Riad Antara

Riad Antara was an amazing surprise in the heart of the Medina. The suites are beautifully designed, blending authentic Moroccan architecture with exceptional comfort and style. Anne, the owner, has clearly put tremendous thought into every detail, creating a riad that is both elegant and welcoming. We loved relaxing by the pool and had a wonderful first-time hammam and massage experience at the riad. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa. A special thanks to Abdul, who was an outstanding concierge. He helped with our luggage and provided excellent personalized recommendations for restaurants and shopping around the Medina. Breakfast was exceptional. Muna prepared a generous and delicious Moroccan breakfast each morning that was a highlight of our stay. With its beautiful design, ideal location, exceptional breakfast, and genuinely warm, attentive staff, Riad Antara offers an unforgettable Marrakech experience. For anyone seeking a riad that combines authentic charm, comfort, and truly personalized hospitality, this is an outstanding choice we would recommend without hesitation.

Liked everything

Samotný priestor po otvorení dvier je magický.Prekročíte bránu a vstúpite do iného sveta , kde je atmosféra ,očarujúce svetlo,pokoj a personál ochotný splniť vám všetky želania ,lebo ste v rozprávke 1000+1 noc.😊

Antara was an amazing peaceful oasis! Laurent was an amazing host. He made last minute tour reservations for private guides and was so kind and patient with our lack of planning. Fresh baked goods in the morning were delightful. Don’t hesitate to book. Also convenient location.

L’emplacement, le cadre, le souci du détail, le petit déjeuner.

Tout était parfait.

Perfekte Lage eines atemberaubenden Riads mit hervorragendem Service. Fantastisches, authentisches Design in perfekter Verarbeitung. Sehr freundliches Personal, das mit herausragendem Service glänzt. Die Eigentümer verstehen was Gastfreundschaft heißt.

The food was amazing, alongside warm and friendly service. The accomodations are pretty much perfect in all regards. The owners were amazingly helpful and kind, and the staff could not have been more pleasant and accommodating.

No complaints.

Excellent find. The riad has been renovated to an amazing standard with so many little touches that make it special. The service by its owners, Laurent & Anne and their staff, particularly Abdul was above and beyond. Laurent and Abdul gave such good recommendations in terms of restaurants and places to visit to see great architecture. Being greeted every day with hot tea and cookies everyday after a day at the medina was excellent! Breakfast was also very good each day and I have to say the quality exceeded what we got at the Oberoi in Marrakesh. Well done to the team at Riad Antara. We enjoyed our stay with you and we look forward to another visit, maybe this time we will have more time to use your hydrotherapy pool..

Alles war perfekt! Die Unterkunft besticht durch die vielen wunderschönen, geschmackvollen und authentischen Details und der persönlichen Betreuung durch das Eignerpaar Anne und Laurent sowie ihrem Personal. Wir haben uns willkommen gefühlt! Das Morgenessen ist sehr schmackhaft und überaus reichhaltig. Die Lage perfekt. Alle Unternehmungen wurden arrangiert und wir konnten uns sehr gut erholen. Der Ort ist eine echte Oase inmitten der Medina von Marrakesch. Wir kommen wieder!

Nichts

Its literally like home.

Cleanliness and the ambiance.

Just fabulous home away from home! Everything from the time we arrived was perfect. The Riad is gorgeously appointed, everything was clean, luxe, well-maintained and most of all, service from all the staff was impeccable. Laurent and Anne, the owners, were on hand to welcome us the moment we arrived. Then we were served tea and snacks in the “garden” while our luggage was brought up to our room. Laurent went out of his way to tell us the way around the Medina and how to get to certain places we wanted to go to during our visit. We also tried the massage and Hammam both of which were perfect. Breakfast was delicious and the staff went out of their way to prep ours earlier than their usual start time on our checkout day as we had an early departure. All in all, a fabulous experience!

Nothing! Everything was perfect!

The architecture and design are absolutely stunning, creating a peaceful oasis in the heart of the medina. The location is excellent, with everything within walking distance, yet the riad is wonderfully quiet and tranquil. The rooms are very comfortable and impeccably clean, and the rooftop terrace is the perfect spot to unwind. The breakfast was delicious, with homemade bread and yoghurt we looked forward to each morning.

Nothing at all – it was all wonderful

Excellent location in the medina, a beautiful and comfortable building/riad with excellent service. Everything is within walking distance from the riad, and the owners/managers go out of their way to provide advise and service. The staff is extremely helpful and professional, the breakfast with homemade bread and yoghurt is delicious, the beds are very comfortable, and the room was impeccably clean and very quiet. A glass of wine or a cup of mint tea on the rooftop terrace was the perfect way to wind down after an interesting and fascinating day in the medina. We also loved the hammam and massage, and would love to come back.

