"A beautiful antiquated riad with traditional mosaic floors, a chic courtyard and friendly owners, all overlooking the Atlas Mountains."
When Riad Kaiss opened a decade ago, it was one of the most stunning luxury riads in Marrakech. Renowned French architect and interior designer Christian Ferre (now sadly deceased) spent three years restoring its palatial 19th-century spaces and adding his eclectic collection of antiques from Morocco, Africa and Asia plus some stunning pieces of art deco furniture. The result is a luxury riad that is grand but still cosy.
The facilities
The elegant courtyard is a mass of manicured foliage that hides fountains and small salons with open fires that are perfect for romantic dining a deux. Downstairs there's a small gym (a rarity in a Marrakech riad) and a hammam and up a labyrinth of staircases, a warren of decadent private roof terraces leads to a small, walled plunge pool.
The rooms
The eight bedrooms are the most alluring aspect of Riad Kaiss as the detailing is exquisite and there are beautiful paintings and objets at every turn. Rooms 1 and 2 have layouts that best suit families, and 7 and 8 are preferable during the winter months as they have open fires. But the most spectacular in the luxury riad is room 3 with its red hues, original Moroccan detailing and mouche arabies (elaborate wooden screened windows) overlooking the courtyard below.
"Beautiful and intimate Arabian Nights-style riad tucked away in a corner of the medina. Eight lanterns hang in welcome at the entrance to the eight bedrooms - of which the most dramatic is a wonderful roof-top suite with its private terrace." The Telegraph 08
Honeymooners love the intimacy here.
Families are welcome to stay at the hotel. Baby cots are provided, and the hotel also offers interconnecting rooms for larger families.
The in-house chef serves traditional Moroccan dishes only for lunch and dinner.
