Adding to
their places in Fez and Sidi Ifni, the Bee brothers have now converted this large, six-room
riad near Dar el-Bacha. Opting to keep the original fabric of the building, each room
wears a warm patina of age and some unique decorative touches in stucco and antique tile.
Other standout features are an airport pick-up, ample ecofriendly bath products and a
breakfast fit for a king served at any time of day.

This quaint
dar
(small house) steps from Dar el-Bacha is home to Maxime and Mario and offers five of
the best-value riad rooms in town. Unlike other riads, Helen has a 1950s vibe with its
grey-green balconies and ceilings, pink pillared courtyard, tall French doors and shuttered
windows. Light streams into 1st-floor rooms furnished with comfortable, dream-inducing
beds dressed in thick cotton coverlets.

Dar Al Assad

For over 10 years
gorgeous Dar al Assad was the home of fabric designer and interior decorator Daniel
Bainvel, but now you have the privilege of booking one of its five royally appointed suites
decked out in museum-quality furniture, luxurious textiles, rare Rabati embroidery and
artworks commissioned from internationally recognised artists. Sink into statement beds
in brass and carved cedar, curl up with a book in salons crammed with busts and baroque
chairs, and wash the souqs off beneath rain showers in bathrooms equal in size to many
other riad rooms.

Tradition and modernity blend seamlessly in Eveline Donnez'
quietly stylish
dar
, where a thoughtful approach to luxury puts the well-being of guests
ahead of glitzy frippery. No comfort is overlooked from the individually handcrafted tas-
sels on each curtain to enormous, buffed
tadelakt
bathrooms, which are heated in winter.
