About this property
Very Central Marrakech Riad With 2 Pools, One Heated & Very Friendly Staff
Riad Africa comprises of four Marrakech merchant houses fused to create a truly luxurious riad and an authentic and charming hotel in the very heart of Marrakech medina. Just 5 minutes’ walk from Djemaa el Fna, Riad Africa offers a safe location and easy access to taxis, parking, restaurants and shops.
Guests can choose from twenty four en suite rooms - with budget, standard or superior rooms plus adjoining family rooms and suites, triple rooms or quads. Facilities include two tranquil palm-filled courtyards with pools (one of which is heated in winter months), the popular Ashanti restaurant, an informal juice bar serving fresh juices and local non-alcoholic beverages plus a spacious garden/roof terrace. Views of the snow-capped High Atlas mountains can be seen to the south and the famous Koutoubia minaret to the north.
Free hi-speed WiFi access is available throughout the riad. All rooms are decorated in traditional style and adorned with colourful African furnishings and art. All rooms are well-equipped and include satellite TV, an electronic safe, iPod dock and hairdryer. More spacious superior rooms and suites also include bath robes, a fridge, Moroccan slippers, coffee station and mineral water. Suites offer a DVD player, fridge, fresh fruit and a small lounge area.
Riad Africa is British-Dutch owned and managed but is run locally by a passionate, dedicated and friendly local Moroccan team.

About the host
Hosted by Nick Anstead

Born into a family hotel business, I'm originally from East Yorkshire and have spent my life working in the travel and hospitality business - as an adventure tour guide in Africa and Asia, a rental property owner, tour operator and hotelier.
I've been lucky enough to travel all over the world but now choose to spend most of my time in Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains and on the Atlantic Coast of Morocco.
My businesses set their standards high and our team always aim to deliver first-rate customer service, with prompt speed of reply, fair prices and a high quality holiday service, set in some of the world's most breathtaking locations.

Why they chose this property
Riad Africa has one of the best locations in Marrakech medina - an easy stroll to Djemaa el Fna and the heartbeat of the medina, yet only a short and safe walk along a well-lit medina street to a taxi rank and 24 hour parking.
A colourful local market is nearby, along with shops, local attractions and a choice of popular local restaurants. The location for me is just perfect from which to explore Marrakech medina.

What makes this property unique
Riad Africa has one of the largest plunge pools of any riad in the medina, and also a smaller heated plunge pool for a warming dip in winter months. We have a choice of standard, superior rooms or suites, adjoining family rooms and a couple of budget rooms - so something for everyone.
We have equipped our rooms to a high level offering satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, tea/coffee making facilities, a/c, iPod docks, robes, slippers and safes.
What we also offer, and one of the highlights for our guests, is a friendly and helpful staff, most of whom have been with us for over 5 years.
