Marrakech is our passion. We offer four Riad hotels in the old town medina, each with its own distinctive personality.
What really makes us special, and fantastic value for money, is our small team of dedicated staff who will be on hand to help, reassure and advise you throughout your stay. These charming boutique hotels each have thirteen or fewer guest rooms so you can expect a truly personal service.

Marrakech or Marrakesh? Riad, Ryad, Riyad , Riyadh, or Dar?
Written in Arabic مراكش, foreigners use the French Marrakech and English Marrakesh interchangeably. Riad (sometimes written Ryad, Riyad or Riyadh) literally means garden, and describes traditional and wonderfully atmospheric Medina houses that open inward to a garden courtyard. Our Riad courtyards are cool and calm in the heart of the energetic Red City. Dar simply means house or home in Arabic, but don’t be fooled, the magnificent Dar Habiba is anything but humble!
English speaking Riads.
Marrakech Riad is owned by English couple Lucie and Mike Wood. Riad Papillon, Riad Cinnamon, Riad Star and Dar Habiba have been meticulously restored, working with traditional materials and craftsmen while incorporating conveniences like iPod docking stations and WiFi. The dedicated Moroccan staff at our Riads in Marrakech speak fluent English as well as French and Arabic. We hope to be able to welcome you to one of our wonderful Riads soon.
