Riad Sidi Ayoub – A Favorite for Families in Marrakesh

The hotel offers a plunge pool and an indoor swimming pool for year-round swimming. Guests can use the hot tub and sauna, or book a hammam session and full-body massage at the on-site spa. A complimentary daily reception encourages social interaction among guests, and the rooftop terrace provides panoramic views of the city and Atlas Mountains.

Each air-conditioned room is individually decorated in a traditional Moroccan style, with some rooms featuring a fireplace. The rooms open onto the riad's central courtyard, which has an ornamental fountain and orange and lemon trees. The property also offers family rooms and allergy-free rooms upon request.

The riad sits in the heart of Marrakech's Medina, 50 metres from Sidi Ayoub Square and a 10-minute walk from Jamaâ El Fna Square. The historic Médersa Ben-Youssef and Majorelle Gardens are within walking distance, while the lively souks and Bahia Palace are nearby. Despite the central location, the hotel maintains a quiet ambiance thanks to its thick courtyard walls.

The spa menu includes body scrubs, body wraps, facials, and a variety of massage treatments (back, foot, head, neck, and couples massage). Guests can also access the hammam, solarium, and hot tub for relaxation. Beauty services such as manicures, pedicures, and waxing are available on site.

Breakfast is served each morning on the courtyard terrace or in guest rooms, with fresh bread, jam, coffee, tea, orange juice, and omelettes. Traditional Moroccan meals and mint tea are served in the dining room or on the patio. The hotel also has a bar and a coffee house on site, and can arrange special diet menus and packed lunches.

The hotel offers babysitting and child services, along with family rooms that accommodate larger groups. Kids can enjoy the indoor swimming pool and the garden with outdoor furniture and a picnic area. Themed dinner nights and cooking classes are available for families to join together.
