Overview

Riad Le Pèlerin is a recently renovated property that pays tribute to the Berber people with a preserved historical Moroccan design. Nestled at the edge of the ancient Medina, it's an ideal starting point for your Marrakesh experience, putting you within a 15-minute walk of the bustling market square, Jemaa El-Fna. Other sites are also within walking distance, including the Mederssa Ben Youssef, which is a 10-minute stroll, and Koutoubia, a 12th-century mosque, about 20 minutes away.

The Riad's seven rooms, each named after a Moroccan Berber Village, provide an immersive experience of an ancient world. They're meticulously decorated with furniture and carpets sourced from local manufacturers, transporting you to the elegance of Morocco. Each room is equipped with a shower, air-conditioning, heating, a sitting area, and a desk. From the double rooms to the king suite, each offers a unique blend of coziness and authenticity. Toiletries with a unique perfume, Les Fleurs d'Orange, are provided in refillable packaging, reflecting the Riad's commitment to reducing plastic use.

Riad Le Pèlerin isn't just a place to rest—it's a culinary delight as well. It embraces the Slow Food philosophy, offering fresh and healthy food prepared daily by Rachida, their chef. She visits the local market every morning to buy the freshest produce, which she uses to prepare traditional Moroccan dishes with a modern touch. The Riad also offers private treatments in your room with Zeina Spa or a Hammam experience at Riad Nyla, a close neighbor. Whether you're savoring a meal on the terrace, unwinding in the lounge, or indulging in a spa treatment, you're bound to find a deep connection with yourself at Riad Le Pèlerin.

I'm sounding a bit redundant however ALL the hotels/Riad's were clean, beautiful and comfortable!! Riad Le Pélerin was no exception. And the staff, of course, was so attentive and super nice. And once again, the food was delicious and fresh!!

We absolutely loved the design and decor of this riad and the staff was so attentive! The traditional breakfast was delicious and our every need was attended to. We were grateful that they met us at the street and helped get our baggage to the property since it was not accessible by car. During a trip that took us to three countries and 5 cities this was our favorite hotel experience of all. Read more

We loved Le Pelerin!!! This small riad is elegant and welcoming. Every detail is perfect. The style is a modern Moroccan with a sophisticated style. The staff were over-the-top great! I would highly recommend this riad to anyone. It is a sweet oasis in the chaos of Marrakesh. Breakfasts...terrific! Rooftop open for relaxing or a bite to eat.

Finding the riad would be a challenge without the help of a driver/guide. Arrangements were made and the staff came to the main road and guided us back into the medina. Walking through the narrow alleyways was daunting for a first time Marrakesh visitor but the dark alley opened into a glowing gem of a riad. The surprise factor made it even more beautiful.

Authenticity & Character
Loved the way in which the old structure was maintained and enhanced by the contemporary updates.

Being in the medina was a terrific advantage. Really liked the close yet remote location

Brand new Riad, very well located close to Dar El Bacha in the Medina of Marrakesh. The rooms were very beautifully decorated. Breakfast was good, and service was nice. Only negative is that the rooms are not insulated from the noise of other guests, so a baby in another room or a phone in the reception woke us up several times at night. Read more
