Riad
Blue Berber has typical Moroccan style architecture and originally, before that,
it was a home to a member of parliament for some years. The building is over
150 years old. It’s a very typical large 6 roomed establishment with communal
space.
We
understand and respect the Moroccan law when it comes to restoring an ancient
building and by restoring our riad, we kept the original vision of Moroccan
architecture in keeping with Marrakesh medina’s rich history.
While
the renovation was taking place, our aim was to use natural Moroccan products
and materials. The guest house bathrooms are made of “Tadalakt” that was used
in Hammams in old days before tiles or marble..
We
had to use traditional skilled builders, artisans and local natural materials.
The riad walls are 60-70 cm thick, great stuff for isolation. In summer time
it’s really cool .In winter it’s nice and cozy too.
Here
at Blue Berber riad/guest house we aim to stay green. So this is why we stick
to the natural products we use and the organic food we eat.
