What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The accommodations are classic in their architecture and subtly contemporary in their décor; the look is stylish, influenced by Marrakech’s romantic past but far from old-fashioned.
“The true delight of this hotel is the concept that its indoor existence is also gloriously outdoor; the never ending labyrinthine gardens, palms, orange trees, scented flowers, small canals, fountains, and lily ponds are littered with lounging beds.”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Walled estates and shady palm groves surround the property, with the medina's crowded souks a fifteen-minute drive away.
The rooms
Rooms have open stone fireplaces and bejmat tile floors, while suites add hand-carved wooden frescoes above the beds.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The main garden pool stays heated to 28 degrees year-round, set beneath palm trees and white parasols.
The spa
The hammam sits under vaulted terracotta arches and star skylights. Massages use cold-pressed argan oil and Atlas Mountain herbs.
Restaurant
La Pergola
Vine-draped pergolas shade outdoor tables by the swimming pool, where lunch menus focus on fresh pasta.
At the table
Salammbô serves dinner beneath brick vaults and chandeliers, using herbs and vegetables picked from the on-site garden.
How it began
The property was planned in the 1990s as an enclave of private residences, then converted into a guesthouse in 1998.
