Riad Art & Emotions Boutique Hotel & Spa, Traditional riad hotel in the medina, Marrakech, Morocco.
When you step inside this riad, you feel like entering a calm oasis where soft colors and intricate tiles create a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to slow down and relax away from the busy streets outside.
The building reflects the traditional Moroccan architecture that has shaped homes in Marrakech for centuries, with arched doorways and a central courtyard that keeps the space cool and quiet even during the warmest months of the year.
Guests often enjoy mint tea on the rooftop terrace at sunset, a daily ritual that captures the Moroccan love for sharing moments of calm and hospitality while watching the medina come alive with evening sounds and lights below.
The riad is located just a short walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa square, making it easy to explore the markets and historic sites on foot while returning to a tranquil space where the staff can arrange tours or recommend local restaurants for dinner.
Many visitors mention the warm breakfast served on the sunny terrace, where fresh orange juice and homemade bread feel especially delicious while you listen to the distant call to prayer echoing over the rooftops of the old city around you.

The riads of Marrakech are old Moroccan houses turned into places to stay. Built around a central courtyard, these traditional buildings hide behind quiet doors in the streets of the medina. They often have a pool, a fountain, or a inner garden, and a roof terrace that offers views of the city and sometimes the Atlas Mountains in the distance. These places blend local architecture with modern comfort. Some date back to the 18th or 19th century and keep their original decoration with colorful tiles, carved wood, and painted ceilings. Others add modern touches like stylish lounges or wellness areas with a hammam. Most are just a few minutes walk from Djemaa El Fna square and the old city markets.
