Rooms & Suites

Riad Le Clos des Arts offers 9 rooms, including a spacious suite inspired by an Arab princess from the 1948 film 'Les Noces de Sable.' All rooms feature private bathrooms with showers, individual heating and cooling systems, safes, Egyptian cotton percale bed linens, bathrobes, and natural cosmetic products. Some rooms include hand-woven fabrics, solid wooden furniture, and balconies with inner courtyard views. The rooftop plunge pool is accessible to guests.

Dining & Breakfast

The riad serves a traditional Moroccan breakfast with homemade bread, pastries, yogurt, jams, fresh fruit, juices, and eggs made to order. Dinner includes a three-course 'Menu du Jour' with seasonal local ingredients, featuring tajines, couscous, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Meals can be enjoyed in the dining room, inner patios, or on the rooftop terrace under candlelight. Dietary restrictions like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free options are accommodated upon request.

Wellness & Relaxation

Guests can unwind in the solar-powered hammam, book a Moroccan massage with aromatic oils, or relax by the rooftop plunge pool with sun loungers. Yoga classes and private spa treatments are available by reservation. The riad also offers cooking workshops to explore Moroccan spices and traditional dishes.

Location & Nearby

The riad is in the quiet Riad Zitoune Jdid neighborhood, a 5-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Dar Si Said Museum and Bahia Palace are steps away. Excursions to the Atlas Mountains, Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, Essaouira, and Ouzoud Waterfalls can be arranged.

Services & Amenities

Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Airport transfers, guided tours, and private dinners with live music can be organized. The riad enforces strict hygiene protocols, including disinfection of rooms and common areas. Staff are trained in safety measures, and hand sanitizer stations are provided.

“The property strikes me as a particularly well-considered choice for couples seeking both immersion in the Medina and a quiet escape. Its location balances proximity to attractions with a more serene setting, while personalized service, a solar-powered hammam, and bespoke rooms suggest a dedication to guest wellbeing and cultural authenticity, which in my opinion makes it a standout option.”

average stay with some issues

insufficient storage single towel hook
the location was acceptable, making it relatively easy to access key attractions.
the lack of adequate storage in the beautiful room was quite inconvenient. there was no proper rail and hangers for clothes in the wardrobe, so i ended up draping clothes over the furniture. the single towel hook in the bathroom was insufficient for both robes and damp towels, and this caused them to not dry correctly.
