Not to be missed in the medina is the stunning luxury hotel La Sultana. Visit this place for their enchanting spa, the luxurious suites and the beautifully designed, marble-clad bathrooms that are just as impressive as the spa itself. La Sultana also boasts several picture-perfect swimming pools and a vast rooftop terrace called Bahia, home to the restaurant La Table du Souk. Enjoy some of the amazing traditional Moroccan dishes while you sink deep into the green woven cushions. Like tajine prepared with vegetables from La Sultana’s own gardens at the lagoon of Oualidia, where a second La Sultana hotel is also located. In fact all dishes are made using as many local ingredients as possible: saffron from Taliouine, salt from Zerradoune, cumin from Alnif and argan oil from Souss.
The enormous rooftop terrace spans an impressive 2,000 square metres and offers plenty of sheltered seating areas, spectacular views over the city, and even the opportunity to book a Moroccan cooking class. The beautiful patios of La Sultana are handcrafted by local artisans. Despite feeling like a true oasis of calm, you can step outside and find yourself wandering the old, winding streets of the medina again within minutes. The hotel is also ideally located close to several historical highlights, including the Royal Palace, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and, of course, the Medina itself (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
Fancy staying here? La Sultana has 28 rooms and suites, each with its own unique style.
