Demeures d'Orient Riad & Spa

Exceptional service, spacious rooms with luxurious decor, and tranquil location near attractions. Delicious breakfast and diverse options. Large pool, rooftop terrace, and spa with skilled therapists.

My wife and I stayed at the Demeures d’Orient Riad and Spa during our city break to Marrakech in March 2025. We were delighted to find such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay amid the bustle and noise of the city. This wonderful riad, run by three generations of the same family provides just 11 beautifully furnished and traditionally styled rooms on two levels around the central courtyard. The courtyard contains the heated swimming pool, and is also the location for breakfast and other meals to be served. A peaceful and pretty roof terrace is a fine place to relax with views across the city and towards the Atlas Mountains. The owners and staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming, and will help with any requests or enquiries about the city or excursions. Unfortunately I was unwell for a day or so during our stay (definitely not the fault of the riad, but caused by flying with an ear problem which affected my balance!), and the owners and staff were very concerned about my wellbeing. I was surprised to learn that they had been asking my wife regularly how I was, and when I felt better I was asked how I was feeling by everyone. Being a small establishment makes service much more personal, but I was genuinely touched by the concern for my health. It really did show that guests are valued and looked after by everyone at the riad. My wife made use of the spa facilities whilst we were there, and had a fabulous relaxing experience, which she recommends very highly! We dined at the riad, and the food was excellent. My personal favourite was breakfast, but that’s just because I love starting the day with coffee and a beautifully presented breakfast made with fresh ingredients. We can also recommend dinner, which was served in the candlelit courtyard, made from lovely fresh ingredients and offering a choice of tasty Moroccan flavours. We really enjoyed our stay at Demeures d’Orient, and intend to stay there again. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of staying at Demeures d’Orient Riad Deluxe & Spa, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The riad itself is a masterpiece — the decoration is absolutely superb, a reflection of the refined taste and vision of the owner, Sophie. Every corner is thoughtfully curated, blending traditional Moroccan elegance with a unique, personal touch. What made the stay even more memorable was the impeccable service led by Sophie’s daughter, Zoé, who manages the hotel with warmth, professionalism, and attention to every detail. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for. Zoé went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout the stay. This riad is not just a place to stay — it’s an experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authenticity, beauty, and five-star hospitality in the heart of Marrakech. A true gem!
