 The Riad Ifoulki is located in the middle of the medina, the old town of Marrakech, and just a few steps away from Africa‘s most famous spot, the Jemaa el Fna square.
A former wealthy merchant‘s home and 4 neighbouring riads have combined to create this charming maison d‘hote.
The terraces with fantastic views, a traditional hammam, massages, beautiful courtyards and salons invite you to enjoy a truly memorable stay in Marrakech. Book your room today in this splendid "Maison de Charme" for an unforgettable visit in the imperial city of Marrakech.
The rooms & suites at Riad Ifoulki have retained the charm of oriental salons. You sleep in ornately decorated four-poster beds, surrounded by traditional furniture, lamps and carpets, without, however, having to sacrifice any of the modern comforts. All the rooms have private bathrooms with Tadelakt. Each bathroom has a washbasin, shower and toilet. The Junior Suites have seats or even terraces inviting you to linger.
The word "riad" in Arabic ???????, ar-Riy??, means "the gardens". It designates a traditional Arabic courtyard house with an interior garden - the patio or inner courtyard. Today the word "riad" is used in Morocco as a touristic term for a guest house or small hotel.
In Riad Ifoulki, the original meaning of the term "riad" still applies: the entire hotel consists of five courtyard houses combined to create one complex. Two of the five inner courtyards have retained the same function as in the past. A fountain, surrounded by orange trees, flowers and palms, gurgles at the centre of the courtyard. In the context of social life in a riad, the salon is considered the heart of the house.
