Riad Dar Coram

Beneath the Koutoubia minaret's sightline in the Issebtinne quarter, Riad Dar Coram sits behind an unmarked door on Derb Essakaya, a narrow lane inside the medina walls where taxis stop short and porters carry bags the final stretch on foot.

Rooms open onto a central courtyard with a plunge pool and citrus trees; the rooftop terrace catches sunset over the medina's flat roofs. Staff arrange guided walks to Jemaa el-Fna, an eight-minute walk away, timed to avoid midday heat.

The address suits travellers wanting an authentic medina stay over a modern hotel district base.
