In the know

Our favourite rooms

Simple and spacious, with white walls and brightly coloured fabrics, Riad Anyssates’ suites are named after the owners’ children and friends. We really loved the Josephine Suite for its floor-to-ceiling red drapery and the freestanding bath tub with rain shower in its smart grey taledakt bathroom. Decorated in cream and chocolate tones, the Anyssates Suite is the largest bedroom in the hotel, with its own private staircase.

Packing tips

Rooms don’t have TVs, so bring a portable DVD player (or a book) if you fancy a cosy night in during your stay (although with the Medina on your doorstep, why would you stay in?).

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

There isn’t a defined restaurant – but foodies need not fear – resident chef Nawal is both gifted and obliging and can rustle up a traditional Moroccan meal to suit your tastes anywhere in the riad.

Dress code

Since you’re almost certain to be dining in privacy, you only need dress to impress each other.

Top table

On the roof terrace, under the stars.

Last orders

At Riad Anyssates, there’s no such thing.

Room service

Food and drink can be provided both whenever and wherever you like.

Hotel bar

You can have drinks served anywhere in the riad. We recommend the little tables by the pool, or up on the rooftop under the tented canopy for mint tea and pastries.
