An Ode to Marrakech, the soulful Beauty of La Sultana

This hidden gem, will capture you with its timeless beauty, authentic soul, and inviting atmosphere.

Everything at La Sultana tells the tale of Morocco, whether embedded in the architectural details, the hospitality, the cuisine, or the Argan-infused spa.

Primely located inside the royal quarter of the Kasbah in the Medina—in the ‘golden triangle' between the Royal Palace and the Saadian Tombs—La Sultana consists of five blissfully quiet riads encompassing 28 rooms, all of them enriched by artworks and decorated in a different style signifying various historical periods.

A riad is a traditional Moroccan house with a central patio and all the windows overlooking the interior rather than the outdoor as in European houses. It is therefore advised for people who seek luminosity to book the deluxe suites with private balconies.

The pale pink Riad Scheherazade features intricate stucco work and fine zellij tiling typical of the Saadian era. Set around a large pool, the brick-lined Riad Almohad evokes the royal granary that once stood here when the Almohad Dynasty ruled. Jewel-colored Riad Saadia is clad in carved cedarwood, while Riad Sabaa is a vision of all-white stucco and marble set around a large whirlpool bath.

The cuisine at La Sultana is crafted in rhythm with the seasons. The two on-site restaurants serve only local produce, with “100% Botanical” options for those who prefer plant-based meals, and ethically sourced meat and fish for those who enjoy a more traditional diet. Whether you choose to dine in the lantern-lit courtyard with the pool or the rooftop restaurant overlooking the Saadian Tombs, the experience will be both intimate and magical.

La Sultana Marrakech's award-winning spa is a secret hideaway where you can enjoy individually tailored, traditional Moroccan treatments, including the famous Royal Hammam, which uses black soap made from pressed olives. If you are keen on a sensory immersion and reasserting your inner compass, there are few destinations more enticing than Marrakech and few places more captivating than this boutique retreat.
