Le Ryad

Marseille


Morocco comes to Marseille at this stylish hotel, which takes its inspiration from the riads (traditional houses) of North Africa, all woven cushions, patterned rugs and colourful throws. There’s a lovely garden, the top-floor room ('Mogador') has its own mini roof terrace, and the Moroccan breakfast – with North African pancakes and fresh fruit – is worth the extra €7 per person.
