Boasting access to the Palma Quad, nearly 25 minutes' walk away, the riad includes a sundeck and various recreational opportunities providing guests with spacious rooms.
The hotel is in the centre of Essaouira, a mere 0.7 km from Galerie D'art Damgaard and within reach of the Essaouira City Walls and Skala. At the Riad Chbanate Essaouira you'll be 950 m from Plage d'Essaouira. Also, Square Orson Welles is situated about a 5-minute ride away. In the vicinity of the property there is the Bab Doukkala.

This Essaouira hotel serves a free continental breakfast. The accommodation has the Moroccan restaurant where guests can sample examples of Moroccan cuisine. A lounge bar is available on site. Serving healthy meals, Vagues Bleues lies steps away from the Riad Chbanate.
Review by hotel critic
Riad Chbanate in Essaouira offers an intriguing juxtaposition of luxury and value, ideal for discerning travelers. Entering through a modest door, the serene courtyard enchants with the soothing sounds of water and soft music. The attentive staff enhances the experience, providing tailored recommendations and exceptional service. Rooms are presented fairly; however, the marketing does mislead, as photographs suggest greater variety than exists. Each room lacks distinct individual detailing, making the pricing feel inflated. Certain amenities, like the impressive breakfast and cozy rooftop terrace, justify some costs, but a reevaluation of the pricing strategy could be wise. While Riad Chbanate has charm and hospitality, prospective guests should weigh its pricing against its offerings carefully to ensure a judicious choice reflecting both comfort and fiscal prudence.
