Riad Chbanate - An 18th-century riad with a rooftop terrace, spa, and proximity to Essaouira's landmarks
Set in an 18th-century French-owned riad, Riad Chbanate features eight individually decorated rooms with traditional Moroccan decor, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. Some rooms include balconies with views of the Medina, while others offer deep soaking bathtubs and fireplaces. A continental breakfast with crepes, pastries, and eggs is served daily at Riad Chbanate, and the onsite restaurant serves traditional tagines, couscous, and grilled fish for lunch and dinner. The property includes a full-service spa, a rooftop terrace with sunbeds and a whirlpool, and a fitness center. Located in Old Medina, the riad is a 4-minute walk from Mellah, 9 minutes from Mohammed Ben Abdallah Museum, and 100 meters from Place Bab Marrakesh. Guests can arrange off-site activities like camel rides and hammam visits through the 24-hour front desk.
