Dar Assiya
Sophisticated, sultry Moroccan riad — intimate and calm, never loud or showy. The vibe is more private home than hotel.
Book an airport transfer through the riad — they coordinate a porter to wheel your bags through the medina, which saves a lot of stress on arrival.
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide–listed and a Tablet Hotels member property. One of only a handful of Marrakech riads that balances genuinely beautiful design with service that doesn't feel performative. The food — prepared by in-house cooks Samira and Bouchra — is consistently called one of the best meals guests have on their entire Morocco trip.
A 15th-century noble residence turned six-room riad, Dar Assiya sits behind a massive wooden door in a quiet Medina alley and opens onto a courtyard with an ultramarine-tiled plunge pool and slender palms. The whole place reads like a love letter to Moroccan craft: marble pillars, Moorish archways, zellige tilework, hand-painted ceilings, and brass lanterns at every turn. Run by French hotelier Laurent Bernard with a tight, attentive team, it punches well above its size.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Africa Double Room
The second ground-floor room alongside Dades, opening directly onto the courtyard. Smaller and less private than the upper rooms but elegantly finished with Moroccan craft details, African-inspired artwork, and lanterns. The courtyard-level position means morning light arrives early.
1 double bed
Bauhi Double Room
Largest of the three standard rooms, with its own private balcony. Can be configured as twins or a double. Refined traditional style with the house's original wood-beamed ceilings and oversized decorative mirrors.
2 single beds or 1 double · 30 sqm
Dades Double Room
Ground-floor room with direct access to the courtyard. At 28 m² it is on the compact side, but the double bed with fine Italian cotton sheets and a rainfall shower make it comfortable. Traditionally decorated with handcrafted Moroccan details.
1 double bed (180×200 cm) · 28 sqm
Dueria Luxury Suite
Coffee-toned suite with Aztec-style patterns and a spectacular hand-painted ceiling. Sleeps up to 3. The rich palette and layered textiles make this the most visually dramatic of the rooms.
1 King bed · 33 sqm
Touareg Superior Suite
The largest room and the one best suited to small families or groups. Features a King bed, three single beds, a private balcony overlooking the courtyard, and a living area that doubles as a second bedroom. Sleeps up to 5 in total.
