What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The whole point of a riad hotel is that when you’re within its walls, the rest of the world is reduced to atmosphere…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked into the Riad Laarous quarter, the riad sits steps from spice-filled alleyways and a short walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa.
The rooms
Four characterful rooms pair carved dark-wood ceilings with statement copper soaking tubs, marble baths, or open-air showers.
The plunge pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The square deep-sea-blue plunge pool sits at the center of the courtyard, lit by lanterns at night.
Restaurant
Rooftop Terrace
Lunches of slow-cooked tagines and pastillas are served under a green pergola overlooking the medina rooftops.
At the table
The kitchen bakes fresh Moroccan pastries for breakfast each morning and hosts on-site cooking classes.
How it began
Milanese photographer Elena Masera restored this traditional courtyard mansion, layering contemporary art and eclectic finds over antique Moroccan plasterwork.
