Overview

Riad Chi-Chi is a small, chic riad in the middle of the Medina. It has 4 double bedrooms and 1 suite (max. occupancy 11), each with an en-suite bathroom. The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere means that staying at Riad Chi-Chi is more like visiting friends than staying in a hotel.

Its cool, simple and elegant lines create a calm and relaxing atmosphere. There are plenty of intimate sitting areas - roof terrace, courtyard with soothing fountain and Islamic pool, b’hou (Moroccan sitting area) and salon. Fabulous views over the Atlas Mountains from the roof terrace. In the evenings the riad is bathed in candlelight adding to the romantic feeling of this gorgeous riad.

We offer a whole range of services, such as mineral water in your room on arrival, free internet access, use of a mobile phone during your stay. Home-cooked meals can be ordered in advance over the internet or in the riad. All meals are prepared by our Moroccan staff using fresh ingredients from the market.

On top of that, we are happy to arrange trips, recommend and organise restaurant bookings as well as beauty/massage treatments in the riad for you. You can either book treatments in advance or upon your arrival leaving you to relax and enjoy your stay in Marrakech.

Location & Transportation

Riad Chi-Chi is ideally situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in the centre of the Medina, close to the Musée de Marrakech and the Medersa Ben Youssef, only minutes from the entrance to the Souks and a 10 minutes’ stroll through the Souks to the Square, Place Jemaa el Fna.

  DirectionsA local landmark is the Musée de Marrakech (Marrakech Museum) where there is a little square. With the museum behind you, there is an ancient dome on your left and the Ben Youssef mosque on your right. Walk through this square and take the street furthest to the right. Go under the arch, and the first street on your left is Derb el Anboub.

Turn into this street and walk to the end, there is a right-angle turn and at the end of the cul-de-sac, the door on the left is Riad Chi-Chi.
