Deceptively large Moroccan houses, beautifully refurbished using locally made furniture and decorations, usually owned by French expats and local families. A great alternative to corporate/chain hotels. I can recommend Riad Chorfa in Marrakech (www.riadchorfa.com) and Dar Sultan in Tangier (www.darsultan.com).
Riads available in Marrakech, Fes and Essaouira. Visit www.riadsmorocco.com to book
Updates
www.terremaroc.com also has a good selection of riads and other accommodation, from simple to seriously luxurious, in Marrakesh and all over Morocco. You email the riad owners directly through the site so prices are very good.
