RIAD LOLAMédina · Marrakech
The turquoise rooftop plunge pool of Riad Lola between terracotta pots of cacti, straw hats on the deck

The medina all around. Calm in the middle.

Riad Lola is a bohemian guesthouse two minutes from Jemaa el-Fna — raw tadelakt, white linen, potted cacti and a turquoise plunge pool on the roof.

A house composed, not decorated.

Behind a carved wooden door on Rue Biadine, Lola has composed a house like no other: hunted-down Berber rugs, raffia pendants, Tamegroute pottery, filtered light. Guests put it simply in their reviews — "peace at last" — a few steps from the souks.

The draped rooftop lounge of Riad Lola: raffia pendants, timeworn cabinet, white linen sofa

A setting no hotel can copy.

Nothing comes from a catalogue: every rug, lantern and timeworn cabinet was chosen, placed and reconsidered by Lola.

No two rooms are alike.

Deep-green tadelakt, arched alcoves, white-veiled canopy beds: the rooms carry the same hand as the rest of the house.

The green room: moss-green tadelakt walls, pierced-copper sconces, white bedding
A bed set beneath a warm tadelakt arch, lantern light on the walls
A white canopy bed beside tall cacti in terracotta pots
Rooftop daybeds under white canopies at Riad Lola
The sunlit rooftop salon: aloes, a green Tamegroute bowl on a palm-trunk stool

The roof is the slow heart of the house.

Morning coffee above the medina rooftops, a dip in the plunge pool, a nap behind white drapes, lantern-lit evenings.

« Peace at last. »

The Koutoubia minaret over the palm fronds of Marrakech

Dead centre of the medina.

4 Rue Biadine: Jemaa el-Fna two minutes on foot, the souks at the end of the street, the Koutoubia on the rooftop horizon.
