Private Riad · Marrakech Medina
An entire Riad, reserved exclusively for you
Le Pavillon Kniza is an intimate three-bedroom Riad hidden behind a traditional Medina door. Inside, a glass-roofed patio, a Moroccan salon and a private rooftop with a pool and open-air lounge create a place made for unhurried days. Reserved in its entirety for one party, the Riad is yours alone throughout your stay.

The Riad
A private place to experience Marrakech at your own pace
Traditional Riads were designed around an inner patio, turning away from the street to create calm, shade and privacy at their centre.
At Le Pavillon Kniza, a glass roof shelters the patio while allowing the light to filter through. Below it, the dining table rests on a red Berber rug, the Moroccan salon opens through an archway, and the upper gallery looks down into the heart of the Riad. The result is a welcoming central space to enjoy in every season.
With three bedrooms, a salon, a private kitchen and a generous rooftop, the entire Riad becomes your own setting in Marrakech. Breakfast follows your rhythm, afternoons drift between the patio and the pool, and every space is reserved for you and your guests.
Our housekeeper and cook visit each day to prepare breakfast and care for the Riad, offering warm, attentive service while leaving you free to enjoy complete privacy.

The rooftop
Your private rooftop, from afternoon swims to evening drinks
Above the Medina streets, the rooftop is a private retreat throughout the day. Cool off in the pool, stretch out on a lounger through the afternoon, then move into the shaded lounge as the light softens over Marrakech.
It is arranged so that you need not go down for anything. A minibar fridge on the terrace keeps your own drinks cold and close at hand, and a shower and WC open directly onto the roof — so an afternoon by the pool can run all the way into the evening. As the light goes, the glass roof of the patio begins to glow gently underfoot.
The bedrooms
Three serene bedrooms, each with its own bathroom
Pale sand tadelakt, sage-green woodwork, Berber rugs and carved plaster details give each bedroom its own quiet character. All three have a private bathroom, air conditioning, heating and an in-room safe, with crisp white cotton and wool blankets chosen for comfort in every season. Two of the three can be made up as a king-size double or as two single beds — tell us which you would prefer.
02
The Gallery Room
King-size or twin bedsMade up as a king-size double or two single beds, with an en-suite bathroom, writing desk and the warm glow of traditional lanterns on tadelakt.
03
The Patio Room
King-size or twin bedsMade up as a king-size double or two single beds, with an en-suite bathroom, just a few steps from the central patio and the stairs to the rooftop.
The kitchen
Breakfast each morning, and a kitchen of your own
Each morning our staff arrive to prepare a traditional Moroccan breakfast: msemen and beghrir from the griddle, eggs, jams, fruit, coffee and mint tea, served at the table in the patio at the hour that suits you.
The rest of the day the kitchen is entirely at your disposal. It is a full kitchen rather than a kitchenette — oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge — so you can cook as you would at home, or simply keep the fridge stocked for the roof.

The salon
A warm place to gather as evening falls
When the Marrakech air cools after sunset, the Riad's interiors become an inviting place to slow down and gather.
The Moroccan salon opens from the patio through a carved archway, with generous banquettes, deep cushions and painted scenes of the old city. In the patio itself, a zellige-tiled fireplace stands at the head of the dining table, a television above it, and a fire prepared for cool winter evenings. It is a comfortable setting for a final mint tea, a quiet conversation, or simply the pleasure of staying in.
