Angsana Riad Lydines

A splendid example of Moorish architecture, the Angsana Riad Lydines is set in the centre of Marrakesh’s old town. The restoration on this traditional riad has been done entirely by hand, with warm earthy tones, Zelliges and mosaics and traditional Arabic furniture and fabrics. The internal courtyard, which serves as a cooling airy space as well as to shade the inhabitants from the world’s prying eyes, has a glittering pool to immerse yourself in on hot days and plants all around, creating an exotic, mysterious and refreshing ambiance. Here you can also recline on one of the plush sofas and soak up the ambiance, read a book, or simply mull over all the experiences you are bound to have in this wonderful location.

In the beautiful rooms of the Angsana Riad Lydines, you can lose yourself in this Moroccan paradise. With arches and high ceilings, fine fabrics in warm tones, and authentic furniture, the atmosphere is pure Souk. On the rooftop, a Berber tent with daybed, scatter cushions and a private shaded area is the perfect place to languish and listen to the mouazin prayer calls at dusk. The hotel provides entertainment with a lending library and portable DVD players. If you feel like partaking in more active pursuit, the hotel conducts Moroccan cookery classes, or you could spend the day being pampered at the Hamman treatment room, providing a choice of spa treatments like professional massage.

The Angsana Riad Lydines is in the Kasbah area, just few minutes by walk from Saadians Tombs and Royal Palace. Sights such as the Jardin De La Menara, the Marrakesh Museum and the Jemaa El Fna are within walking distance and the nearest airport is three kilometres away.
