Riad Kalila

Through the heavy wooden doors of Riad Kalila, you enter into a bright spacious garden and courtyard complete with fountain. The inner courtyard is a traditional feature found in many of the finest Arab and North African homes and palaces. In addition to providing absolute privacy, this design lends to the interior an atmosphere so calm and peaceful that it is easy to forget the hustle and bustle of the exciting city outside. Each bedroom is accessible through the central courtyard and has its own living space. Guests looking for an extra area to relax may enjoy one of the two lounges. To make your stay even more enjoyable we provide internet access, television (with cable TV), guides and information about Marrakesh and the rest of Morocco. Our beautiful rooftop terraces provide perfect views of the surrounding medina, the snow-capped summit of Mount Atlas, the "Koutoubia" and Dar El Bacha palace and its gardens. Located in Mouassine in the heart of the old "Medina" and only two minutes away from the famous market place of Jemaa El Fna, Riad Kalila is the ideal starting point for your visit to the historical monuments and places of interest in and around Marrakesh: The Tombs of Saadin, The Bahia Palace, The Koutoubia Minarets, The Ben Yousef Medersa and the Marrakesh Museum. Its central location also makes it perfect for the visitor who simply wants to enjoy wondering through the Medina, its "souks" (markets) and wonderful gardens. Access to each of the bedrooms is through the inner courtyard. Each bedroom presents our guests with a unique example of traditional local designs and techniques, such as "tadelakt", a form of colored limestone and "bejmats", a type of fired earth plasterwork produced and sculpted in Fez. Each bedroom is en suite and includes its own living space, air conditioning and heating. Our Bed and Breakfast offers excellent petits déjeuners (orange juice, Moroccan crepes, honey, jam, fruits of the season, homemade yogurts, tea and coffee) as well as a choice selection of lunches and dinners all prepared by our chef.
