Elegant palatial-style hotel in Marrakech
Built in the style of a classic Moorish palace, this hotel combines superb amenities, top class hospitality and a fabulous location within easy walking distance of Marrakech’s must-see landmarks. Beautifully landscaped gardens, carved ceilings, traditional mosaics and elegant artwork create a warm, inviting ambience and authentic sense of character throughout.
Jemaa el-Fnaa, the bustling central square in the historic medina, is just a 15-minute walk away, passing by the majestic Koutoubia Mosque en route. Before you know it, you can be wandering through the soaks and absorbing the array of captivating sights, smells and tastes that Marrakech has to offer.
Back at the hotel, you can cool off in any of four swimming pools (three outdoor, one indoor), unwind at the spa, or make the most of the fully-equipped fitness centre.
A lavish buffet awaits at Le Jardin, while So Lounge, L’Orangerie and L’Oasis each offer delicious à la carte dishes inspired by French and Moroccan cuisine. Of course, you’ll also find a dizzying choice of bars and restaurants in the city centre if you’d prefer to head out for food and drinks.
The comfortable, spacious and elegant rooms also feature traditional Moroccan decor, with views of either the hotel’s gardens, the pools, the city or even out towards the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains on the horizon.

Find out more about Marrakech City
The beating heart of the city is the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which is a maze of narrow alleyways lined with traditional souks. Here, artisans display their crafts, from ornate lanterns and rugs to handmade jewellery and delicate perfumes. The sounds of haggling and the rhythms of Berber drums mingle with the distant call to prayer, providing a lively soundtrack for this bustling marketplace.
Jemaa el-Fna Square, the medina's epicentre, transforms as the day progresses. By day, street performers and henna tattoo artists enthral visitors, while at night, the square becomes an open-air theatre, alive with storytellers, musicians, and stalls serving fresh food.
If you’re a connoisseur of cuisine, you’ll be delighted with traditional Moroccan dishes, like slow-cooked lamb tagine, sweet pastilla, and almond ghriba cookies, which are best washed down with steaming mint tea. Or, for gourmands, there are the trendy eateries and cocktail terraces of the more modern Ville Nouvelle.
Beyond the medina, Marrakech offers tranquil gardens like Jardin Majorelle, an oasis of calm with its iconic cobalt blue structures and lush plant life, while palatial hotels and boutique riads with palm-fringed pools and shaded courtyards offer respite from the city's hustle.
