16, rue Sénac de Meilhan, 13001 Marseille
You are here at the Ryad, a unique haven of peace nestled in the lively center of Marseille. This former bourgeois house, converted into a boutique hotel, embodies the essence of the Mediterranean blend: a successful marriage between traditional Moroccan style and 19th-century Marseille architecture. Just steps from the Canebière, this address charms with its discreet allure and calming atmosphere, offering guests a relaxing setting in the heart of the city. From the entrance, the decor evokes Moroccan riads, with a shaded patio adorned with palm trees, roses, and jasmine, blending serenity and exoticism.
Each of the eleven rooms in the hotel has a unique personality, influenced by Moroccan craftsmanship and design. You’ll find warm colors, typical patterns, and carefully chosen artisanal furniture. Natural light bathes the rooms, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere that prevails. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped: quality bedding, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, mini-bar, and a private bathroom with either a bathtub or a large shower. Some rooms offer a sitting area or a private terrace, perfect for enjoying a moment of tranquility.
The Ryad’s garden is undoubtedly one of its major assets. It offers guests an intimate space, ideal for enjoying a quiet breakfast or simply relaxing during the day. Inspired by Moroccan traditions, breakfast offers several options: a traditional Berber version with Moroccan pancakes, honey, and oriental pastries, a classic French option, or an express formula for quick departures. In the morning, you can enjoy a fragrant mint tea accompanied by oriental sweets, while savoring the freshness of the garden.
The Ryad’s team stands out for its attentive and personalized hospitality. Every need is taken into account with great flexibility, whether it’s adapting breakfast to your dietary preferences or extending a moment of rest in the garden. The hotel offers a luggage storage service, a reception ready to answer your questions, and multilingual staff to make your stay easier.
The artistic ambiance of Marseille also finds an echo within the Ryad. The hotel regularly hosts temporary exhibitions, showcasing local and international artists. Painters, photographers, sculptors, and storytellers animate this place on occasion, transforming your stay into a unique cultural experience. These events, whether displayed in the garden or common areas, enrich your visit and reflect the city’s creative dynamic.
The Ryad strives to offer a stay experience that combines modern comfort with traditional charm. Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and room service are available in each accommodation, ensuring a level of comfort suited to current standards. For added convenience, public parking is accessible nearby, and public transportation options like the Reformés metro station and Saint-Charles train station are within walking distance, making it easy to get around the city.
The establishment is also a meeting place for travelers in search of serenity and a change of scenery. The tea room is an open space, inviting both residents and visitors to enjoy a break with fragrant tea or Moroccan pastries. Whether you’re with a partner, friends, or solo, this unique setting allows you to relax away from the urban bustle, in a guesthouse atmosphere where hospitality reigns.
For lovers of culture and exploration, the Ryad’s location is ideal. Just a few minutes' walk away, you reach the Vieux-Port and its surroundings, the real nerve center of Marseille’s life. Explore the Marseille History Museum for a fascinating glimpse into the history of this ancient city. Not far from there, the Mucem, Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations, opens its doors with rich and varied exhibitions.
Street art enthusiasts will enjoy a stroll along the Cours Julien, famous for its murals and craft shops. If you want to discover Marseille from another perspective, embark from the port to the Frioul Islands, where hidden coves and crystal-clear waters await you as part of the Calanques National Park.
In the evening, food lovers will be spoiled for choice with nearby restaurants. To taste local cuisine, try a fish restaurant near the Vieux-Port or explore Provençal flavors at a neighborhood bistro. Finally, for a cultural outing, book your seats for a show at the Gymnase Theater or the Marseille Opera, two emblematic institutions close to the hotel.
The Ryad offers you much more than just a place to stay: it is an invitation to discover Marseille differently, at the crossroads of cultures and traditions.
