Riad Melhoun & Spa, Morocco

• Flavours of Morocco: If you’re after authentic Moroccan cuisine then look no further than Riad Melhoun’s very own restaurant. Take a seat on the terrace or patio and treat yourself to a delicious lunch or dinner, where fabulous flavours will burst through in local dishes like couscous royale, mechoui and tajine, all crafted with the freshest ingredients. The hotel also serves up a hearty breakfast so you can fuel up before heading out to explore.

• Riad relaxation: The peaceful central patio of the hotel is the perfect spot to spend a few quiet hours; relax in a comfy armchair or dip your toes in the sparkling, blue-tiled pool. For a truly rejuvenating experience, head to the hotel’s hammam and let all your worries melt away amidst the fragrant steam, or indulge in a soothing argan oil or hot stone massage. Then you can retire to your opulent room, where rich colours, bold Moroccan patterns and traditional design elements combine to create the sumptuous setting for a superb night’s sleep.  
  

• Historic heart of the city: The hotel is located in the lively Medina of Marrakesh, a maze of cobblestone streets lined with souks and hammams and dotted with impressive monuments from the 11th and 12th centuries. You’re just a five-minute walk from gorgeous Bahia Palace, 20 minutes from the soaring minaret of Koutoubia Mosque and 10 minutes from Jemaa el-Fnaa, the main market square that comes alive at night with snake charmers, folk dancers, and street food vendors.