Nothing could be better.

Anne et Laurent ont été des hôtes charmants, serviables, et Abbou (?) trop bien ! Les PDJ étaient excellents (un peu compliqués sur la terrasse)

N/A

Zeer mooi en rustig gebouw, kamer en badkamer perfect in orde, lekker ontbijt, vriendelijke bediening. We konden steeds rekenen op Laurent voor het plannen van activiteiten en het vinden van restaurants. Absoluut genoten van massage en hammam in de Riad. Bij vertrek ook nog onverwacht een lunchpakket meegekregen voor op het vliegtuig. In de watten gelegd dus.

Door mijn knieprothesen had ik soms wat moeite met de trappen (geen leuningen) en kon ik niet gemakkelijk in en uit het zwembad (de trap was te hoog voor mij; geen leuning).

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful Riad. Stylish and comfortable room, tasty breakfast, lovely pool and terrace. The Riad is located perfectly on the edge of the medina so it is easy to access and close to many key sites. We received outstanding service from Laurent, Anne, Abdul and the rest of the team.

الفندق بادارة صاحب الفندق، يوجد فقط 7 غرف. الفندق انصح فيه كأنك في قصص الخيال. صاحب المكان مهتم بأدق التفاصيل، والفريق الذي يعمل بالفندق اشبه بالعائلة يهتمون فيك كأنك الشخص الوحيد النزيل لديهم. الاثاث تقليدي وجميل ومريح، الاكل من الذ الطعام الي ممكن تجربه (طبخ بيت) الطباخة منى تحرجك بكرم الضيافة وحسن الحديث والاهتمام (زودتنا بسندويشات للطريق المطار الله يغنيهم) الحمامات كلها مجهزة بشطاف وهذا يدل على اهتمام صاحب المكان (مصطفى). الفطور في السطح سحر لا يقاوم. واذا قمت الصباح بدري شوي ممكن تلحق تشوف المنطاد من السطح وهو يطير مع شروق الشمس. الغرف مجهزة بتلفزيون سمارت مخفي (مهمتك تكتشفه ). الاخ عبده (شفت الليل) والاخ محمد (شفت النهار) محترمين جداً ويخدمونك خدمة رايقة كلها احترام وادب. الخلاصة، ستكون هذه الرياض وجهتي دوماً في مراكش.

ولا شي.

Die Architektur und die Inneneinrichtung, die vielen kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten.

Alles - außergewöhnlich schönes Riad mit sehr großen, sauberen und wundervoll gestalteten Zimmern, liebenswürdiges und absolut überfreundliches, zuvorkommendes Personal, das beste Frühstück in ganz Marokko mit vielen hausgemachten Köstlichkeiten (Joghurt, Kuchen etc.). Der Besitzer und seine Frau hatten viele tolle Empfehlungen (Restaurants, Sehenswürdigkeiten). Wenn man nachmittags oder abends wieder ins Riad gekommen ist, wurde man immer herzlichst willkommen geheißen - mit Tee und anderen Köstlichkeiten. 100%ige Empfehlung - wir kommen wieder!!!

Wspaniała lokalizacja, czystość i gościnność gospodarzy. Nie było rzeczy nie do zrealizowania- gospodarze byli przemili i pomocni w każdej sytuacji. Śniadania były smaczne i urozmaicone.

The attention to detail and service at this Riad is exceptional. Laurent, Ann (owners) and the staff made the stay very special. Nothing was too much bother for them. Ideal location and a peaceful retreat after a day/night in the medina.

Absolutely nothing it was perfect!

Wunderschönes Riad. Sehr geschmackvoll, reizende aufmerksame Gastgeber. Perfekt gepflegt. Einfach wunderbar. Würde jederzeit wieder kommen.

Amazing team, very hospitable - you feel at home the moment you walk in and the Riad is so quiet and peaceful - a stark contrast to the busy Marrakech outside! We loved the decor, comfortable room, open roof, pool and friendly staff. A real gem in the heart of the medina. It was recommended to us by a friend and now we will be recommending it to everyone. Stunning stay that we will never forget. Thank you Laurent, Anne, Abdul and everyone at Riad Antara - we will be back!

No complaints at all - it was all wonderful.

The host are amazing and very kid friendly! They organized an early breakfast for us at 5:30am before our morning flight, above and beyond our expectations!

