The Riyad El Cadi lives and breathes through the people who work here – our team is the heart and soul of the place. I am very lucky to have so many wonderful staff who make this place so warm, beautiful and special. Together we make sure that our guests are pampered as if they were in a friend’s home. Our service is unobtrusive but always attentive.
