It’s the small touches that mark Riad Papillon out from the crowd: the beautiful geometric design picked out in blue on the wall behind the courtyard fountain, the striking copper flue above the fireplace in the lounge, the arched roof of the Hibiscus Room. Similar attention to detail has been lavished on the traditional design, with smooth, earthen walls, impressive wooden doors and colourful local fabrics. Brass tables and lamps have come straight from the metalworkers of the Marrakesh souqs. Given it’s very affordable pricing, Riad Papillion represents one of the best value-for-money riads in the city.
