Riad Tarabel

Riad Tarabel occupies five interconnected riads in the Dar El Bacha district of the Medina, the property's ten rooms and suites arranged across a configuration that gives the house both an unusual spatial range and the architectural coherence of a single address. The rooms run to sixty square metres with tadelakt bathrooms, double showers, roll-top bathtubs, and fireplaces in select rooms, the furnishing provided by bamboo, cedar, rattan, and souk-sourced antiques within a design vocabulary that blends aristocratic French Colonial references with Second Empire elements. A ground-floor pool and a rooftop plunge pool provide water at both levels of the building. The hammam and spa, reached through a door concealed behind a mirror, uses all-natural Moroccan products throughout its treatment menu. Complimentary breakfast and soft drinks are available throughout the day; a local mobile phone is provided to guests; airport shuttle service is included. The combination of the five-riad spatial scope, the quality of the room finishes, the hidden hammam, and the level of included services positions Riad Tarabel at the upper end of the boutique Medina category The five-riad structure means that guests at different points in the property are in different rooms with different spatial characteristics, a variety that the single address unifies without homogenizing. Riad Tarabel operates at the level of service and finish that makes Dar El Bacha the most coherent destination district in the Medina for guests seeking boutique luxury in an architecturally intact quarter of the old city.
