opt for a cookery course at Riad Azzar's larger second property, Riad Siwan, managed by the Dutch couple, Maryk and Cees. The hotel's location in Medina offers the chance to explore the historic walled city, which used to close its gates at night to keep those within safe. Guests can also venture out to enjoy a ride to the Agafay Desert or take a visit to the Kasbah Telouet and/or Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, experiencing the unreal landscapes and fortified villages, providing a unique blend of traditional and adventurous experiences. Whether for a relaxing retreat or an immersive cultural exploration, Riad Azzar Marrakesh promises an unforgettable stay.
