Traditional Elegance & Quiet

Just to the north of the souk in the Sidi Ben Slimane district is Riad 144, and you’ll have the quintessential “am I lost?” Marrakech medina experience as you wind your way down a rabbit’s warren of alleys on your way to the house’s heavy front door. But once you’re through, you’ll find you’re in for something a bit more dramatic than the ordinary riad hotel. Not that the ordinary riad hotel is a hard time, by any means — but Riad 144 turns the intensity up to 11 and throws away the knob.

All the better to maximize the contrast between a difficult, often overwhelming city and the oasis of calm that every riad aspires to be. Here four suites, two “mini-suites,” and two bedrooms — some of which can be combined, for more advanced permutations — come decorated in distinct individual styles, some dark and moody, others bright and sunny. And while it’s notable for its intensity, it is, underneath it all, absolutely traditional, down to the tadelakt and moucharabieh. As is the hospitality — here you’ll engage in time-honored riad pursuits like lounging in the courtyard, watching the sunset from the rooftop, decompressing in the hammam, and enjoying housemade traditional Moroccan cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
