City centre oasis
You really couldn’t pick a better spot in Marrakech city than the one Les Jardins de la Koutoubia has managed to snag. Rubbing shoulders with the 13th century Riad Ouarzazi, the hotel is just a stone’s throw from Jemaa el-Fnaa and 10 minutes’ walk from the Medina. You’ll be right in the heart of the action – but with all the perks of a five-star stay.
Between the lush greenery draped over the sandy-toned walls and the serene, plant-speckled patios, the setting here feels tailor-made for relaxing – an oasis amidst the hustle and bustle happening outside the courtyard walls. And the outdoor pool comes with a slew of luxe sun loungers and a poolside snack bar – perfect for an afternoon spent soaking up the sun.
The serenity doesn’t stop there, either. Inside you’ll find a sumptuous spa, with Turkish baths, an indoor pool with Jacuzzi, and a relaxation area where you can unwind with a cup of freshly brewed herbal tea. The likes of body scrubs, wraps, and hot oil massages are on offer here, too, so why not pamper yourself?
Three restaurants mean you’ll be well-fed during your stay. The Moroccan restaurant deals in authentic eats served in atmospheric surroundings, complete with music and belly dancing as the evening unfolds. An Indian place is open for lunch and dinner, while a grill and seafood spot has set up shop on the patio for an al fresco experience.
Fancy a tipple? Choose between the swish rooftop bar – with sweeping city views – and the sophisticated piano bar where you can grab an intimate cocktail while the resident pianist provides a low-key soundtrack to wind down the evening.
