Riad La Perle Rouge has nine room types, from 15 m² doubles up to a 35 m² Suite with Terrace. What they share is the same core kit — air conditioning, soundproofing, a patio, a flat-screen TV with satellite and streaming channels, and a private bathroom with a shower, free toiletries and a hair dryer. What separates them is size, sleeping capacity and layout: doubles and twins for two, quadruple and family rooms that sleep four, and a suite with its own living area and terrace. Every room looks onto the inner courtyard. Bed configurations are listed on each card below.

Riad La Perle Rouge stands at 80 Derb El Mnabha, in the Kasbah quarter on the southern side of Marrakech's medina, the district of the Royal Palace. The nearest airport is Marrakech-Menara Airport, about 4 km away and roughly a six-minute drive. Marrakesh train station is around 3.6 km to the north-west, with services to Casablanca and beyond. Because the property sits inside the medina, the last stretch is along narrow, largely pedestrian lanes, so a taxi will usually set you down at the edge of the quarter for a short walk to the door; the reception can explain the route and help arrange transfers.
The Kasbah is one of the most rewarding corners of Marrakech to stay in: the Saadian Tombs, the sixteenth-century royal necropolis, are about a five-minute walk away, and the Kasbah Mosque — Moulay El Yazid, the "mosque with golden apples" — stands close by. El Badi Palace, the ruined sixteenth-century palace, is roughly 500 m off, and the Bahia Palace and its gardens are about a ten-minute walk. The Koutoubia, the city's largest mosque and its landmark minaret, is around 1.3 km away, and the great square of Djemaa El Fna, a UNESCO-listed hub of storytellers, musicians and food stalls, is about a ten-minute walk to the north. The quarter itself is quiet and authentic, with traditional shops and, famously, its resident storks.
