Riad Kniza

Tucked away in Marrakesh’s ancient medina, this 18th-century riad comprises 11 expansive residences oriented around several open-air courtyards. The calming, colorful quarters seamlessly blend the old and the new, with ornate tiles, intricate woodwork—and satellite TV and air-conditioning. When you’re ready to adventure across Marrakesh, a considerate, English-speaking staffer will help arrange your daily schedule, whether it’s hiking the Atlas Mountains or haggling in the nearby souks. Upon your return, refuel with Riad Kniza’s decadent lamb tagine, or head to the spa for a dip in the heated pool or a rejuvenating body scrub in the hammam.
