Riad Idra

Riad Idra occupies the Dar El Bacha quarter of the Medina with seven suites arranged within the traditional riad structure, the building positioned in one of the more residential and architecturally coherent sections of the old city. The suites are individually named and furnished at a level of care that the boutique scale of the property makes possible: each one offering the particular quiet of a space where the sounds arriving are those generated by the building and its courtyard rather than by the street outside. The spa facility extends the wellness dimension of a stay beyond the hammam baseline that the category provides as a minimum. The restaurant, operating under the name Les Saveurs, serves Moroccan cooking in an interior that maintains the architectural register of the riad throughout, the kitchen and the dining space in close enough proximity to give the food the same domestic character as the rooms above. Riad Idra has maintained a high standard of guest satisfaction over a sustained period, a consistency that in the Medina context is earned rather than given and represents the cumulative result of decisions made daily rather than at the moment of opening. The Dar El Bacha position places the riad within easy reach of the principal markets and the main square while sitting in a neighbourhood whose residential character provides a genuine counterpoint to those destinations.
