Elegant Moorish
Situated in the north part of the old city of Marrakech, this luxury hotel is within one of the most authentic areas of the medina. It is within walking distance of most of the attractions. The Koutoubia Mosque and the souk with its bargains in carpets, silver and leather goods are all within easy reach of this boutique hotel. The chaotic entertainment of the central Jemaa el Fna Square is a pleasant fifteen minute walk away. The airport is 20 minutes drive from the Ryad Dyor and transfers can be arranged through this luxury hotel.
Hidden behind a typical wooden front door, this riad style hotel is distinctly different from many other boutique hotels in Marrakech. Retaining the authentic courtyard centerpiece and elegant doorways, the Ryad Dyor is furnished to a high standard in a chic and contemporary fashion by the designer-owners. A former merchant’s home, it took three years to accomplish the high standard finish of this lovely boutique hotel.
The truly personal service begins the moment your booking is confirmed as your preferences are requested for type of pillow, wine in the mini-bar, choice of newspaper and all the small things that make good service absolutely perfect.
Behind the thick walls of the street lies a quiet oasis of comfort for those who choose to stay at the Ryad Dyor. With just 7 luxuriously furnished rooms and suites, all overlooking the central terraced courtyard, the neutral grey and brown décor is a harmonious blend designed to relax and calm. The local tadelakt stone is used to good effect in the modern bathrooms and Moorish style fireplaces and eastern lanterns add to the ambience.
The cuisine at the Ryad Dyor is excellent and the chef offers traditional Moroccan or French cuisine served with spectacular views of the mountains from the rooftop terrace.
The on-site hammam offers a great sauna and steam experience before cooling off in the small courtyard pool. The indoor lounge area has WiFi internet services and a library of books for guests to enjoy. The hotel also offers a booking service for local trips.