Everything! We liked (loved!) everything about Riad Antara! Anne and Laurent, and all of the team at Riad Antara, are extremely welcoming and hospitable, nothing is ever too much trouble. Anne helped us navigate Marrakech by showing us things to see on the local map and gave us some lovely recommendations for restaurants. The Riad Antara team are an absolute delight. I cannot understate this. Such lovely, lovely people. Abdul welcomed us warmly each afternoon as we arrived back from being out and again when we returned from our evening out. We loved returning of an afternoon to cool off in the lovely pool and have a little down time. Staff offered drinks service on our return/at the pool. The ladies who made breakfast are also so lovely and their breakfasts are delicious. We especially enjoyed sampling so many different baked goods that they had made, over the course of our four night stay, and the homemade yogurt was exceptional. Anne and Laurent organised transfers for us (emailed in advance) from/to the airport on our arrival/departure and the driver was also especially warm and friendly. We requested our room be made up as a twin (rather than a King) as we were travelling as Mum/Son and this was well accommodated and ready for us on our arrival. The decor of the hotel is stunning and the room had everything we required to be comfortable. If you are reading this I genuinely encourage you to look no further. I don’t write a lot of these reviews - but I couldn’t not - Riad Antara feels like home. We will be back, my husband and daughter also now need to visit! I have no doubt that whenever we do return the Riad Antara team will all remember us and will welcome us like family returning home.

Nothing!

It’s a beautiful quiet oasis in a fun loud city.

Nothing I can remotely think of

Very think is nice and perfect

Loved the design the owners were so helpful and the staff extremely friendly. Nothing was too much trouble

It was so peaceful rooms were big and loved the decor.

Lovely breakfast, homemade bread, local dishes & eggs to order.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Antara. The only area we feel could be improved is the roof terrace which could benefit from additional colour, cushions/soft furnishings to balance the lack of greenery or pool.

Fabulous stay. The hosts Laurent and Anne are most helpful. Their staff are very well trained and super friendly. Service was impeccable. Food was delicious and the property perfectly maintained.

There isn't anything I didn't like.

The owners, Laurent and his wife are wonderful. They are on site and will greet you at the taxi drop. Their passion in the Riad is clear and their love of Marrakech immediately evident. The detail in the rooms is exquisite. The staff are extraordinarily accommodating. The Riad is ideally located in the old Medina just steps from the chaos of the medina commerce, but behind the riad doors feels completely isolated from the rest of the world. I don't typically do reviews, but Riad Antara deserves the recognition.

nothing

Relaxing, perfect location, amazing staff. Anne and Laurent could not have been more helpful. The atmosphere was calm and contrasted perfectly with the craziness that is Marrakesh.

This is my second stay in the same property , and it gets better everytime you go there

I have noticed huge GCC and specially saudi tourist visiting morroco , and it was anounced that morroco was the largest city to visit in africa by saudi in 2024. I would recomend adding a toilet Shattaf / Toilet Sprayer. I had the same omment from multiaple people who visited the place and also arab people who i met in the same place as well.

Laurent and Anne are wonderful hosts in this impeccable and beautiful riad. The design is stylish and sympathetic to the Morroccan tradition with Gallic flair. The staff reflect the owners and are just as warm, friendly and professional. This is a special place.

Everything - contemporary , authentic , clean and fantastic hospitality.

Nothing

Amazing RIAD, on all fronts. We will be back!

Amazing property - beautifully decorated and furnished.

Nothing.

Unique, welcoming, nestled away from the bustling crowd. Very personal service from Anne, Laurent, Omar and Mona among others.

Leaving

The Riad Antara is a tranquil Oasis after the rush of Marrakesh. The staff all so good and helpful

Nothing

Absolutely superb! Delicious local ingredients

Fantastic property — very comfortable room, high quality bedding, beautiful interior, and great service. I only stayed for 3 nights but kind of felt like the staff was family by the end. They took great care of me, from owner Laurent walking me through a map of the town and recommending sights and restaurants to visit, to Munah and Abdul serving delicious food, learning my preferences, and just generally being there for anything I needed. Can’t say enough good things, highly recommend!

Wonderful hosts and staff. Went way beyond the norm. The property is first class all the way. Exceptional finishing, design, decor and service. Clean as a whistle. Spectacular.

Nothing

Beautifully renovated riad, great staff, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable owners in a top location.

No complaints.

