Overview

With the soul of a riad but the polish of a boutique hotel, Les Jardins de la Medina blends 19th Century charm with serene luxury in Marrakech’s historic Kasbah quarter. Once a royal residence, the property now offers a peaceful retreat just moments from the city’s colourful buzz. Behind its ochre walls, a handful of rooms wrap around leafy gardens, dappled courtyards and a tranquil pool. Slow down with some poolside lounging or slink away to the spa where the hammam offers restful Moroccan rituals. In the evenings, linger over tagine and local wines on the misted restaurant terrace. The perfect pick for couples and solo sanctuary seekers, Les Jardins de la Medina is a peaceful hideaway with a whisper of old-world ambiance.

Located on a narrow street, the hotel is a mile away from Bahia Palace and Badi Palace, and two miles south of the medina. Jamaa El Fna square and Koutoubia Mosque are just over a mile away. Meanwhile, Jardin Majorelle – or the Yves Saint Laurent Mansion – and Menara gardens are within three and a half miles distance of the hotel. Marrakesh Menara Airport is approximately four miles away.

Step inside beneath a domed ceiling that soars overhead, with an intricate tree-like chandelier casting latticework light. Moroccan details unfold in every direction, with arched doorways, lantern-lined walls and terracotta tiles warming the floors underfoot. Swathes of sage-green soften the spaces, while exposed wood and rattan pieces add an earthy, artisanal touch. Rooms follow suit, setting an elegant scene, with a palette of whites, woods and jewel tones. Sweet, shuttered windows frame the calming views, too. Little luxuries, like pillow scents, capsule coffee machines and thoughtful welcome gifts, come as standard. Most Superior Patio rooms open onto an enclosed patio area with fountains, while Superior Garden rooms are situated beside the private gardens. Les Sultane accommodation overlooks the gardens or has access to a courtyard. For your own private suntrap, choose a Solarium room, with access to a rooftop terrace via a small flight of stairs. All offer a Sun Basket in the room, with charming sun hats and bold turquoise pool towels.

Other facilities

In the heart of the hotel, a pale-blue pool shimmers beneath the sun. Its shallow entrance and wide steps invite long, unhurried dips. It’s surrounded by sun loungers topped with matching blue towels and shaded by towering palms – which line the tropical gardens beyond. Wander the walkways and you’ll spot olive and bitter orange trees, too, a favourite perch for local birds. On the ground floor, gardens are spotted with tiled courtyards and flowing fountains. Up on the rooftop, a partly shaded terrace offers a sanctuary of plush sofas, loungers and skyline views from the shade of a curtain-cornered, painted pergola.

The spa on the second floor, promises pampering treatments for the face and body, plus an in-house barber. For a deeper reset, the four-day Marrakchie Discovery package layers hammams, black-soap scrubs, ghassoul body masks, and argan- and verbena-infused face masks with personalised massages and nourishing hand and feet rituals using soothing sea salts and essential oils.

A covered, open-air fitness area completes the hotel’s wellness facilities, with cardio equipment and free weights. Set beneath billowing curtains for shade in the sunshine, it overlooks the gardens and main pool.

Dining information

Open all day, the hotel’s restaurant transforms into a bar during the evening. It’s found in the former reception room of the riad, under carved cedar ceilings, opening out to the garden and pool terrace. Start your day with an indoor and outdoor buffet, followed by a delicious light lunch served in the centuries-old garden – now shaded and lightly misted to keep things cool. In the evenings, the menu shifts to something more seasonal, with tagines and herb-crusted lamb from the Atlas Mountains, paired with fine French and Moroccan wines. On Thursdays, you’ll find live music to accompany your dinner, and a magician brings a little theatre to dinner on ‘Magic Sundays.’

Poolside, a casual bar nook with tall stools invites you to linger over signature sips in the afternoon sunshine.

Additional information

Please note that there is one lift on site, which only provides access to the Solarium rooms and the spa on the second floor.
