The incredibly opulent Palais Aziza and Spa is one of the most stunning hotels in our collection of traditional riads, boutique hotels and villas in Marrakech. Just a short drive from the hectic and exciting ancient Medina of the old city, this is a truly stunning, palatial hotel, an idyllic oasis to escape home to after exploring this fascinating city.

Set in 5 acres of tranquil and well-tended gardens, this lavish hotel has a fabulous restaurant and a Spa, you could easily spend a few days here without even dipping into the bustling Medina.

With just 28 rooms, suites, private pavilions and even private villas, nestled in their own gardens away from the main hotel, this is a wonderful choice for a romantic break away, or a family get-together – in ultimate luxury. Each room is designed in a contemporary Moroccan style and furnished to the highest of standards, fine Egyptian cotton bedding and bathrobes, a pillow menu, flat screen TV’s, Bose Ipod docking stations, mini-bar and of course complimentary WiFi access throughout the whole hotel. All room types have a beautiful en-suite bathroom with either shower or whirlpool bathtub, and the Junior Suites benefit from both, as well as a spacious living area. All rooms have a private balcony or terrace, and the larger pavilions and villas are set in their own pretty gardens and are ideal for families.

Aside from the vast swimming pool which dominates the entrance to the hotel, the Palais Aziza boasts a gorgeous Spa with a traditional Moroccan hammam, and 4 treatment rooms, including the romantic Spa Suite for couples wishing to enjoy pampering treatments together, there is also a small cardio gym and sauna.

Dining here is a real treat, Maroliano is a fine dining restaurant which serves exquisite Italian and traditional Moroccan dishes with the freshest ingredients and is open in the evenings, guests can choose to dine al fresco or in the indoor restaurant, lighter lunches can be enjoyed at La Pergola, and the Citrus Bar serves delicious cocktails by the pool, or in cooler months by the cosy fireplace in the Mosaic Bar & Lounge.

If you can bear to leave this beautiful retreat, the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service twice a day into the bustling Medina, just waiting to be explored.
