5 Rooms
Traditional Elegance & Quiet
It’s hard to stand out in a city with more than a thousand riads, or traditional Moroccan houses, a great many of which have been transformed into hotels or guesthouses. But Dar Assiya is one of the finest in Marrakech, hidden away on a quiet street in the old medina. Intimately sized, with just five rooms, it’s sophisticated and sultry, a jewel of a boutique hotel that’s worth planning an itinerary around.

Heavy wooden doors open onto a gorgeous 15th-century courtyard with an ultramarine-tiled reflecting pool and elegant palm trees; like the rest of the building, it’s rich with decorative details, from towering marble pillars and Moorish archways to glowing brass lanterns and glazed zellige tilework. As is standard in riad hotels, the guest rooms and suites are located directly off the central patio; a few are on the ground level, and others are upstairs with balconies overlooking the courtyard. Each is unique and ornately furnished, featuring the house’s original wood-beamed ceilings, huge ornamental mirrors, and traditional artwork that looks like it belongs in a museum. In-room luxuries are plentiful, from Bose speakers and Italian linens to cool stone-lined bathrooms with fragrant candles and fresh flower arrangements.

Lavish Moroccan-style breakfasts and afternoon mint tea are served poolside in the courtyard, and on the upper level, a rooftop terrace offers breezy lounge space and colorful sunset views. Relax on a daybed or sip aperitifs under the shade of a white-canopied dining area — Dar Assiya’s rooftop kitchen staff whip up delicious small plates and cocktails on request.

Stayed here at the end of Morocco trip. Incredibly elegant place and the owner upgraded us to larger room which we really appreciated. Very elegant, clean, great location, professional and attentive staff, laundry service, varied breakfast from day to day. Smells wonderful and very clean. Location is fantastic.

This was a great stay - very central, the staff is very accommodating and the hotel is a nice quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Medina, even if it is smack in the centre ! The beds are comfortable and the breakfast (traditional Moroccan breakfast) is delicious. Upon entering this hotel, you’re really transported into another world - it is truly magnificent.
