Hotel & Ryad Art Place Marrakech: Boutique Stay
Experience traditional Moroccan charm and novel adventures
Why we love it
The setting
Hotel & Ryad Art Place sits inside the Marrakech medina, a short walk from the old city's main square. The building follows the riad layout, with rooms arranged around interior courtyards under a glass-topped atrium. Carved wood, tilework and patterned rugs run through the public spaces. You step straight out into the lanes of the souks, so the markets, food stalls and historic sights are reachable on foot rather than by taxi.
What to expect
Rooms keep the traditional Moroccan style, with carved headboards, tiled detailing and warm colours. The booked rate is room only, so breakfast can be added when you reserve. There is a rooftop pool with loungers for the afternoon, plus an on-site restaurant and several seating courtyards downstairs. The five-night stay for two gives you time to settle in rather than rushing between sights.
Things to do nearby
Djemaa el Fna, the medina's main square, is about 104 metres away, which puts the evening food stalls and performers a couple of minutes from the door. Rahba Kedima, the spice and craft market, is around 363 metres on. The Dar Tiskiwin Museum, with its collection of Moroccan and Saharan art, is roughly 385 metres away, and the Mouassine Mosque is about 424 metres from the hotel. Everything sits within the walled old town.
Best for
This suits couples who want to be inside the medina and on foot for the souks and the main square, with a rooftop pool to come back to in the heat of the day.
