Riad Chez Henriette

Riad Chez Henriette Overview

First Impressions

Walking through the narrow alleyways of the medina to find Riad Chez Henriette honestly feels like you’re on a treasure hunt — and when you finally push through that heavy wooden door, you realize you’ve actually found something special. This four-star riad sits right in the heart of Marrakech‘s old city, tucked away on derb Boutouil where the sounds of the souks feel close but not overwhelming. The traditional architecture hits you immediately, with that gorgeous central courtyard that makes you forget you’re in the middle of one of Morocco’s busiest cities.

Location Magic

You know what’s brilliant about this place? It’s positioned perfectly — close enough to Jemaa el-Fnaa that you can wander over for the evening chaos in about ten minutes, but far enough away that you’ll actually get some sleep. I mean, couples absolutely love it here (they rate the location 9.3, which honestly makes sense), and during the day you can explore the labyrinth of souks without feeling like you need a GPS to get back to your room. The medina can be intimidating, but staying here gives you this perfect home base where the staff actually knows the neighborhood inside and out.

The Riad Experience

What really sets this place apart is how it balances authentic Moroccan design with genuine comfort — no tourist trap vibes here. The rooms wrap around that central courtyard in classic riad style, and you’ll find yourself spending way more time than expected just sitting in the communal areas watching the light change throughout the day. The 9.5 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen; you feel it in the details, from the hand-painted tiles to the way the staff remembers your name after one conversation. There’s this rooftop terrace where you can actually see the Atlas Mountains on clear days, which honestly never gets old.

Morning Fuel

Breakfast here is where they really show off — and I don’t mean in a flashy way, but in that thoughtful approach that covers everyone’s needs. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or need halal options, they’ve got you sorted with this continental spread that goes way beyond the usual hotel fare. The fresh bread alone is worth waking up for, and they’ll even pack you a breakfast to go if you’re planning an early Atlas Mountains trip or want to catch sunrise somewhere special. Eating in that courtyard while the medina slowly wakes up around you… well, it’s one of those travel moments you actually remember.

Why Guests Love It

This riad works because it doesn’t try too hard — it just delivers on what makes Marrakech magical while keeping you comfortable and well-fed. The location score of 9.4 tells the real story: you’re genuinely in the heart of everything that matters, but you’re not sacrificing peace or authenticity for convenience. Staff here seem to understand that balance between helping when you need it and letting you discover things on your own. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next Marrakech trip before you’ve even checked out.
