7-room traditional riad at the edge of Marrakesh's Medina

Amenities

Riad Alaka offers two swimming pools, an outdoor pool and an indoor pool, both open all year. The on-site spa provides comprehensive services including a traditional hammam, body scrubs, and a full range of massages from foot to head. Guests have access to a solarium, a spa lounge, and sun loungers with umbrellas on the terrace.

Rooms

The 7 rooms and suites are decorated in a traditional Moroccan style with individual heating and air conditioning. Each private bathroom includes designer toiletries, a bathrobe, and a hairdryer. Rooms offer unique decor reflecting Moroccan culture, with tea and coffee making facilities available in every unit.

Dining

A traditional Moroccan breakfast is served every morning, featuring pancakes, bread, pastries, and a small omelette. Guests can share meals in the dining room with other guests and enjoy freshly prepared Moroccan cuisine for lunch and dinner. The bar and lounge serve drinks and snacks, with special diet menus and packed lunches available on request.

Family-Friendly

Complimentary child care services and strollers are available for families traveling with children. The hotel offers board games, puzzles, and a kids' menu for younger guests. Families can also book themed dinner nights and enjoy the indoor or outdoor pool throughout the year.

Location & Services

The riad is set within a less touristy part of the Medina, a 15-minute walk from Jamaâ El Fna and close to Majorelle Gardens and Le Jardin Secret. Marrakech Menara Airport is 7 km away, with airport pick-up and drop-off services available through the hotel. A shuttle service operates within the city, and the 24-hour front desk provides concierge, currency exchange, and private check-in/check-out.

“This riad, tucked away in a less-touristed area of the Medina, offers a genuine taste of Marrakesh, from its decor to its dining. I appreciate the blend of cultural immersion and wellness; on-site cooking classes complement spa services like traditional hammam treatments.
