Riad Oriental Glory & Spa

Below the minarets of the Zaouia Abbassia quarter, Riad Oriental Glory & Spa occupies a traditional courtyard house on Bounouala street in Marrakech's Medina — a ten-minute walk from Djemaa el-Fna square, well suited to travellers who want the souks at arm's reach without the noise of the main drag.

The riad centres on a tiled courtyard that opens upward to a rooftop terrace with views across the Medina roofline. An outdoor pool sits below terrace level — rare square footage in this density of alleyways. The spa rounds out the hammam-and-treatment offer expected at this address tier.

Breakfast draws consistent praise and is served either courtyard-side or on the roof. Airport shuttle removes the haggling that usually greets arrivals at Marrakech Menara. Check-in opens at 15:00; check-out is 11:30.
