What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Dar Seven is a vision in white. Sure, you’ll recognize traditional architecture and decor here, from the open-air courtyard to the high arched doorways to the carved wooden furnishings.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A residential alley in Sidi Ben Slimane leads to the door, a short walk north of the medina's souks.
The rooms
Carved cedar furniture and linen curtains fill the bedrooms, and smooth tadelakt lines each bathroom.
Restaurant
Rooftop Terrace
Breakfast and tagines are served under a striped canopy looking out across the rooftops of the medina.
At the table
Moroccan home cooking is prepared on request and served by lantern light in the central courtyard.
How it began
Italian aristocrat Princess Letizia Ruspoli bought the riad as a personal vacation home before opening its doors to guests.
