Nine En-suite Guest Rooms

Located in the Zaouia quarter of the Medina, north of Marrakech's main square, Riad Edward was formerly the home of the Alaoui family, relatives of Morocco’s ruling family. Today, after a careful and faithful restoration, this beautiful riad retains many of its original features with stunning tile-work, carved cedar ceilings and doors, and various local artefacts and rugs scattered around the rooms. The style of the house differs from some of the more modern renovations, this Riad retains a certain shabby chic style reminiscent of a bygone age.

The large traditional house is built around a central courtyard containing a swimming pool which runs between the courtyards' central arches. Traditional Moroccan doors open onto the courtyard from a large sitting room and dining room and the Green bedroom and bathroom.

This boutique hotel has just en-suite 6 Suites and en-suite 3 Rooms which overlook the courtyard and multilevel terraces. The very spacious Douriya Suite has a living room with optional interconnecting bedroom. All bedrooms have heating and air conditioning and some have a fireplace.

The top floor terraces have magnificent views of the town, the Mosques and in winter the distant snow-capped Atlas Mountains.

Base prices are in Euro: Sterling, USD and Moroccan dirham rates will vary by exchange rate.

From the world famous Souks to the ever-lively Jemaa el Fna square, and from the cultural heritage sites to world class museums, there is so much things to do and things to see in Marrakech.

Here at Hip Marrakech we also offer a variety of excursion and tours in and around Marrakech from day trips to the Atlas Mountains to day trips to the desert. Here are a few examples of the trips and excursions we offer:


Ouzoud waterfalls
For the more adventurous a three hour drive will take you to the mid Atlas and the majestic Ouzoud waterfalls, the highest in North Africa, with three spectacular tiers. This is also the home of the famous Barbary apes, the naturally tail-less monkeys that you find performing in the main square in Marrakech. It is delightful to see them roaming free in their native habitat.

Price: £92 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 10 to 11 hours


The Grand Tour
The Grand Tour circuit packs in as much as it is possible to see in a day from Marrakech. You will first drive up the picturesque Ourika valley passing numerous Berber villages before climbing up the ski station at Oukamdem. Your route then descends into the side Fers Valley, down to Asni and up to Imlil. Finally return to Marrakech via Asni and Tahanoute.

Price: £115 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 10 hours


Essaouira
Previously known by its Portuguese name Mogador, a fortress still commands the entrance to the harbour and the Medina itself has walled ramparts. Essaouira is usually much cooler than Marrakech and can be windy at times, it is no coincidence that the world wind surf championships are held here.

Price: £92 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 10 hours

"The accommodation was beautiful, food great and the service couldn't have been better. The staff looked after us so well, arranging taxi's, guided tours and catered to our every need. It was in a great location and we felt we had done as much as possible in our time there. I would recommend this accommodation as a perfect place to stay for a visit to Marrakech."

Anne, London, UK

"We had a fantastic few days at Riyad Edward, which could not have been a better place to stay. This is a beautiful house which has been sensitively restored in such a way that it retains real character and charm. There is a well kept garden (bougainvillea everywhere) and pool (which was pretty fresh in April but would no doubt be very welcome during the real heat of the summer months), a very comfortable roof terrace and several hidden away spots on other floors round the courtyard where you can relax in almost total privacy.

The staff were all charming and could not have been more helpful. Part of the charm of Riyad Edward is its laid back atmosphere; the stark, fluffy-white-towelness of formal hotels is replaced here with a much cooler, more intimate atmosphere. The owner, Stephen, was entirely unobtrusive but always there to offer help and advice when you asked for it. We thought he ran a very good house here."

"What a wonderful warm home! The staff were great. The room was warm and cozy. The experience was wonderful."

Jennifer, USA

"What an amazing place. Every corner is filled with something beautiful. A place I will never forget. A big thankyou to Beatriz, Ismael, Mouna and the ladies for taking such good care of us"

Hattie & Tina, USA

"Told you I'd come back. My second time here and it's better than I remember. Thank you again for a truly amazing stay, thanks to all the staff especially Ismael and Mouna for looking after my guests and I so well. Will see you again soon."

Chris, UK

"I am happy I have booked at Riad Edward. It is an amazing traditional riad with a beautiful courtyard and a pool in the centre.There are several rooftop terraces, also small and intimate ones – tastefully decorated and absolutely charming. The food is delicious, Moroccan cuisine, reasonably priced. You can have your dinner or breakfast wherever you want.

I have been travelling a lot, but rarely found a place, where the staff was so attentive and always happy to help you with anything you might need. Be it organizing a trip to the atlas mountains or sahara, offering you to meet you in the medina and bring you back to the riad when getting desperately lost, or just having a chat about this and that. Felt as part of the family."

Bettina, Zurich, Switzerland

"The free Hipmarrakech App has proved amazing for our clients. It gives them confidence to navigate the medina knowing they can always find their way back our house, even with NO data roaming switched on. Further it locates many restaurants in Marrakech that our guests like (some of which give discounts to those with the App), and then helps them find their way back to the riad easily. Further, they can also book excursions in or around Marrakech at short notice."

Owner of Hip Marrakech

Situated right in the heart of the Medina of the Old City, this authentic riad is close to all the attractions of this bustling city. Riad Edward is in the Zaouia quarter of Marrakech, just north of the main square, the Djema el Fna. The Mosque of Sidi Bel Abbes is right next door and the souk is easily reached with its warren of alleyways. The Riads is accessible by car.
