An Inspectors’ Guide to the Best Riads in Marrakech

Riad Dar Al Dall - This Time Tomorrow

What it’s all about: A bright, newly opened space with one of the city’s best rooftops nestled in the heart of the medina’s twisting alleys.

Opened in 2024, Riad Dar Al Dall sits in the Kaat Ben Nahid district, among the oldest areas of the medina, hidden within a maze of winding alleys that lead quickly to the heart of the souk. A resident curator on-site remains available to help travelers navigate the city, while the hotel itself is a bright, welcoming introduction to Marrakech.

 

Five rooms, known as residences, feature pops of color and classic Moroccan touches, and one sports its own private balcony. The central pool and the private hammam area are highlights — as is the open kitchen available for guests to cook for themselves.

Inspector’s Tip: For a dive into Marrakech art through the ages, pair a visit to nearby Medersa Ben Youssef, a former Islamic school with exquisite tilework, with the Maison de la Photographie and its captivating collection from 1870–1960. But it’s the hotel’s rooftop terrace that truly shines, with panoramic views that stretch over the medina to the Atlas Mountains.
