Established long before the craze for converted riad hotels, La Maison Arabe has maintained a preeminent position amongst the myriad of riads that have opened in recent years. No expense has been spared in ensuring the decoration and architecture perfectly replicate a traditional Marrakeshi palace; tadlakht (smooth plaster) walls, intricate brick and tile work, carved wooden doors and ornate brass lamps create an opulent atmosphere, and the modern touches and conveniences ensure comfort takes just as high a priority as beautiful design.
