Guests can order breakfast in the room, request special diet menus, and choose from a list of wine and champagne. A coffee house on site offers peppermint tea in the solarium.
Wellness & Activities
The hotel has an indoor swimming pool and massage services on site. Bicycle rental and bike tours are available for exploring the medina, and walking tours depart from the riad. Themed dinner nights take place throughout the year, offering a taste of local culture.

“Riad Dar Zaya wins on location alone, set right at the souks' gate. The architecture struck me as wonderfully authentic; the entire place feels like a lovingly curated expression of Moroccan design. I suspect the personalized service, which clearly aims for guest comfort, elevates this place from a mere hotel to a truly memorable stay.”
