Chefchaouen's riads offer an authentic Moroccan stay in the heart of the blue-washed medina. These traditional guesthouses focus on interior courtyards, rooftop terraces, and personalized service. Most are within a 10-minute walk of the Kasba and Outa El Hammam Square, making them ideal for central access. Budget for mid-range to premium options: rates start around $70-$130 per night for a double room, with higher-end properties like Lina Ryad & Spa (Superb rating, 91/100) including a full spa, indoor pool, and hammam.
Top-rated options include Lina Ryad & Spa, which provides air-conditioned suites with mountain views, free Wi-Fi, and a continental breakfast. Palacio Del Sol (also Superb, 91/100) offers a 24-hour front desk, fast free Wi-Fi (206 Mbps), and a shared kitchen. Riad Gharnata (Fabulous, 85/100) is a central choice without extra frills. Look for riads with rooftop access for medina views, and book in advance during peak spring and fall seasons. Most properties include airport shuttle service and bicycle storage.
