Riad Hidden Hotel

Overview

One hundred metres. Few places to stay in Marrakech are closer to Jamaâ El Fna than Riad Hidden Hotel, known on its old site simply as Riad Hidden. The name suits a Medina house, though: from the outside these homes give little away, and the life of the building happens round the courtyard inside.

Here that courtyard is described as calm, and the house shows off traditional Moroccan architecture and detailed craftwork. From the roof there are views over the old city.

Highlights

• Around 100 metres from Jamaâ El Fna, according to the property
• Quiet interior courtyard
• Traditional architecture and detailed craftsmanship
• Views over the Medina from the roof
• Restaurants and heritage sites close by

Location

With the square a minute or two away, you're within easy walking distance of everything central: the food stalls and performers that gather each evening, the souks to the north, the Koutoubia to the west and the restaurants on the square's rooftops. Taxis drop off at the edge of the square.

No street address is listed, so confirm directions with the riad; the lanes off the square can be confusing at first.

Good to know

• The square stays lively until late, so expect some background noise in the evening.
