    Absolutely amazing 17 century Riad. Staff are phenomenal, food was the BEST I've had in Morocco and the hammam and massage topped off our exceptional stay.

    The hotel is beautiful, and our room was adorable, comfortable, and spacious. We also indulged in a "Hammam" experience (an incredible bath, a must-try!) and a massage. The ladies who provided us with this special treat during our trip were...

Company info

My name is Abdellatif Ait Benabdallah, I am the owner of Dar Bensouda and I am a Marrakech & Fes Medina lover. I’ve always had a real admiration for the traditional Moroccan architecture, and I decided to turn this passion into a job. I felt that I had the fine mission to save the Moroccan heritage and I succeeded in restoring more than 200 riads all around the Medina. I kept some of them for myself and I turned them into guesthouses, restaurants and literary cafés. I love the fact of walking around the streets of the Medina and the interaction with the different kinds of people has always been my strength.
