About the location
Famed for its exotic ambiance, eclectic style and unique architecture, Marrakech is a fascinating destination which attracts visitors from across the globe. Framed by the snow capped High Atlas Mountains, at the heart of the city is the central medina which is steeped in ancient history, combining Arabic and African culture.
Marrakech offers a feast for all the senses. Bustling market stalls line the walkways, while elaborate archways open up into tranquil courtyards. The city is alive with vivid colour and tourists will fall in love with the vibrance of this city. Walls are awash with rose pink, spices create golden hues, deep red textiles add richness and shades of blue bring a pop of colour to doors. Aromas from food stalls waft throughout the streets, offering authentic flavours including tagine and fresh seafood. Sandwiched between the historic mosques and beautiful mansions, you’ll find quaint shops and boutiques (or souks), selling a range of authentic wares from hand beaded slippers to fragrant spices. And it’s not uncommon to stumble across entertainers including jugglers, snake charmers and belly dancers, adding to the exotic buzz of the city.

It was our first foray into Morocco and we couldn???t have found a better Riad to experience a culture, aesthetic and world different from what we know. Fabulous location in Medina yet easy to access modern city as well. Marrakech can be a sensual overload and so coming back to the world of Kniza was so important - it was a beautiful and peaceful oasis in the midst of a teeming souk. And as others have remarked the owner is the soul of the Riad-the knowledge he shares with his guests reminds us how travel expands our horizons.

We got the experience of staying in this beautifully design Riad which is located at the beginning of old bazaar, very close to one of the city gate. Good located if you need taxi to go airport or any where else.
Rooms are clean and equipped with chimneys which are great if you use it in cold winter nigh. Having breakfast with the fire on in chimney was our son???s favourite part. Staffs were helpful and totally tried their best. Try their sister restaurant opposite riad (inside the art gallery). Food was great there.

This is a wonderful and luxurious resort in a fascinating city. It is distinguished from other luxury riads in its authenticity: this riad has been in the family for many years and has been restored by the family with pride and with appreciation for its history and architectural integrity. And so it didn???t feel like the other riads we visited, most of which were beautiful but on some level felt more like luxury chain hotels done up in Moroccan style. This had a sense of place, of high style and genuine Marrakech feel. But it is every bit as luxurious as anywhere in the Medina, and, with the neighboring museum (part of the hotel) a wonderful way to experience the artistic and cultural heritage of Marrakech. I can recommend this hotel without reservation to anyone.

We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary at the Riad Kniza and loved every bit about this hotel. The staff was amazing, friendly, attentive when they needed to be with the right balance of not being intrusive. They setup everything we asked for, from last minute dinner reservations, to city tours and even a last minute private desert overnight tour for us with a phenomenal tour guide.
Breakfast was amazing every day and always ready upon request despite the day or two we had breakfast for lunch. This seemed to be our own private sanctuary away from the hectic M??dina streets. They even surprised us with a band and a cake to celebrate our anniversary night after coming back from dinner.
Thank so much for making our anniversary so special.
