Maverick Global have done an utterly successful restoration of this Marrakech Medina Riad, the architectural concepts; design & build subtly resonate throughout Riad Laksiba. Blending creams and beige, terracotta, cedar wood, plaster effects (tadelakt) all of which sympathetically harmonise without attempting a bold-statement. “Old Palace”, style, is a tall order for any designer and very hard to achieve, or at least, pass-off as authentic. “Riad Laksiba feels centuries old. Riad Laksiba looks, feels and is… totally authentic”… Beautiful hand carved arches and columns, in sable-de-la-mer and tadelakt, influenced by the Kasbah Mosque and the Saadian Tombs. Solid Cedarwood doors and windows with hand carved Berber motifs. Quiet salon areas outside four of the five en-suite bedrooms to give guests quite individual space to enjoy sumptuous breakfasts, mint tea, discuss the world, keep in touch through the Riad’s free wifi or relax and read one of the many books and novels scattered around. Well-appointed, un-fussy, bedrooms with polished cream plaster walls, terracotta floors, and ethnic rugs; all enjoying the modern comfort of Air-conditioning and en-suite wet-room, good pressure, showers. All beds have been hand carved specifically for Riad Laksiba, twin beds in each room – pushed together to make doubles when required, with firm mattresses and hand weaved stripy covers in cream, beige and chocolate. The Splash Pool on the ground floor courtyard offers a respite from the heat of the day and acts as a natural acclimatisation to the common areas. The south facing roof terrace has sun lounger’s and also an essential, summertime, cold water shower and great “chill out” furnishings for shisha-pipe star gazing in the evenings. During the winter the terrace boasts excellent views of the Mighty snow-capped Atlas Mountains. Located in the Royal Kasbah district of the Medina and very easy to find; one would struggle to rival its location.
