Riad Kniza
Marrakech
Riad Kniza is an 18th-century house in the Bab Doukkala quarter of the Marrakech medina, restored by Haj Mohamed Bouskri with traditional materials and local artisans. It is a small hotel of eleven rooms and suites set around three open-air courtyards, with a pool, a spa with hammam and a roof terrace used for meals. The Bouskri family still runs the riad, and the address sits within walking distance of the souks and Jemaa el-Fnaa.
