About Us
A tour through courtyards, staircases and corridors of seven traditional houses forming the Hotel Riyad El Cadi gives a good impression of the ancient and pure forms of traditional Moroccan architecture.
The Location
With Riyad El Cadi you will find a riad in Marrakech situated in the very heart of the Medina (Old Town). The riad has its doors 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 History
Herwig Bartels, a long life diplomat and German Ambassador to Morocco was the founder of the riad. Also, he was a connoisseur of the Arab world and a passionate collector of Islamic arts. Exemples of his collection are on display all over the riad.
