Riad 12

Riad 12 is a hotel made for lounging. On the ground floor there are three seating areas, including a dining room with grand glass table, and an opulent sitting room with a fireplace. We check in sitting on big white cushions with some mint tea, while staff serve us jasmine water to wash our hands with.
