Nestled in the heart of the Kasbah, La Sultana Marrakech is the perfect example of spectacular Moroccan architecture. Patios expertly shaped by master craftsmen, mastery of ocher color, Marrakech-style gardens and rooftops with city views, central location, within the perimeter of the Medina listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and close to the Royal Palace!
The choice of La Sultana Marrakech was also special for its location, an oasis of tranquility in the middle of vibrant Marrakech, but at the same time 10 minutes (on foot) from the famous Djemma El-Fnaa Square, the center of action and hustle and bustle in Marrakech.
Yes, here we are welcomed like at home, the promise of a memorable stay quickly turns into reality, the suites are simply spectacular, no two are the same and they are themed, but what immediately captivates us are the internal courtyards highlighted by which houses the swimming pool, a work of art worthy of the 1001 Nights movie!
To stay
28 suites, all surprising, generous in size and very comfortable. We stayed in the Zebra Suite, a kind of “honeymoon suite” with a theme between Arabic/Moroccan and Central Africa, with the highlight being its balcony overlooking the pool patio and a huge round bathtub right in the center of the bathroom! All suites feature pieces of art and exclusivity, an ode of good taste that infects us and makes us want to know more about this magical culture.
Gastronomy and hospitality
We arrived around lunch time and were treated to a table by the pool, in the courtyard that makes even the most distracted travelers dream. The cuisine, like everything at La Sultana Marrakech, was surprising, the best of traditional Moroccan cuisine with an international twist and an impeccable presentation, we could say that the perfect atmosphere conditioned our evaluation, but yes, the cuisine is truly excellent and highly recommended! A special note for the host, an expert in the art of welcoming, in-depth knowledge of Moroccan cultural and gastronomic heritage, this is what we look for when we travel, knowledge and that touch of originality that can only be transmitted by locals, simply excellent!
THE SPA
The promise of eternal beauty and a culture passionate about treatments have been anchored in the Moroccan way of life for thousands of years. At La Sultana, natural cosmetics illustrate a philosophy rooted in simplicity and authenticity. The traditions of hammam and massage, plants and essential oils, treatments inspired by the heritage of the Mediterranean, offer a unique concentrate of preventive healthcare and natural benefits. A Spa that has Roman inspiration and Moroccan care, another unmissable experience at La Sultana Marrakech. On the rooftop we can enjoy activities such as pilates, gymnastics and yoga, always under the supervision of a personal coach.
Final notes
If you are looking for that special, almost secret place that houses the best of local culture, gastronomy and a spectacular location, La Sultana Marrakech has to be your choice, simply spectacular!
