Le Riad Monceau

Le Riad Monceau is located in the medina of Marrakech, Morocco, within 50 metres of the Jeema-El-Fna and the souk, and one kilometre from Gueliz. Marrakech Menara Airport is eight kilometres from the hotel.

A Moorish-Andalusian style property, Riad Monceau is centred traditionally around an open-air patio. It is located in a quiet side street off the lively maze of the medina and the famous square Jemaa El Fna.

The artist and owner Isabelle Aubry has decorated the riad in tapestry of her own design. The hotel offers room service, a concierge desk, and nearby parking for those arriving by car.

Le Riad Monceau features a restaurant where Moroccan dishes are served, either in the Moroccan-style restaurant room, on the patio by the pool, or on the roof terrace overlooking the snow-capped High Atlas Mountain. An extensive list of Moroccan wines and other alcoholic drinks is available.

Local musicians perform occasionally, and a complimentary Moroccan and continental breakfast is available in the mornings. Guests can participate in cooking workshops led by the cooks of the riad. Le Riad Monceau features a swimming pool with traditional Moroccan mosaics and a marble patio.

The beauty centre features a traditional hammam (Moorish bath), two treatment rooms and a range of treatments including body wraps, massages, facials, manicures and pedicures. In-room massages are also available. There is also discounted access to local hammams and spas, and a nearby fitness centre. The nearest golf course is five kilometres from the hotel.

The seven guestrooms, arranged on two floors around the patio, are decorated in natural warm red and gold colours and furnished luxuriously, blending traditional architecture and design with modern comfort. The bathrooms have bath/tub combinations, and all guestrooms are equipped with satellite television, direct-dial telephones, and wireless Internet access. Further amenities include safes and minibars.
