Riad Al Moussika

A luxury riyad hotel in Marrakech

---

Riyad Al Moussika, once the residence of the notorious Pasha of Marrakech, is a spacious traditional Moroccan Palace with black and white Carrara marble chequered floors and cedar wood ceilings. It lies just a five minute walk from the Place Jemaa el Fna, hidden behind strong walls that shut out the bustle of the Marrakech medina.

This haven is built around a series of courtyards, a sensory overload of mosaic tiles, carved and painted wood, beautiful paintings and luxuriant rugs and furnishings. Although the Riyad has only six guestrooms, there are a multiplicity of places to relax, by the long decorative “Andaluz” pool, in the white marble Turkish bath, in the music room with it’s grand piano and doors out to the patio garden, on the rooftop terrace with its views of the medina and the Atlas mountains.

Each of the six rooms, all beautifully furnished, have decorative ceilings and all have en suite facilities with either bath or shower or both. Special care has been taken over the beds which have Egyptian cotton sheets, English lambswool blankets in winter, pure cotton covers in summer, goosedown or non-allergenic pillows and top quality mattresses in natural fibres with comfortable orthopaedic springs. A few days here will make every guest fall in love with the soothingly hedonistic luxuries of this magnificent style of living.

Owner Giovanni never fails to go the extra mile to make his guests feel totally at home and to share with them his love for his adopted city. His knowledge of Marrakech, the places to see, the places to eat, the places to shop, is the icing on the cake for a wonderful north African experience.

Restaurant:

Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are all available. The beautiful dining room is a delightful location for an intimate dinner. Chef Khalid (Grand Diploma Cordon Bleu) offers a delicious selection of Moroccan, Italian and French dishes, including plenty of options for vegetarians (on request).
