Eleven spice-named rooms around an indoor pool and hammam, with a rooftop café looking out past the medina walls.

Riad Jamaï is a restored Arab-Moresque house in the Andalusia quarter, with eleven air-conditioned rooms each named and themed after a spice. An indoor pool and hammam sit together on site — worth noting the pool is unheated, which matters more outside summer than in it — alongside a rooftop terrace with its own café, bar and library.

The rooftop view is a genuine draw, reaching out past the medina walls to the hills beyond rather than just the usual rooftop jumble. It's a good match for travellers who want the pool-and-hammam combination without paying five-star prices for it.
