"What sets Riad Tarabel apart from other similar properties is twofold: its sheer grandeur and its aristocratic French Colonial style. Perhaps most striking about its interiors is the absence of North African kitsch. Instead, the design relies on the inherent charm of a courtyard mansion in the heart of the medina to establish a strong sense of place. The overwhelming impression here is one of pure elegance—Second Empire furnishings set a refined tone, complemented by freestanding Victorian bathtubs." - Tablet Hotels
