Riads in Marrakesh are traditional Moroccan houses built around a central courtyard, often featuring a plunge pool, hammam, and rooftop terrace. Most are located in the historic Medina, within walking distance of Jemaa el-Fna square and the souks. Prices range from budget-friendly rooms (around €50-80 per night) to luxury suites (€150-300+), with many offering breakfast included. Book early for peak seasons and be prepared for narrow, car-free alleyways; airport transfers are typically arranged by the riad.
