Riad Chbanate, hotel in Essaouira

Set on the city wall, this beautiful riad offers a rooftop terrace overlooking the old medina of Essaouira. Its spacious guest rooms are elegantly decorated with Moroccan design and a fireplace.

Our stay here far exceeded our expectations, and it was our favourite riad that we stayed at in Morocco. The staff were so lovely and catered to our every need in a relaxed, effortless and friendly way! The breakfast was delicious. The Riad itself and our room was super cool, well designed and spotless! The room exceeded our expectations and was even nicer and larger than the photos suggested. We even had a fire in our room when it was raining one evening which was lovely. We can’t recommend the riad enough. Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful stay.

    Awesome location in the heart of Essaouira - incredibly handy for the central square, the beach and the docks. Opted for the suite room - it was big and included a nice seating area. The Riad offers a traditional experience of a Riad design with most rooms looking into the courtyard. Provided with a welcome mint tea and Moroccan biscuits. Staff were always welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was good although less varied than other more expensive Riads we visited. Rooftop view is amazing of the sea and the docks, including the Borj El Barmil.
