“Riad Sapphire & Spa impressed me with its blend of traditional Moroccan design and modern comfort, especially the private spa treatments. I believe the personalized service and the team's extensive hospitality experience truly set this riad apart. Its location within the Medina offers a tranquil escape while remaining close to major cultural destinations; the rooftop terrace undoubtedly adds to the allure.”

hidden entrance marble interior helpful host amazing breakfast
i found a hidden entrance within pink walls. inside, marble and courtyard gardens created a tranquil space. breakfast included fresh, local ingredients. i experienced a host that was so helpful. the bathroom products were also high quality and amazing.
the hotel is very slightly hidden in a maze of streets, and that caused me to feel disoriented at first.
