Riad Hikaya is a wonderful boutique guesthouse in the medina of Marrakech. It has 8 bedrooms and a heated pool.
There is a staircase for each courtyard which connects the two levels and then goes up to the roof terrace where there is an open air dining area and two covered "caidal tents" for relaxing with a drink or curling up with a book. Also on the roof is a traditional hammam for relaxing scrubs and a treatment room for massages.
As with all our riads, breakfast is included and there is an on demand dinner service (needs to be confirmed in advance each day). The owners will also arrange cooking demonstrations, guides and trips around Marrakech.
All the bedrooms are individually styled and have double beds (many of which can be split into twins) and each room has a beautiful bathroom with shower. Some also have stunning baths in Tadelakt (polished plaster) or beaten copper. Each room comes with a bathrobe to use during the stay and "babouche" slippers.
The location is in the southern "Kasbah" part of the medina which has its own village atmosphere and you are around 15 minutes walk from the main square. Many of the famous restaurants and historic sights are closer still. It also has the advantage that our drivers can get almost to the front door so saving the problem of carting luggage through the alleyways.
"Hikaya" means story in Arabic and staying here will make you feel like you are a character from a romantic novel - and you should return home with plenty of tales to tell
