Three riads. Three different personalities. One very personal way to experience Marrakech

Riad Star by Marrakech Riad — a welcoming Medina hideaway for families, groups and curious travellers.
Riad Cinnamon by Marrakech Riad — an intimate, peaceful retreat in a traditional merchants' house.
Riad Spice by Marrakech Riad — historic Marrakech character, a dipping pool and a secret rooftop.

Each has its own story, but all share the same aim: helping you experience Marrakech in a more personal way.

Which one feels right for your next Marrakech escape?

Discover all three and book directly through our website: www.marrakech-riad.co.uk

Sometimes the best moments in Marrakech are the simplest ones.

A quiet breakfast, the sound of the fountain, the first mint tea of the morning and a day waiting to be discovered just outside the door.

This is the pleasure of staying in a traditional riad in the heart of the Medina.

We'd love to welcome you to Marrakech. www.marrakech-riad.co.uk

A little look inside our kitchen at Riad Star by Marrakech Riad.

One of the things we love about our cooking classes is that it isn't just about learning a few Moroccan recipes.

It's about spending time together in the kitchen, preparing the food, sharing a few laughs and then sitting down to enjoy what you've made.

This is Marrakech from another side — less about ticking things off a list, and more about spending a few hours doing something together.

If you're staying with us and would like to join one of our cooking classes, just get in touch with us.

Come and cook with us in Marrakech.

We’re in The Times!

We’re delighted to share that Riad Star has been included in The Times’ selection of the 16 best riads in Marrakech.

It’s always lovely when someone discovers the story behind our little riad and wants to share it — from our Moroccan craftsmanship and Art Deco details to the fascinating connection with Josephine Baker.

Over the years, Riad Star has welcomed journalists, photographers, television crews and travellers from all over the world. Gordon, Gino & Fred even came to cook with us! 👨‍🍳
So seeing Riad Star featured once again, more than ten years after we first opened our doors, is a very special moment for us.

Thank you to everyone who has helped tell our story — and to all our guests who continue to be part of it. ❤️

Marrakech in late September!

The summer heat is beginning to ease, the Medina is lively again and the evenings are becoming particularly pleasant.

It is one of our favourite times of year in Marrakech.

A morning wandering around the souks, lunch on a rooftop, perhaps a hammam in the afternoon and then dinner on our terrace as the evening cools.

If you're thinking about coming to Marrakech this autumn, it's a very good time to start planning.

Our three riads are in the heart of the Medina, and we're always happy to help with restaurants, transfers, excursions and ideas for your stay.

World Storytelling Cafe is proud to be a partner of the Orange Blossom Festival

World Storytelling Cafe is proud to be a partner of the Orange Blossom Festival.

On 27 March at 5:00 PM, join us at the World Storytelling Cafe in Marrakech for a special live demonstration of traditional orange blossom distillation. Fresh orange blossoms will be processed in traditional copper stills at the cafe to produce natural orange blossom water, just as it has been done for generations.

And of course, no evening at the cafe would be complete without storytelling, bringing together culture, tradition, and community.

* Everyone is welcome to come, watch the distillation, enjoy the atmosphere, and listen to stories.*
