Marrakech Hotels in Morocco (7 others)

Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakesh...just the names of these cities stir a hint of spice in the nostrils. Jostling crowds, the piquant tension of debate, space in perpetual motion - the minute you set foot in the country you know you've arrived somewhere very different.

Spend a weekend in a luxury riad in Marrakesh, Fès or Rabat, exorcise your shopping demons in some of the most colourful markets in the world, or indulge in some off-piste desert driving over sugar-soft dunes... And this fantastically varied destination is barely three hours flying time from Europe.

  2. Jnane Tamsna

    Marrakech, Morocco

    Marrakech is a dream; but much as I love the city and its mad, medieval Medina, I prefer to stay in the Palmeraie – the vast and wild palm grove that stands between the city and the Atlas Mountains. The Palmeraie is beautiful and exotic, and it is quiet. This beauty and the quiet are amplified in a place like Jnane Tamsna – it is an oasis in the true sense.

    The gardens surrounding the five villas are extensive with five pools spread throughout. Even better, the interiors are as inspiring as the gardens. Both are a result of the proprietors. He is an acclaimed botanist, she is a renowned decorator and designer. There is a dining room, and it is frequented for breakfast, and in the winter it is augmented for dinner with blazing fireplace but meals are served in surprise places throughout the property.

    It is not a hotel, it is a fabulous collection of villas set in the splendour of one of the most beautiful gardens on southern Morocco.

    • A collection of elegant bungalows set in five hectares of lush palm-studded gardens in the Palmeraie.

    • Exotic bathrooms and a beautifully pared-down décor set the tone for a sophisticated yet understated escape.
    • Jnane Tamsna is run like an aristocratic home. The bar is where you want it to be, and with five hectares of space that leaves lots of options.
    • There is a dining room but the true luxury of Jnane Tamsna is that meals are served in different places throughout the property.

  3. La Sultana Marrakech

    Marrakech, Morocco

    La Sultana is a palace; a small inner city palace known as a riad. It provides a taste of the exotic life that was once lived behind the walls of these intensely private palaces. At La Sultana, the impression created is of an authentic riad, once occupied by a European aristocrat, whose taste had become oriental, but not without dragging the odd antique and painting over from Europe. La Sultana is a fantasy, a luxuriously appointed, beautifully decorated page out of 1001 Arabian Nights.

    Working in partnership with The office for Historic Monuments for three years, La Sultana has created a riad of exceptional beauty, authenticity and luxury, incorporating all the traditional architectural elements that have made the Marrakech Medina so distinctive. Each of the twenty eight rooms are rare and beautiful and sophisticated and although they share a common approach they are all different.

    An aristocrats palace in the heart of the thousand year old Medina.

  4. Riad El Fenn

    Marrakech, Morocco

    Situated within the courtyard walls of one of the city’s largest riads, Riad El Fenn combines an English flair for expat lifestyle with a healthy respect and admiration for Moroccan style and tradition. The secret to El Fenn’s lifestyle is to offer an abundance of spaces to retreat and to call your own: lush gardens and terraces, a snug salon with a fireplace, a roof terrace with day beds, a plunge pool on a private terrace and lots of hidden corners to disappear into.

    When it comes to dining the approach to food is to keep it simple. Emphasis is on fresh produce, delicious ingredients and a purposefully limited choice. At Riad El Fenn they understand that you want to eat well but you do not want to be bombarded with choices and when it’s time to relax with a drink, since Riad El Fenn is more of a home than a hotel, the bar is literally where you want it to be, on the roof, in the courtyard etc.

    A big historically important town house, with three pools, a spa and a private cinema on the inner edge of the Marrakech Medina.
