Award-winning Top 100 riad in Morocco, 1-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa Square

Location & Access

Riad Hotel Marraplace is located in the heart of the Medina, less than a 1-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. The property is accessible via a side alley that keeps the riad quiet at night, but within a 2-minute walk of the square and all major souks. Staff arrange airport transfers and offer a greeter service to guide guests through the narrow streets from the car drop-off point to the front door.

Rooms & Craftsmanship

Each of the 17 rooms features hand-carved plasterwork, Zellij Fassi tilework, and Tadelakt plaster in the bathrooms. Rooms are uniquely decorated with engraved metal lanterns and Berber carpets and textiles. The hotel also has a newly renovated section with better sound-dampening windows.

Breakfast & Dining

A traditional Moroccan breakfast is served daily on the rooftop terrace, with a variety of local breads, pancakes, yogurt, honey, and jams. The breakfast menu changes daily and includes fresh juice and coffee or tea left in a flask to stay hot. For early departures, the staff packs a breakfast to go.

Services & Amenities

The riad has a 24-hour front desk with concierge service staff fluent in Arabic, French, English, and Spanish. Luggage storage is free of charge, and the property offers express check-in/check-out, bicycle rental, and public transport tickets. Security includes CCTV in common areas, 24-hour security, safety deposit boxes, and a locked front door accessible only by bell.

Cultural Immersion & Extras

Riad Hotel Marraplace was awarded Top 100 Riads in Morocco 2022 and offers personalized recommendations for local events and exhibits. The hotel provides board games and puzzles, fruits, and offers community-focused interactions that promote authentic local experiences. A variety of excursions and paid airport shuttle options can be arranged upon reservation.

“This riad stands out for its prime Medina location, a short walk to Jemaa el-Fna yet surprisingly tranquil. I appreciate the blend of traditional Moroccan design with modern comforts, and the rooftop breakfast terrace is a definite highlight. In my opinion, its smaller size fosters a personal touch that larger hotels often miss, enhanced by multilingual staff.”
