Minimalist medina riad
Minimalist medina riad
Three joined townhouses trade typical medina ornament for pared-back minimalism, arranged around fruit-tree courtyards and open roof terraces.
“Just an old iron door separates the home from the craziness of the medina, but you feel like you are in a different world once you step inside.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This boutique riad consists of two interconnected houses, creating a surprisingly spacious retreat despite having just ten rooms.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Residential Sidi Ben Slimane sits in the northern medina, where quiet, car-free alleyways wind past the neighborhood mosque.
The rooms
Smooth tadelakt plaster lines the bedrooms, and several suites open straight onto courtyards with tiled fountains.
The plunge pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A tiled plunge pool sits in the central courtyard among citrus trees, with a second shallow pool on the roof.
The spa
Heated marble benches warm the private steam hammam, set beside a relaxation hot tub and two treatment rooms.
Rooftop Restaurant
Tables on the roof look across the medina toward the Atlas Mountains, where the riad chef cooks market-fresh tagines.
At the table
Lantern-lit dining nooks open off the courtyards, where staff pour fresh mint tea throughout the day.
How it began
The name means houses in Moroccan Arabic, marking how three separate townhouses were gradually joined into one home.
