Beautiful, peaceful, hotel despite being in the centre a d 15 minutes walk from main squares and souks.
Nice big contemporary room with a view of the pools.
Service was superb throughout our stay.
We are and drank in the Lawrence bar, which had a nice vibe snd ambience. They have live music modt evenings from 8.30pm. An ex
High end feel to the hotel, food options are not super friendly for vegetarians or just don't taste good (might not be an issue for others).
Really need to invest in good food to get that final star from me.
Otherwise, very professional, very classy.
Spa / massages were excellent.
Excellent - a must for any stay in Marrakesh ! Hotel and staff are amazing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Me and my husband stayed here for one night. The hotel itself is beautiful, spacious, and very nice. The breakfast was amazing. The only issue was that, for the price you’re paying for a single night, you wouldn’t expect certain problems. The curtain in our bedroom was torn, and the shower’s on/off switch was coming loose. You’d think you wouldn’t encounter issues like these in a five-star hotel
This property was absolutely dreamy. The best service, incredible breakfast, lovely dinner and music. The pools are gorgeous and located in a peaceful area of the city close to so many restaurants.
Nicely located at a quiet neighbourhood and still possible to walk to the city centre. Personnel was very helpful and friendly and the breakfast quite good quality and choice.
Best hotel i have ever stayed. Amazing service and you were made to feel luxury from the checkin to check out.
All staffs friendly and got personalised service. Location is perfect and worth the amount you pay. it made the holiday special
Fantastic hotel near the Old Town of Marrakech. The rooms were huge and well laid out. The staff were friendly and courteous, and the gardens were a delighted. A beautiful hotel.
