Overview
Riad Cherifa offers an immersive experience in the beating heart of the Blue City, just a 4-minute walk away from the iconic BAB SSOUK gate. This hotel mirrors the concept of a medina within a medina, making it a microcosm of the bustling city within its walls. This location allows you an easy exploration of Chefchaouen, putting the city right outside your door. Five minutes gets you to the Place El Haouta and you just need 10 minutes to walk to the Kasbah and Grand Mosque of Chefchaouen.
The accommodation at Riad Cherifa is designed to evoke the traditional architecture of the region, with gardens, courtyards, and spacious lodgings replacing the usual hotel corridors and rooms. The various rooms and suites, each thoughtfully designed, range from budget options to suites, each with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and a tea/coffee maker. The suites offer a more spacious setting with a seating area and added amenities.
Riad Cherifa also offers a few amenities to enhance your stay. The swimming pool, surrounded by lush foliage and secluded pavilions, offers a retreat from the sun. The Riad Cherifa Hammam & Spa, a premier wellness destination in Chefchaouen, offers different treatments, including a traditional Moroccan Hammam experience complete with steam, beauty rituals, gentle exfoliation, and ceremonial massage. It's the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate after a day of exploring the city.
