Riad 10 Mandarin BOUTIQUE RIAD

Folded into the Riad Zitoun Lakdim lane south of Jemaa el-Fnaa, Riad 10 Mandarin hides its four-star interior behind a plain studded door — the standard footprint for this Medina quarter, where facades give no clue to what's inside. The square is a seven-minute walk north; the Bahia Palace lies closer still to the south.

Rooms open onto a central courtyard rather than a corridor, so the plunge pool and citrus tree stay visible from most doors. A rooftop terrace catches the sunset over the Koutoubia minaret. The riad suits couples and small groups wanting Medina immersion without street noise.
