Luxury boutique riad in Marrakesh's Medina, designed by acclaimed New York interior designer Thomas Hays
Amenities & Design
Riad Meriem occupies a tranquil inner courtyard with a pool modeled after a traditional hammam. The five-suite property was designed by acclaimed New York interior designer Thomas Hays, who sourced handcrafted decor from around the world. A candlelit courtyard and a lounge with a fireplace provide spaces for relaxation and dining.
Suites
Each of the five individually decorated suites uses Moroccan style in grey and violet tones. Rooms are named Aubergine, Matisse, Red, Ivory, and Superior Double or Twin, and each includes air conditioning, a safety deposit box, and a private bathroom with a bath or shower. Daily housekeeping and fresh towels are provided.
Dining
A private chef prepares tailored dining experiences for guests, with meals served in the salon, on the terrace, or on the patio. A continental breakfast is offered every morning. The hosts can also prepare lunch and dinner upon request, and a coffee house on site is available.
Location
The riad is a 10-minute walk from Jemaa El Fna Square and a 5-minute walk from the Ben Youssef Medersa. Nearby attractions also include the Musee de Marrakesh. The property sits within the Medina, a short distance from the souks and main landmarks.
Services & Experiences
The hosts can arrange airport transfers, excursions, hammam sessions, massages, and golf or tennis outings. Organized activities include local experiences beyond standard tours. Riad Meriem was named in the T+L Editors' Choice Awards IT LIST 2008 as one of the top 30 new hotels in the world.
