Riad Spice, Traditional guest house in Marrakech Medina, Morocco.
Riad Spice is a guest house in Marrakech's Medina, built on traditional Moroccan architectural principles. The property contains ten rooms, a courtyard pool, and a rooftop terrace that overlooks the city and distant mountains.
The building was home to the same family for many generations, who worked as traders, farmers, and community leaders. This long family connection shaped the property's authentic character until the family moved on in the early 2000s.
The rooms bear names like Ginger and Saffron, reflecting Morocco's long culinary heritage. Hand-carved woodwork, detailed plasterwork, and traditional tiles shape how the space feels and what it represents to visitors.
Moroccan breakfast is served at times that suit each guest, and the house provides free WiFi and air conditioning throughout. Complimentary airport transfers make arrival convenient for those traveling by plane.
The house has a cooking school where visitors can learn traditional Moroccan recipes from experienced cooks. This adds a hands-on element to the stay beyond typical guest house activities.