This is the perfect location from which to explore Marrakesh. The road is literally an oasis of calm in the medina, so stylish and comfortable. Gorgeous roof terrace. Would love to go back

There’s nothing I can say to properly express how amazing this place is! The interior is breath taking! It’s beautiful, elegant, and sophisticated. Attention was put into every single detail. We loved everything about the property. Now onto the part of our stay that touched our hearts and changed our trip around.. we initially booked a different riad which turned out to be far less than our expectations. We booked our stay at riad Antara last minute when we decided to abandon our initial accommodation. Anne and Abdul met us down the street from Riad Antara and helped us carry our luggage. They even saved us from a man actively trying to swindle us for money. We were greeted with a pastry spread and Moroccan tea. Laurent owns this Riad with Anne and they made sure to treat us like family. Our last morning in Marrakech came super early.. before the sun came up. Laurent and another employee met us at the room to take our luggage down. They packed us a two person lunch to take with us on our journey to the Sahara. It was heart touching. Then, Laurent and staff carried our luggage all the way to the pick up spot we needed to be at by 6:30am - understand that the streets in Marrakech are cobble stone so dragging a heavy suitcase is no easy task. I received a text from Laurent the following day saying that we had left a very large, expensive painting behind at the Riad. Laurent went to the trouble of finding a way to package it and mail it back to us in the states. There’s not a single bad thing to say about this place. It was truly magical. Everything was taken care of for us despite booking it the day of. We love Laurent, Anne, and Abdul! We’re forever grateful. They turned our trip around for sure.

Absolutely nothing

Stunning! Excellent hosting from Laurent & Anne the owners and a special call out to Mr Abdul who looked after us so so very well! Sophisticated interiors all done with great taste! Super little touches like Moroccan slippers according to your shoe size, Moroccan sweets and tea on arrival, complementary glass of champagne before leaving, goody bag for flight as we had to leave late at night!

Not a thing!

EVERYTHING IS EXCEPTIONAL

Nothing

Luxurious riad with exceptional hosts who helped to book dinner at fabulous restaurants both nights & recommended sights for daytime. We loved every moment of our time here & wanted for nothing.

Nothing

This was our first visit to Morrocco. We’re so glad for choosing Riad Antara. Laurent & Anna helped us plan the entire trip by sending us a list of historic sites, tours, activities and restaurants. We booked almost everything in advance with their help. It was like having our own local travel agent. The Riad was very stylish and cozy with attention to detail in every corner. Location was perfect next to Bahia palace and a taxi stop which was so convenient. Breakfast and Tea was amazing. Special thanks to the staff especially Abdu which was so genuine and friendly. By the end of the 5 days we felt like we have a little family in Marrakech!

Lighting in the bathroom was too dim, they also could provide more pillow options, a long mirror in each room would be nice. All are minor adjustments that could improve the experience.

The breakfast was exceptional! rooms very spacious and clean. The Staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help us throughout our staff. Laurent and Anne our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. They gave us all the information regarding activities and also helped book them. Provided us with 5 star service!! All their recommended places were amazing!! Quad biking, camp site dinner, Balloon ride, cooking class, hammam spa, restaurants were all enjoyed by our group. Would definitely go back and stay there'd would recommend it to everyone.

Nothing to say

The Road is an oasis of calm, beauty with great attention to detail.

Nothing. The stairs up to the rooftop were challenging for my mother so we couldn’t take full advantage of it

Anne and Laurent are great hosts together with their team. Every wish is fulfilled, everything is a matter of course. We felt right at home. The riad is in a great location in Media and has been designed and furnished with great attention to detail. We will be back. ❤️ Ermina, Andreas and Emma

The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Decor is amazing. Every corner of the Riad is thoughtfully designed by the gracious hosts Laurent and Anne. Comfortable beds, great showers, nice pool and terrace. Food was delicious. Highly recommend!

Great quiet location, short walk to the main square

From the moment of our arrival, Laurent and his dedicated team could not have done anymore to look after us and make our holiday a fantastic experience. The Riad is stunning, with service levels that many 5* hotels would be envious of. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved the riad where I stayed! The owners were incredibly friendly and dedicated, taking the time to explain the city's ins and outs and helping plan activities and dining. The service was top-notch, incredibly attentive to every detail. With only 7 suites, it felt intimate and exclusive, and the decor was simply stunning, adding to the overall charm of the place.

The pool, peacefulness, stagf

Felt a little too formal sometimes to totally relax

Absolutely beautiful Riad in Marrakech! Laurent was very helpful with everything!

Riad Antara is an incredible place to stay in Marrakech! The property is so beautiful and relaxing, the staff is very accommodating and thoughtful. The rooms, rooftop, and Hammam (spa experience) were all wonderful. The owners went above and beyond with helping us choose and book which excursions to do, as well as which restaurants to eat at. I truly cannot recommend staying here enough.

