Riad Meriem
"The culmination of a love affair with Marrakech - design led opulence true to the Morrocan aesthetic..."
Riad Meriem
Five En-suite Guest Rooms
Riad Meriem is ideally located in the heart of the Medina, just 5 minutes away from the world famous Jemaa el Fna and the entrance to the mystical souks. Despite this central location, the calm and tranquillity of Riad Meriem is set in stark contrast to the frenetic pace of the streets of Marrakech.
This authentic traditional Riad is cantered around a patio illuminated by a thousand lights at nightfall. Its small oriental swimming pool will delight you with its refreshing feel and the gentleness of its curves.
Each of the riad’s 5 suites and rooms offer unique decorations entirely crafted by Marrakechi artisans. The traditional décor is continued throughout, across the riads several lounges. One such lounge is the bhou, where you will enjoy evening drinks by candlelight with a romantic view of the pool surrounded by bougainvilleas and palm trees. Alternatively, you can repose a la Moroccan while in the tent lounge on the terrace. For the colder months you can enjoy an aperitif in the chimney lounge by an open fire.
Riad Meriem’s terrace offers stunning view of the Koutoubia and the Atlas mountains. This spacious terrace provides the perfect space to sunbathe and lounge surrounded by bougainvilleas, fig and olive trees, and hibiscus. Here, you can also enjoy wonderful breakfasts as the sun rises over the Atlas Mountains, midday lunches, and the Moroccan dinning experience by candlelight in the Bedouin tent in the evening.
Thanks to Riad Meriem’s skilled chef, the riad offers a huge menu, with dishes taken from across the world. Meals can be taken in the dining areas on the patio with a view of the oriental pool, in the Salon and Chimney Lounge by a crackling fire, or you can also consider taking a meal al fresco on the terrace.
Riad Meriem is also available to rent exclusively, offering up to 10 guests full use of the whole house.

Riad Meriem
"Amazing place, beautiful rooms, lovely food, the kind of staff and customer service you can only dream of. Caring great guys, made our stay that little bit more special. Red room is amazing, definitely worth it. Can't say anything bad about this gorgeous place in the heart of Marrakech. Faultless from start to finish."
Stuart, London, UK
"The food was just wonderful and the staff made us feel very much at home, this was welcome after feeling quite out of our depth at times with the buzz and activity of the Souks! Love Love Loved it!"
A Guest, London, UK
"This was my 5th visit to Marrakech and without a doubt the best place I have stayed at to date. Riad Meriem is a living fairytale, beautifully furnished and well maintained throughout. The staff went out of their way every day to make sure I was well looked after and made my stay a real pleasure from start to finish."
A Guest
"This RIAD gets 5 stars from me. Beautiful interior with the attention to detail that only an interior designer does Thomas Hays. But what makes this stand apart from the crowd are the people. Cyrus and his wonderful team where nothing is too much trouble. From organising a birthday meal on the roof top of the RIAD to tips on where to eat the best street food for a traditional experience. Question: should you book it? You'd be foolish not to."
Jo, UK
"The free Hipmarrakech App has proved amazing for our clients. It gives them confidence to navigate the medina knowing they can always find their way back our house, even with NO data roaming switched on. Further it locates many restaurants in Marrakech that our guests like (some of which give discounts to those with the App), and then helps them find their way back to the riad easily. Further, they can also book excursions in or around Marrakech at short notice."
