Location
Riyad El Cadi is situated in the heart of the Medina (Old Town), at the end of three cul-de-sacs. Thanks to these three entrances and the very central location in a secure part of the old town, you can reach all destinations in the Medina within a very short time.
The Hosts
The El Cadi Riad Marrakech is not a hotel with indistinguishable rooms, but a guesthouse where all rooms are individually created. We aim to serve our guests without their being aware of it – as if they stayed with friends: Our service is unobtrusive but always attentive.

History

Riyad El Cadi in der ICON
“Anders als andere gehobene Riyads der Stadt hat man im „El Cadi“ nicht den Eindruck, dass jeder Winkel des Hotels eine Bewerbung für Instagram ist, die auf die Projektionen westlicher Touristen setzt, wie „exotische“ und „orientalische“ Häuser auszusehen haben. Julia Bartels, die Tochter des inzwischen verstorbenen Diplomaten, führt das Hotel, und sie hat sich für einen Luxus entschieden, der von Kennerschaft zeugt: Mit einer Kunst- und Antiquitätensammlung, die nichts hinausschreit. Mit Möbeln, bei denen man sich dabei ertappt, wie man sie streichelt. Mit Betten, die kühl und einladend zum träumerischen Halbschlaf verführen. Es herrscht eine sehr persönliche Atmosphäre, so als wäre man zu Besuch bei polyglotten Verwandten.” ICON, November 2018, S. 96Early Bird – 20% off for early reservations
