Let’s face it, the riad hotel is not a genre that thrives on novelty. Most of what there is to say about any individual riad is subsumed within the definition of the word. They’re all townhouse mansions, wrapping around quiet little courtyards, their inner opulence shielded from the city streets by anonymous-looking outer walls. Riad Kaïss satisfies all these conditions; if there’s anything to recommend it in particular, it’s something somewhat intangible — sometimes what makes the difference is finding a riad whose aesthetic sense is in tune with your own.

At Riad Kaïss the design is an especially noteworthy strong point. This classic mansion was redesigned by Christian Ferre, a well-known French interior architect, and his take on the traditional Moroccan riad is at once authentic and fantastic. The operations are handled by the team behind Dar Les Cigognes, another of Marrakech’s top flight of riad hotels, and the combination of the breathtaking setting and the perfectly staged hospitality make for a first-class example of the design-riad specialty. Expect the usual riad offerings — spa, hammam, a small pool, and a highly personalized culinary experience, complete with cooking classes, if you wish — all raised to an exceedingly high level.
