Riad Dar 73

My adult daughter and I travelled to Marrakech mid-July and had an exceptional stay at Riad Dar 73. The staff were warm, welcoming and extremely helpful. The location was ideal; a 3-minute walk to the entrance of the Bahia Palace grounds, a leisurely 7-minute walk through the souks to Jemaa el-Fnaa, and a short distance to countless shopping and dining options ranging from budget to high-end. Our 10-minute taxi ride to the Majorelle Gardens cost 50MAD.
The décor of Dar 73 is sophisticated and the amenities plentiful. On the ground floor, the dining and lounging areas include a cozy room perfect for playing a game or reading a book. The rooftop terrace was ideal for our morning breakfast and daily afternoon dips in the plunge pool. Breakfast was slightly different each morning but always delicious. Warm bread, fresh-squeezed orange juice, local honey, homemade jam, fruit, crepes, yogurt, tea and coffee, all served with a smile. The pool was one of the reasons we chose this riad and we took full advantage of the chance to get some relief from the heat. With plenty of seating on the terrace, it felt like a private oasis after the bustle of the souks. We didn’t use the spa facilities, but they appeared lovely and inviting albeit quite compact.
We spent our first 3 nights in the Tizi'N Taaddat Junior Suite, opting for the 2-bed configuration. The room felt larger than it looked in the photos and was very nice. The beds, pillows and linens were of good quality and we slept well.

As a designer, spending a week in an well designed environment, does wonders to the soul. Dar 73 provided that memorable experience which will linger on. After a day in the busy souks, visiting museums or stocking up on local artisanal designs, returning to Dar 73 was a veritable haven of serenity and grace.
The bedrooms were luxurious and so were all the public spaces. Perfectly designed to delight the spirit and relax the senses.
Above all, the staff treated us like family. Warm Moroccan friendliness, attentive service, superb breakfast catered to our health needs, excellent cooking and mesmerising spa treatment. A bubbling fountain serenaded us one morning as we rested in the salon, and oriental music travelled the mind to distant sand dunes and into the sunset. The pool was refreshing, the sunsets were priceless and the summer breeze on the terrace a serenade to drift away. We take away the warm welcome, the smiles, the kindness, the happiness of the gracious hosts, who made our stay as special as the whole of Marrakech; Marrakech is in the hearts of its citizens, and we were blessed to have such wonderful hosts. A highly recommended haven of beauty, relaxation and Moroccan hospitality at its best.

Me and my husband stayed here in January for 5 days and had the most wonderful experience. The Riad is not reachable by taxi as others have said but it is one street away, only a two minute walk. The staff were exceptionally helpful and spoke both French and English, they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and even walked us into town when we weren’t sure where to go 🤣. The breakfast was always top tier and it was a nice atmosphere eating with everyone in one room, there was usually yogurt, honey, fruit and pancakes and then coffee and juice. The rooms were very comfy and also smelt very good. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, the square is a few minutes walk away and has lots of food places around. 10/10 ❤️

Excellent location, close to the busy medina but in an alleyway which is very quiet. The Riad was very clean and the room was clean and towels changed every day. The breakfast was so tasty and a variety of food. A well done to the Team 73, Amine, Essaid, Fatiha, Khamissa and Rafika for making our staycation amazing and unforgettable. Francisco and Elisabete.

I’ve stayed in many riads during my vacation in morocco and I have to say by far, Dar 73 is the best one I’ve been to.
The rooms were well appointed, beautiful terrace, homely common areas and they even have an in house hammam and massage service. Breakfast was great and was slightly varied over the 2 meals I’ve had with Dar 73.
Staff were extremely friendly and professional as well. Please consider Riad Dar 73 for your holiday, you will not be disappointed.

Really wonderful experience staying here. The staff, especially the owner, went out of their way to accommodate our needs, including a mix up by Expedia over the room booked. Clean and good breakfast with lovely rooftop. Would recommend!

Stayed a couple of nights with a friend. The staff are very professional and friendly (I think it is a plus if you speak french though! )
We found the entrance a little difficult to find but after we became familiar with the area, we thought this riad was very well located and very safe (it is opposite the synagogue)

We had an absolutely lovely stay in Dar 73! We originally booked to stay here for two nights but after a bad experience with a tour driver (unaffiliated with Dar 73) we decided to extend our stay in the riad by another night and returned to Marrakech early.
Isabelle who was the owner was kind enough to come out of the riad to find us. Our taxi dropped us off a few minutes away from the riad's doorstep but it felt like a very safe walk even for two young women travelling alone. There is a synagogue right opposite the riad and the people milling around (a group of women in particular) were very helpful in pointing out the door of the riad. Their presence also made us feel safe, even when returning to the riad late in the evening.
The decorations in our junior suite (Tizi n'Taaddate) were stunning! The high ceiling gives a feeling of luxury and roominess, and the bed was so comfortable that we fell asleep immediately each night. It was a nice touch that the toilet was partitioned away, although something to note is that you don't get much privacy from your travel companion after a shower. So our junior suite would be a bit more suitable for a couple or close friends.
The breakfast was light and healthy, and they kept it quite varied between the mornings. We really appreciated that they agreed to switch out the crepe for eggs one morning.
I enjoyed the hammam and massage experience — both private rooms near the roof terrace were very well decorated, and the staff were attentive.

What a great place to stay, location spot on close to all the action but in with the locals. Staff could not be more helpful and lovely. From the outside you think OMG but once inside it is so amazing and all you could want. The breakfast was great and has made me fall in love with mint tea. Will recommend Dar 73 to anyone going to stay in Marrakech, if I am return will definitely stay here again.

What a truly amazing experience in Riad 73.
All the staff were fantastic with us, the breakfast was just perfect and the location amazing and walking distance to everywhere (we like walking).
Thanks to Riad 73 our week in Marrakech has be just perfect and fantastic.
Thank you.

Very careful with his Riad, they overbook. We don't recommend booking there as it can ruin your holiday. We booked 5 nights in the Riad for our honeymoon and when we arrived they said they had overbooked one of the nights and they offered us to stay the night in the manager's house.! We asked them to book another Riad for that night (which was already a nuisance) but they declined and they said that the only option available was the house and they didnt let us speak to the owner directly as the conversation was going nowhere with the manager. Therefore, we had to leave and find a nearby Riad for the rest of our stay. Do not trust them specially Amine the manager. I now see some other posts regarding his character which must be about him. The worst experience of our lives.

Wonderful. A haven of tranquility a couple of minutes walk from the busy streets and souks. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Slept well every night followed by a delicious light breakfast. There's also a great in-house hammam. The sunny roof terrace is ideal for relaxing and has a plunge pool. Highly recommended.

Every part of our stay in dar73 was amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful I have never experienced hospitality quite like it. Breakfast each day had a lovely selection of things from fruit to pastries. The food we requested for lunch was also delicious. We booked a traditional hammam experience within Dar73 and this was also incredible. The room itself was gorgeous and had brilliant aircon. The terrace is a lovely place to sunbathe and relax away from the intensity of the medina. I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff are so helpful and really go the extra mile.

What an oasis of calm, a true gem! This tiny door (which you have to stoop to get through) opens into a light, spacious, trendy riad. Very tranquil. Super clean, the friendliest staff who couldn't do enough for us during our stay. Superb rooftop with great views, even a small pool. My room was fabulous, great decor, highly recommend. A 5 minute walk and in the heart of Marrakesh medina.

The riad is very well located. Impeccable cleanliness, very friendly and welcoming staff. Riad decorated with great taste and care. Breakfast is divine!
