IZZA, the most recent luxury hotel to open in the heart of Marrakech’s Medina. The property is a tribute to the late American socialite designer Bill Willis and presents fourteen exquisitely designed rooms (one with a feature alternate tread/witches’ staircase and kitchenette) which are set across seven interconnecting riads. A labyrinth of corridors leads to serene courtyards and plunge pools, a tranquil tearoom, a relaxing wellness spa, a composed library, and a rooftop terrace and restaurant presenting stunning views across the city. Owned by tech company Neon Adventures, IZZA integrates classic Marrakech aesthetics with contemporary art, thanks to its 300+ artwork collection costing £5 million. The hotel is a splendid fusion of contrasts; offering a blend of solitude and social spaces, vintage and modern furnishings, and a focus on local traditions and digital innovation, IZZA stands as a captivating retreat for those looking to explore the magic of Marrakech while enjoying exclusive events, cultural connections, and rejuvenation of mind, body, and soul – all bookings also include a complimentary 45 spa or hammam treatment.

A luxurious romantic hideaway within a walled medina of Marrakech, La Sultana is moments away from the royal palaces, museums and souks of this magical city. This is a small, luxury hotel that knows how to spoil its guests, especially in the spa. From almonds to dates, prickly pears to Damask roses, the alchemist-like therapists make the most of Morocco’s natural treasures. There’s a Jacuzzi, two hammams and a sauna here too – not to mention candlelit pools. Each of La Sultana’s evocatively named Riad houses retains its own identity but shares attention to outstanding craftsmanship that is a celebration of Moroccan artisan creativity. Think intricately carved cedar wood ceilings and beams, ornamental plasterwork, striking tiles and extravagant lamps – but without the pastiche or cliché of themed interiors.

Set beside the lagoon and backing onto the seafront, La Sultana is an opulent five-star hotel. The charming traditional stone building is reminiscent of a kasbah and sets the scene for a chic family-friendly resort. Its 12 rooms are decorated in a natural palette that echoes the sandy and aquamarine colours seen on Oualidia’s coast and the spa has a gleaming glass roof. Outside, a protected reserve provides up-close bird watching opportunities, while the adjacent water enables watersports and sailing excursions. There’s a barefoot feel here – guests can eat oysters on the jetty and the restaurant has an aquarium wall (unsurprisingly fish is a speciality here).

Having launched in the mid-twentieth century, this 229 bedroom hotel was taken over and redeveloped by the Sofitel chain in 2009 – its stunning 16 acres of gardens are its namesake. The city’s Moroccan and French heritage is reflected in the plush styling. More a resort than a hotel, it has three restaurants, two bars, two palm-flanked outdoor pools, one indoor pool, designer boutiques, a designer spa with a hammam, sauna and hot tub, a yoga and pilates studio and a Technogym. Families are well catered for, with a kids’ club, special menus, welcome gifts and a children’s spa menu.
