Riad Meriem

Riad Meriem is located in the heart of the Medina, in the oldest quarter of Marrakech dating back to the 11th century, 10 minutes away from the main square, the Jemaa el Fna, and 1 minute from the entrance to the souks. The calm and tranquility in the Riad contrasts with the energetic pace of the streets of Marrakech.

Comments:
"We loved the stylish, understated decor of this place, and the fact that you felt like you were staying in a home, more than a hotel. It had the most amazing bathroom with a bath so large you could practically swim in it. i also loved the fact that they would make you breakfast whenever you got up."