Beautiful design, excellent location and service

Little choice for breakfast

From the welcoming messages and check-ins we received in the weeks prior to our arrival I felt this might just be a special place to stay. But we couldn't have been more surprised by this gem hidden in the bustling streets of Marrakech. As you approach the beautiful restored wooden door there is a hint of something wonderful awaiting you. My husband and I were not disappointed. Anne and Laurent are welcoming, wonderful, kind and friendly hosts, who have lovingly returned the Riad to an exquisite 5* (and I do not exaggerate the 5*) oasis of calm where nothing is too much trouble and they and their staff cater to your needs without question. Upon arrival a refreshing cold towel, glass of iced water, traditional Moroccan welcome and a pair of Babouche await before you are shown around the stunning, and spotlessly clean, restored Riad. In our room everything was well thought through, the decor calming and luxurious, the floors heated and the bed heavenly. Breakfast on the roof terrace was an enjoyable feast each day and also a place to soak up some sunshine or sip on a refreshing drink at the end of a day exploring the Souks. We have nothing negative to say about our time spent at the Riad Antara and if you choose to stay here we hope you too will be delighted by the oasis of calm offered to you by Anne and Laurent.

It was very close to everything, the cleanest place i ever stayed at, all the staff were very helpful and friendly! We loved loved loved our stay here, definitely will come back soon🥰 Thanks laurent, abdu, mona🥰

Nothing, its was perfect

Stylish and beautifully appointed Riad. The owners Laurent and Anne were warm and generous hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and they were full of excellent recommendations. There were lots of little touches that we really appreciated. Thank you so much!

Nothing to note.

Anne & Laurent are the loveliest hosts and all the staff super friendly. The Riad is so beautiful and peaceful - a true oasis in the middle of Marrakech! The rooms are stunning and so gorgeously decorated!

Exceptional and personalised service. Friendly and professional people are running this accomodation. We had one of our best holidays in Riad Antara in the heart of Morocco.

The property is ideal. The people and staff are phenomenal. To find such genuine good people in the world is a treat.

Nothing

I celebrated my 50th birthday with a delightful stay at Riad Antara, and from the moment we stepped through the doors, Laurent, Anne, and their exceptional team provided us with impeccable service. We were greeted with refreshing mint tea and delectable dates. Breakfast was a delight, whether enjoyed on the rooftop terrace or in the charming ground-level dining room. Our entire stay was nothing short of incredible, and we felt thoroughly cared for. I can't wait to return.

Amazing Riad with wonderful welcome on arrival. Beautiful room..... Laurent is just incredible and provides so many ideas and recommendations ......all of which were fabulous! 100% recommend this gorgeous Riad!

If Marrakesh, then Antara! Owners and team are incredibly courteous! Rooms and whole Riad including roof top fullfill all wishes!

Honestly - NOTHING

They served us excellent breakfast as they catered for our special dietary needs which we had informed them about before our arrival and they were very careful in serving what we required. The location is excellent as you could walk to lots of places of interest without need of any transport.

N/A

Beautiful property, tastefully decorated. But above all the hospitality from Laurent and staff is outstanding. Laurent is never short on good tips and ideas on what to do; he helped us book several great restaurants and arranged a day trip for us to Essaouira.

The Riad was absolutely incredible. The common area space was warm and comforting. The rooms were clean, stylish and perfect to come back to after walking through the town center. The level of attention and hospitality by the entire staff was top notch and some of the best I’ve experienced. Would recommend to any and everyone.

Everything was great.

The ambiance, the staff, the wonderful food, everything here is a treat! Beautifully furnished and a real oasis of beauty

N/a

Owner and staff.were great. They have gone such a great job with this property.built from rubble over 10 years. They really went the extra mile for me.great value!! Special mention to their friends at the riad si said restaurant. I was too hot from the long day to feel hungry and they offered to send something over at 9:30 pm. When I could eat. Didn't even ask!!! Riad Antara family style!!! Thanks to Fatima at riad si said restaurant!!!

Nothing? The heat for a few days? Best riad of my 3 week journey

breakfast was good, Irish breakfast with different bread selection daily. Excellent location, close to souk and bahia and badi palace.

mini fridge in the room would be nice. Softer bed linens.

the owner, the riad, the breakfast, everything!

nothing it was all fabulous

EXCELLENT! Laurent is a very attentive host. We felt very comfortable. We will come back again.

-

An amazing place where Laurent, Anne and all the staff welcome you warmly and you are made to feel at home rather than a paying guest. The transfer to/from the airport, the welcome (despite being early), the advice and attention to detail were all perfect. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all for a wonderful stay.
