It is with immense pride that we share some exceptional news: the prestigious travel guide Huggy has selected the Riad Dar Chibania among its exceptional addresses. This distinction confirms our commitment to offering you an authentic Moroccan experience in the heart of the Medina of Marrakech, combining prestige, tradition, and intimacy.
Why did the Huggy guide single out Dar Chibania?
Choosing a Huggy travel guide is no coincidence. Of the hundreds of establishments in Marrakech, only a handful are featured in its pages. This ultra-selective publication only includes addresses that truly embody the spirit of the Red City while offering impeccable service.
An exceptional architectural heritage
Dar Chibania stands out first and foremost for its history. This 17th-century residence perfectly embodies traditional Moroccan architecture, with its generous spaces, shaded patios, and wall fountains. Every architectural detail speaks to the ancestral craftsmanship of Moroccan artisans, such as the meticulously assembled mosaics that adorn the floors and walls, creating hypnotically beautiful geometric patterns. The central patio, the true heart of the riad, offers the soothing atmosphere characteristic of traditional residences in the Medina.
An intimate setting in the heart of the Medina
Intimacy is one of the major assets of our establishment. With only 7 suites, 2 rooms, and one apartment, Dar Chibania can accommodate a maximum of 28 people. This configuration preserves a warm, family atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of large, impersonal hotels. To reinforce this intimate atmosphere, each space has been carefully designed, combining Berber rugs, original works of art, and contemporary fabrics that blend harmoniously with the ancestral architectural elements. This combination of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship and modern touches creates an authentic and comfortable setting for an immersive and soothing getaway.
An experience that transcends accommodation
Beyond the architectural aspect, the prestigious magazine was won over by the authentic Moroccan experience offered by the riad. Staying at Dar Chibania is a unique opportunity to experience Marrakech from the inside, in all its splendor.

For those who wish, an international menu also offers a variety of culinary delights, always with the same high standards of quality.
