Riad Africa – A Favorite for Families in Marrakesh
About the Hotel
Rooms & Suites
Riad Africa offers a range of accommodations, including Safari Rooms, River Rooms, and Junior Suites. Safari Rooms overlook a courtyard with a dipping pool (heated in winter) and feature rain showers, air conditioning, and 'Le Sens de Marrakech' toiletries. River Rooms are more spacious, with flat-screen TVs, fridges, and views of the central pool. Junior Suites include Moroccan salon sitting areas, marble floors, and unique tadelakt bathrooms with zilege tiles from Fez. Cosy Budget Rooms provide affordable single-bed options with en-suite bathrooms.
Dining & Cuisine
Bistro Africa, the rooftop restaurant, serves Moroccan dishes like tagines and pastilla. The Table d'Hôte menu uses fresh local ingredients, while an à la carte menu includes international options for children. Cooking classes at the Marrakech Cooking School teach preparation of Moroccan dishes such as briouat and couscous. Private dining is available on the terrace for groups up to 60, with live music on request.
Leisure & Activities
Guests can relax in the 16 sqm central courtyard pool or the smaller heated winter pool. The Arabia Spa offers a traditional hammam and treatments. The roof terrace features caidal tents, mountain views, and space for breakfast or evening meals. Activities include henna art sessions, guided medina tours, and day trips to the Atlas Mountains or Agafay Desert.
Location & Access
Riad Africa is in Marrakech's Medina, a 5-minute walk from Djemaa el Fna. Nearby landmarks include the Koutoubia Mosque (0.5 km), Museum of Marrakech (1 km), and Jardin Majorelle (2.5 km). The nearest airport, Marrakech Menara, is a 15-minute drive (6 km). Taxis and parking are easily accessible from the riad.
