“This riad understands the assignment: delivering a haven moments from the Medina. The building itself impresses with its airy design and sun-drenched rooftop pool. I particularly appreciate that the decor embraces, rather than mimics, traditional Moroccan style; the effect is both elegant and authentic.”
