Riad Golden Mansour

Around the corner from Place Lalla Aouda in Meknès's medina, Riad Golden Mansour occupies a restored courtyard house within walking distance of Bab Mansour and the royal stables — a quiet base for travellers touring the imperial city on foot rather than by tour bus.

Rooms keep air conditioning and heating for the medina's swing between hot afternoons and cool nights, plus family rooms for those splitting a courtyard stay. A rooftop terrace looks over the old town's low skyline.

Parking is available nearby, useful given the medina's narrow, car-free lanes.
