The numerically-minded Italian proprietors of the small and luxurious Riad 72 are back with something of a sequel, Riad Due. And despite the name’s thirty-sixfold reduction — due being Italian for two, of course — it’s nearly identical in size, just four exceedingly stylish little suites in a traditional Marrakech courtyard mansion.
Its location, right by the medina’s central souk, places you right in the thick of it all. But the whole point of a riad hotel is that when you’re within its walls, the rest of the world is reduced to atmosphere — you’ll hear the call to prayer, and take in a bit of view from the rooftop terrace, but the prevailing sensation is one of chic, urbane luxury. This place is as stylish as you’d expect from its Milanese owners, always tasteful and completely free of kitsch.
With a guide or a some good directions you’re within walking distance of an endless variety of dining options — but if you’re in the mood to stay in, the hotel kitchen is happy to whip up a private meal, with a bit of advance notice. They’re not re-inventing the riad wheel here, just doing it more or less exactly right.
