Riad el Zohar
"an 18th century historic riad ..."
Stay at Riad el Zohar
Five En-suite Guest Rooms
Ideally located in the heart if the medina, just a few minutes walk away from Marrakech’s main attractions, Riad el Zohar is the perfect base to get to know Marrakech. Despite this central location, this traditional riad is set in a very quiet district and remains a haven of peace and tranquillity.
The main courtyard is dominated by the 7-metre plunge pool, which is essential on hot Moroccan days, which sits alongside a large dining patio area and a dining salon. On the first floor there is a formal salon with a 250-year-old original hand painted red cedar ceiling.
On the roof is a substantial terrace with several quiet corners to relax, take breakfast, or dine. There is a large comfortable tent where you can relax all day or romantically dine on a warm evening. On the sun terrace you can sunbathe on loungers or relax on sofas in the shade of a smaller tent overlooking the Medina rooftops to the Koutobia Mosque and the snow capped High Atlas mountains. Indeed, this is one of the best views of any riad in Marrakech and it is a delight to see the illuminated Koutobia Mosque in the evenings.
The en-suite bedrooms, which are arranged around the central courtyard, are all furbished to the same high standard featuring traditional Tadelakt polished plaster. The bedrooms all have air conditioning, which cools in summer and reverses to heat in winter.
Complimentary tea and coffee are served all day and the price of the rooms includes all payable taxes. WiFi is free and available throughout the riad. Guests are supplied with maps and copious advice and information to enhance their visit to Marrakech.
Please Note – no children under 8 yrs, unless the whole riad is hired by a family or group.
Base prices are in £Sterling: Euro, USD and Moroccan dirham rates will vary by exchange rate.
