Location & Transportation

Riad Altair is located in the heart of the Marrakech Medina, a 10-minute walk from Jamaâ El Fna Square and the souks. Nearby landmarks include Museum of Mouassine (0.5 km), Jemaa el-Fnaa (1 km), Cyber Park (1 km), and Palacio da Bahia (2 km). The Hivernage and Gueliz neighborhoods are also within walking distance.

A staff of 6 people provides dedicated service, including warm welcomes and personalized attention. The riad offers private check-in/check-out and can accommodate special events such as birthdays, family reunions, and parties. Ironing facilities, heating, and a washing machine with dryer are available for guest use.

“This intimate riad, tucked just off the main road, struck me as a tranquil escape. The personalized service, owing to its mere six rooms, is a standout feature, alongside spa services that are unusually comprehensive for a hotel of this size. I particularly appreciate the two terraces, offering distinct perspectives for unwinding after a day in the souks.”
