UPDATE: This picture is actually of the Hotel Riad Bab Firdaus. We apologize for the mistake, but still this Flickr photo is better than the ones on the hotel web site.

This is the Hotel Riad Zina in Morocco, all lit up. Actually, this Flickr photo is better than any of the ones on the hotel web site. We can't really understand why some hotels use such lifeless photos of their rooms and public areas on their web sites. True, you don't want to show hotel flaws--bad lighting, bland decor, flowered comforters--but photos that are very old or very staged are not informative or appealing.

Warning: The site also uses some loud Moroccan music on its home page so be sure to turn down your volume.

    Wrong Riad

    Thanks for posting the link to my photostream, and saying such nice things about the photo but in fact it isn't Zina - this is the very lovely Riad Bab Firdaus.  

    I know, I stayed there in February.

    More photos of the Riad can be seen here.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/hindolbittern/sets/72057594069513458/
