Dar Zelda, Marrakech, Morocco

The Ryad Dar Zelda is a 19th-century grand merchants' house. The decor is resolutely pure, the architecture and design minimalist and zen.

Small pool (heated in the autumn and winter), incredible terraces overlooking the Medina (historic city centre) and the Atlas Mountain range.

Dar Zelda has an amazing staff: friendly, always there for your every need and desire.

We are fortunate to have an excellent cook at the riad. Whether lunching or dining on the terrace, or around the fireplace in the dining room, Amal's cuisine will win you over

4 large double bedrooms (queen and king-size beds), 3 junior suites (king-size beds), and a grand historical suite await you. Every junior suite (35 square metres) has a private sitting room, large bedroom with king-size bed, large full bath. The grand suite La Douiria (70 square metres) has 2 large double bedrooms, a stunning salon with 19th-century frescoes and cupolas, a monumental bathroom/dressing room.

By plane, we strongly suggest you give us your arrival time and flight number. We will send our chauffeur to collect you for door-to-door service in a luxury 4X4 (15 euros: same price as a large taxi)

By car: enter the Medina by the gate BAB KECHICH, then continue 200 metres, turn left, go STRAIGHT for abour 700 metres, then dead end into la PLACE MOKEF, parking (secured at night). Dar Zelda is 200 metres from here.
