“Hammam spa over three levels hewn into the rock, heated pool under a zellige vault.”
La Sultana Marrakech occupies a cluster of restored ancient houses on rue de La Kasbah, a two-minute walk from the Saadian tombs. We sleep in twenty-eight bedrooms spread over five floors, polished tadelakt, cedar woodwork, black Taza marble bathrooms. The spa descends over three levels under vaults, steam hammam, heated pool tiled in midnight-blue zellige, treatment cabins with ramparts views. The fifth-floor panoramic terrace opens onto the Koutoubia and snow-capped Atlas until April. The La Table Marocaine restaurant serves palace-riad cuisine, signature tajines, attentive service without being stifling. International clientele in their thirties and up, weekend couples, a few families outside school holidays. From 829 € a night, breakfast included, booking advised three months ahead for bank holidays and year-end festivities ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend La Sultana to travellers seeking a palace riad without the gigantism of Palmeraie resorts. It's an address for couples in their thirties and up, romantic weekends, honeymoons, wellness retreats, travellers accustomed to small luxury structures. Families find their place here outside school holidays, but the atmosphere remains intimate, majority adult clientele.
