Close to the Royal Palace, about 20-25 minutes walk from the Djemmaa el Fna, Les Jardins de la Medina is a cross between a riad and a hotel. It is a beautifully restored former royal residence with 36 rooms laid out around a large central garden, all with views of the spacious garden with its large swimming pool (heated in winter).
The rooms at Les Jardins de la Medina are tastefully decorated, with air-con/heating and en suite bathrooms. They also have a terrace or balcony. There is a Moroccan and also an international restaurant, and a novel idea of a humidifier, which in the intense heat sprays you with a very fine mist to cool you as you eat outside.
Other facilities at Les Jardins de la Medina include a hammam, spa, beauty centre, hairdresser, fitness area, salon and boutique. This is a lovely place to stay for anyone, and very useful if you have children but still want a more intimate type of hotel.
