Riad Kheirredine, Traditional hotel in the Medina, Marrakesh, Morocco.
When you step through the heavy wooden door, the noise and energy of the Medina streets fade away, and you find yourself in a quiet courtyard filled with plants, fountains, and a calming atmosphere that feels like a hidden oasis.
The building follows the classic design of old Moroccan riads, with thick walls and courtyards that have sheltered travelers for generations, preserving the architectural traditions of Marrakesh while offering a glimpse into how people lived in the past.
Moroccan hospitality shines here through mint tea on arrival, staff who treat you like family, and the chance to experience a traditional hammam steam bath that locals have enjoyed for centuries as part of their daily rituals.
The riad sits in a quieter part of the Medina about a 15-minute walk from the main square, and the staff provide a local phone so you can call if you get lost in the winding streets or need help finding your way back.
The rooftop has a pool where you can swim while looking out over the terracotta rooftops of Marrakesh and the Atlas Mountains (around 2 miles or 3 km high) in the distance, creating a feeling of floating above the old city.
