Riad Lydines

( 4 stars , Marrakech , Morocco )

A splendid example of Moorish architecture, the Angsana Riad Lydinnes is set in the centre of Marrakesh's old town. The restoration on this traditional riad has been done entirely by hand, with warm earthy tones, Zelliges and mosaics and traditional Arabic furniture and fabrics. The internal courtyard, which serves as a cooling airy space as well as to shade the inhabitants from the world's prying eyes, has a glittering pool to immerse yourself in on hot days and plants all around, creating an exotic, mysterious and refreshing ambiance. Here you can also recline on one of the plush sofas and soak up the ambiance, read a book, or simply mull over all the experiences you are bound to have in this wonderful location.
