Riad Kaïss - a luxurious boutique hotel of unique charm

Refined elegance in the heart of historic Marrakech

Once the Harem of the "Favourite" of Morocco's Sultan Moulay Yacoub, Riad Kaïss is one of Marrakech's longest established and most elegant riad hotels. Located just steps from the UNESCO world heritage site Djema el Fna, the pulsing heart of this magical city, Riad Kaiss is supremely well-located for the sites and sounds of Marrakech. On a quiet side street, the hotel offers guests a tranquil setting from which to explore this amazing Moroccan city.

With just 9 rooms and suites, hammam, spa, boutique, swimming pool, a majestic courtyard garden, sun terraces, a range of services including cooking classes, full-service restaurant, private driver, personal shoppers and guides, and with parking nearby, Riad Kaïss is a perfect base to enjoy the best of what Marrakech has to offer.

Originally designed and built by legendary French hotel designer Christian Ferre, the hotel has been featured in design magazines and books all over the world, including the Hip Hotel series. Service, however, never takes a back seat to design. Under new management as of October 2009 by the award-winning team from Dar Les Cigognes and The Sanssouci Collection the hotel continues to provide guests a welcoming introduction to Marrakech.
