Riad l'Esprit des Patios & Spa

Hidden behind an unmarked door on Derb Lalla Chacha in the Medina, Riad l'Esprit des Patios & Spa opens onto a tiled inner courtyard where the pool sits below three floors of balconied rooms — a quiet counterpoint to the souks a five-minute walk east.

The spa runs its own steam room, Turkish bath, and treatment menu spanning body wraps to couples' massage, staffed separately from the front desk. Breakfast can be taken in-room or on the rooftop terrace.

Ground-floor units suit guests avoiding stairs; family rooms and a shared kitchen make longer Medina stays practical.
