Description
The Riad Azoulay is located in the heart of the Medina of Marrakech, in the middle of the souk of Mellah, the old Jewish quarter. Hidden among fragrant spice stalls, small shops and bustling activity, a true treasure of hospitality awaits in the narrow alleys. Behind an inconspicuous door, a lovingly designed riad in Marrakech opens up with an atmospheric courtyard, in the middle of which a small pool splashes quietly.
We succumbed to the magic of 1001 Nights and took a look at the boutique hotel Riad Azuley in Marrakech.
A riad gem in the heart of Marrakesh
With only nine individually designed rooms, the Riad Azoulay is a wonderful place of peace and relaxation, ideal as a retreat after an eventful day in the bustling alleys of Marrakesh. In this authentic riad in Marrakech, you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and end the day with an excellent dinner in a romantic setting.
Arriving in the medina: experience Marrakech with all your senses
Even the journey to Riad Azoulay is an experience in itself. You walk through the narrow and bustling alleys of the medina of Marrakech. You pass countless stalls piled high with spices and herbs, their aromatic scents filling the air. Traders loudly hawk their wares, a pack donkey eats by the side of the road, while rattling mopeds come towards you. Voices, colours and sounds merge into the typical, lively flair of Marrakech. And then, behind an almost inconspicuous door, a little paradise from One Thousand and One Nights opens up.
A peaceful oasis with a patio and pool: relaxation at the Riad Azoulay
As soon as you arrive in the pretty patio of the Riad Azoulay, the hustle and bustle of the medina instantly becomes quieter. In the middle, a small pool splashes, lush banana palms stretch towards the sky and numerous seating areas invite you to linger. Here, after an eventful day, you can enjoy a fragrant cup of tea with pastries and the relaxed, almost meditative atmosphere of this special riad in Marrakech.
After a stroll through the lively souks, the Riad Azoulay is literally a tranquil oasis where you can unwind.
Individual rooms in the style of 1001 Nights
Riad Azoulay has only nine rooms, each of which is designed slightly differently. Warm colours, heavy curtains, fine carpets and lovingly decorated furniture exude the magic of 1001 Nights and create pure comfort. We were particularly taken with the Sultan Suite, which has direct access to the patio and thus offers a very special living experience.
Cuisine at Riad Azoulay: traditional Moroccan cuisine
In the morning, a traditional breakfast awaits you at Riad Azoulay in Marrakech, featuring local breads, homemade jams, fresh fruit, yoghurt, freshly squeezed juice and tea or coffee. Egg dishes are also freshly prepared on request.
In the evening, you can enjoy a menu that changes daily, based on the fresh produce available at the market. Traditional Moroccan cuisine is served, sometimes refined with Italian influences. Dinner is served either in the romantically lit courtyard overlooking the pool or in the cosy dining room, the perfect end to an eventful day in Marrakech.
Personal service & experiences around Marrakech
We were particularly impressed by the attentive, unobtrusive service of the friendly staff, who take great pleasure in looking after their guests. After an intensive day of sightseeing, guests can pamper themselves with wellness treatments or sauna session at the riad.
The team is also happy to organise restaurant reservations or excursions, for example to the Atlas Mountains or the Agafay Desert, perfect for getting to know Marrakech and its surroundings even better.
Perfect location in the medina: sights within walking distance
The location of Riad Azoulay is ideal for exploring the historical sights of Marrakech. The Bahia Palace and the El Badi Palace are just a few minutes' walk away, as is the world-famous Djemaa el Fna. Lively during the day with jugglers and juice stands, in the evening the square transforms into a large open-air restaurant with countless market stalls and traditional street food.
