Riad Lydines is a guesthouse of magical allure, containing seven guestrooms and suites, each one quite different from its fellows. It is located in the heart of Marrakech's historic medina, a stone's throw away from the Saadian Tombs and the Royal Palace, and 5 minutes' walk from the famed Jemaa El Fna square.
This magnificent abode took shape through the joint creative skills of a team made up of both European designers and Moroccan craftsmen, "Mâallems", who put their all into bringing this luxurious haven of peace into being, while taking care to preserve its traditional 'bildi' style (tadellakt, zellij, carved cedar wood , etc.)
The owners have named this unique guesthouse, restored entirely by hand, Riad Lydines (House of the Hands) in honour of all the craftsman of Morocco whose age-old skills have made their land a truly magical Kingdom. This private world of sensory delight, spellbinding, luxurious, and discreet, offers you the warmest of welcomes along with top-quality, fully personalised service. Unlike other medina guesthouses, Riad Lydines boasts an imposing frontage, which opens on to a square planted with palm trees. Riad Lydines is built around a large, sun-drenched, flower-filled patio adorned with a magnificent pond. In the midst of the patio, alongside the swimming-pool, an area shaded from the heat has been fitted out for the gentle art of relaxing. |
