Rooms with Traditional Touches
Riad Achwaq offers air-conditioned rooms with tile or marble floors, executive lounge access, and free WiFi. Each villa includes 4 living rooms, 4 separate bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms with walk-in showers. Guests can cook in the fully equipped kitchen stocked with kitchenware, a microwave, and an electric kettle. Private terraces and patios provide space to relax.
Central Medina Location
Situated in Marrakesh's Medina district, Riad Achwaq is a short walk from Mouassine Museum (0.5 km) and the Koutoubia Mosque (1.5 km). Nearby landmarks include the Yves Saint Laurent Museum (2 km), Jemaa el-Fnaa (1 km), and Bahia Palace (2.5 km). The area brims with traditional markets and street vendors selling local crafts.
Accessibility from Airport
Marrakech-Menara Airport is 5 km away. The Medina's narrow streets mean taxis drop guests nearby, followed by a short walk to the riad.
Nearby Cultural Sites
Within a 2 km radius, guests can visit the Saadian Tombs, Badi Palace, and Le Jardin Secret. The Orientalist Museum and Musée de la Photographie showcase regional art and history.
Traditional Moroccan Setting
Like many Medina properties, Riad Achwaq features traditional architecture-arched doorways, central courtyards, and handcrafted tilework. The neighborhood preserves historic riads and houses unchanged for generations.
“From what I gathered, this renovated traditional house maintains its original Moroccan charm while incorporating modern comforts, including a garden, terrace, and spacious dining area. While it's a short walk from the gate as cars can't approach, the manager ensures a smooth arrival. Its location within the Medina places it near main attractions, making it a suitable home base to experience local culture.”
