Hipmarrakech.com - English speaking riads in Morocco

Riad Lydines is a guesthouse of magical allure, containing seven guestrooms and suites, each one quite different from its fellows. It is located in the heart of Marrakech's historic medina, a stones throw away from the Saadian Tombs and the Royal Palace, and 5 minutes walk from the famed Jamaa El Fna square.

This magnificent house took shape through the joint creative skills of a team made up of both European designers and Moroccan craftsmen, who put their all into bringing this luxurious haven of peace into being, while taking care to preserve its traditional 'bildi' style (tadellakt, zellij, carved cedar wood). This unique guesthouse, restored entirely by hand, is called Riad Lydines, meaning House of the Hands in honour of all the craftsman of Morocco whose age-old skills have made their land a truly magical Kingdom.

This private world of sensory delight, spellbinding, luxurious, and discreet, offers you the warmest of welcomes along with top-quality, fully personalised service.

Unlike other medina guesthouses, Riad Lydines boasts an imposing frontage, which gives on to a square planted with palm trees. Riad Lydines is built around a vast, sun-drenched, flower-filled patio adorned with a magnificent pond.

In the midst of the patio, alongside the swimming-pool, an area shaded from the heat has been fitted out for the gentle art of sitting back and relaxing.

Six rooms and one suite on two storeys open on to the patio, all fully equipped, and decorated in the purest oriental tradition, offering you comfort, peace and quiet, and a real change of scene.

A Moroccan "Behou" lounge and a fine library both open on to the patio, finishing touches to the perfection of this wondrous little universe. From the fine and artfully fitted out terrace (with its kaidal tent, VIP lounge and deckchairs), you can admire the magnificence of Moroccan sunsets, with the majesty of the Atlas Mountains on one side, and the splendour of the Koutoubia on the other.
