Fodor's Expert Review Jnane Mogador
116, riad Zitoun Kedim, Derb Sidi Bouloukate, Marrakesh, Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, Morocco
This well-managed, budget riad is a cut above the rest with an ideal location just a stone's throw from Place Djemâa el Fna. The decor is simple with Moroccan textiles, rugs, and lamps adding a splash of color to each of the bedrooms, which are clean and well-appointed. A central patio fountain, brightly tiled floors, tadelakt columns, rooftop terraces, and cascading plants contribute to an air of elegance. Meals are available in the hotel's salon restaurant, which has a cozy fireplace for winter and long, low cushioned benches for relaxing. There is also a terrace and a traditional 'caidal' tent for dining or just hiding yourself away with a book. Meals must be requested in advance.
