We discovered Riad Hayati three years ago when it first opened. We've since been back four times. It has become our home in Marrakech. This time we invited several of our friends to spend the week with us. We rented the whole riad and I'm so happy we did. Hayati is the sort of place where you can wander around... more

From the moment we arrived at the airport and were greeted with Abdel's smiling "Welcome to Marrakech" we knew we were going to be happy. And we were, totally. Riad Hayati is simply devine. Stylish in an understated manner with superbly comfortable bedrooms and personal service that we won't soon forget. Breakfast on the terrace is an absolute dream. You... more

Walking into the Riad Hayati is like entering the pages of a luxury feature of Traveller or Elle Deco magazine- the epitome of style and elegance. After the madness of the medina, gentle and ultra-polite Abdel opens the unassuming ‘secret’ door of the Riad and you enter the central courtyard into an oasis of calmness and serenity of cool white... more

We very much appreciated the personalized pick up at the airport. I must admit that the first time we walked down the quiet but dusty derb to the simple front door of the Riad Hayati, I was wondering if we had made the right choice. Once we entered the courtyard, all doubts evaporated. The understated elegance of the decor and... more

The best advertisement for Marrakech has got to be Riad Hayati. Ron, the owner, has created a dream home in the midst of the ancient medina. This bustling city assaults your senses day and night. It's all here. The mayhem of the souks, the chic clubs and restaurants. But Hayati calms and restores you with its tranquility and charm and... more

This is an incredible Riad. It is so quiet and intimate it's like it is your own home. There are a brother and sister who help run and take care of the place. Some of the best meals we had in Marrakech were made for us in the Riad. We had such wonderful, friendly service it was truly like staying... more

We stayed here with four friends during the May bank holiday. What a wonderful surprise. Riad Hayati really sneaks up on you in its lovliness. We took that early flight from Gatwick and arrived in Marrakech quite tired. We needn't have worried. There was Abdel and the driver waiting to meet us and we were wisked off to the ancient... more

Let me just say that Riad Hayati is a winner-- a real treat. My partner (now fiance) and I were looking for a special place to celebrate our engagement. We had heard about Hayati from friends who stayed last year. It was all true. A wonderful romantic haven. Abdel and Mina were amazing. Totally discreet but they seemed to know... more

Marrakech is really extraordinary. Less than three hours from Nice and you are back to a 19th century medina with chic restos and clubs and ski resorts an hour away. Our stay was brilliant and I must say we owe much of it to the owner and staff of Riad Hayati.. They provided us with absolutely first class service and... more
