Tucked within the ancient walls of Marrakech’s Bab Doukkala quarter, Riad Kniza is an 18th-century townhouse lovingly restored by owner and antiques expert Haj Mohamed Bouskri. This intimate luxury riad blends authentic Moroccan craftsmanship with discreet modern comfort, just moments from the vibrant souks and landmarks of the Medina. With only eleven rooms and suites, peaceful courtyards, a rooftop terrace, and a traditional hammam, the riad captures the refinement and warmth of true Marrakchi hospitality. It is an elegant retreat for those seeking a cultured, design-led stay at the heart of the Red City.
Each of the eleven rooms and suites at Riad Kniza reflects traditional Moroccan artistry, carved cedarwood, intricate zellige and hand-polished tadelakt. The Royal Suite Bahia is the showpiece, while the Senior Suites feature generous salons and ornate ceilings that celebrate Marrakech’s heritage of fine craftsmanship. Tranquil courtyards, intimate salons with fireplaces and a small pool create a soothing retreat from the medina’s energy. The rooftop terrace reveals sweeping views across the city, ideal for breakfast or dinner beneath the stars. Dine at the Riad Kniza Restaurant, where menus are pre-ordered a day in advance so the chef can select the freshest market produce. Meals unfold in richly decorated salons or on the terrace, accompanied by warm, intuitive service. After a day exploring the souks and gardens, unwind in the spa and hammam, where centuries-old rituals meet modern comfort. Authentic, intimate and quietly elegant, Riad Kniza embodies the timeless grace of Moroccan hospitality.

INSIDER TIP
"Pre-order dinner the day before to allow the chef to shop fresh from the markets, and request a terrace table for dining under the stars."
