The Dutch owners of the luxury Ryad Dyor are designers (interiors and fashion). And it shows. Modern and traditional Moroccan styles are stunningly fused, while furnishings are a mélange of Moroccan and European antiques, complemented by modern textiles and lighting.

The facilities

The panoramic terrace of Ryad Dyor overlooks the Marrakech medina. From the terrace, guests can admire the Koutoubia Mosque, the thousands of rooftops and the hazy Atlas Mountains in the distance.

A delicious breakfast is served daily and includes freshly squeezed juice, fruit with honey and yogurt and fresh pastries. While this can be taken anywhere, lunch and dinner are not available at the Ryad Dyor itself.

The staff are extremely personable, and are always available for any request, with a cup of mint tea in hand. The staff will even personally escort guests through the streets of the medina to a recommended restaurant. They also organise tours through the city, as well as trips to the Atlas Mountains.

The rooms

The five suites and two double rooms at Ryad Dyor are all uniquely decorated and stuffed with quirky design details: copper lanterns, Balinese mirrors, and egg-smooth tadelakt bathtubs. Other traditional elements include plastered bathrooms, latticed windows, fireplaces, babouche slippers and iron lanterns.
