Riad Ariha
Hotel Type: Riad / Dar
Environment: City
Number of Rooms: 5
Style: Zen
Tasteful Marrakech Riad with elegant design.
The Riad Ariha may be a century old and renovated using authentic building materials, but there’s nothing old fashioned about it. In fact, its simple lines and restrained decoration give it a rather Zen like quality, and certainly the Ariha is a perfect setting to relax in old Marrakech.
Though located in the Medina, it is about a 15-minute walk from the main square of Jemma el Fna, though in many ways this is actually a blessing. For one, it makes it less prone to throngs of tourists and therefore the feel is somewhat more authentic. Also there is plenty along the way to entrance and entice. Everything is clearly defined here and, as is fundamental in Morocco, spotlessly clean. There is central courtyard with fountain and to one side a small dipping pool. It’s a marvelously refreshing sight, especially after coming back from a hard days’ work seeing the sights.
The rooms are pretty relaxing too! All five are large and beautifully decorated with fine sheets and blankets, plus their own bathroom and shower. It is a successful combination of the modernity of minimalism and the beauty of Moroccan craftsmanship, where little details such as the use of stucco and tadelakt abound. Clean lines, a sensation of spaciousness and light make for a peaceful stay at the Riad Ariha.
The roof terrace has a lovely view of the Atlas mountains in the distance makes it a great place to relax and read a book.
