Morocco Riad Numero 9

Morocco Riad Numero 9 | Urbane Nomads

Overview

Located in the heart of the medieval, UNESO-protected medina of Fez, Riad Numéro 9 is a haven of peace and tranquility. Its owner carefully restored the property using only traditional methods over a three-year period. The decoration of this richly embellished space makes it a true one-off: Asian, French and English antiques harmoniously cohabit, amplifying an ambiance of subdued luxury and charm. Each space has been carefully thought out to maintain quiet, relaxing areas that allow one to "escape". The property features two ground floor "salons", a Japanese sunken dining area in the central courtyard, a panoramic terrace with complete kitchen, and individual bedrooms where one can lounge or dine.

Works well as a base for luxury, high-end travellers to Morocco.

Accommodation

3 Bedrooms

One of two upstairs bedrooms features a double bed that is masked by a 'moucharabie' screen, which acts as a room divider. The bathroom, although not attached, is the largest in the house, with polished plaster walls, huge shower area and closets.

The second upstairs bedroom, with bathroom, is reached through sliding doors. Architectural interest comes from the fact that the space is on two levels with steps leading into the sleeping area. The French Empire-style secretary is a good place for writing.

The master suite features minutely hand-painted ceilings, which are the most finely executed in the house. The five-meter ceiling height makes them all the more dramatic. Furnishings here are also highly original and range from pony-upholstered Louis XV chairs, Asian antiques, Oceanic bark paintings to Art Deco bathroom fixtures and barber chairs.
