Through the charming street and alleyways of Marrakech's medina is the Ryad Dyor, a beautiful boutique hotel created from the conversion of two traditional Moroccan ryads (interior-facing properties around a central courtyard).
Within the private world of the hotel Ryad Dyor are two courtyards (one with a plunge pool, the other with palm trees and a fountain), 5 suites, 2 rooms, a dining area and several lounges. The European owners have successfully blended traditional Moroccan and modern European styles to create subtle interiors with a peaceful atmosphere.
On the top of the two-storey building is a panoramic roof terrace with views over the old city of Marrakech towards the Atlas Mountains: a wonderful place to enjoy breakfast or a mint tea.
Ryad Dyor is located in the north part of the Medina, at Sidi Ben Sliman, one of the most authentic and traditional areas of the ancient Medina, 20 minutes drive from the airport, 10 minutes drive from the two golf courses, Amelkis and Royal Golf (10km), and 15 minutes walk from Jamaa el Fna Square, the famous square of Marrakech, 5 minutes walking distance to the Souks (market with little shops.
