The Art of Living
Days shaped by the rhythm of the Médina
A stay at Riad Hantata is measured not in nights but in moments — mint tea poured at arrival, the call to prayer drifting over the rooftop, the scent of a tagine rising from the kitchen. Our team arranges each experience privately, for our guests alone.
01 · The Rooftop
Evenings facing the Koutoubia
Our 150 m² rooftop terrace looks out over the rooftops of the Médina to the Koutoubia minaret. Come up for breakfast in the morning light, an afternoon in the heated jacuzzi under the parasol, or a mint tea at sunset as the swifts circle and the city turns gold.
02 · The Courtyard
A plunge pool at the heart of the house
The central courtyard holds a small zellige-lined plunge pool surrounded by sculpted plaster arches. Cool water — the pool is unheated — filtered light, and the quiet that only a riad's thick walls can offer.
03 · The Table
Breakfast included, dinner on request
Breakfast is included, served from 8:00 to 10:30 on the rooftop or in the patio. In the evening, on request the day before, we prepare a Moroccan dinner for our guests — tagines, pastilla, salads — served in the patio or on the terrace. The house has no restaurant: dinners are for guests staying with us only.
04 · Wellness
The hammam ritual, a few minutes away
There is no hammam in the house: we book your ritual at a partner hammam a few minutes' walk from the riad — black soap, kessa glove, argan oil, and an hour that dissolves the journey from your shoulders. In-room massage available on request. Reserved on request.
05 · The Médina
Marrakech at your doorstep
100 m from our door, Jemaa el-Fna wakes with orange-juice sellers and sleeps with storytellers. Our team arranges guided souk walks, artisan studio visits, and day trips to the Atlas foothills or the Agafay desert.
All experiences are arranged privately by our team. Speak to us before or during your stay.
