In the leafy Gueliz area of Marrakech, yet only 15 minutes’ walk from the Koutoubia, this 1950s built hotel has long been a firm favourite with English and French guests. Although the main hotel is a little dated, the Es Saadi retains a high proportion of repeat clientele who enjoy the friendly service. The highly recommended Palace wing boasts 92 suites and a number of private villas set in the extensive gardens, around a large outdoor swimming pool. The smart ‘Cour des Lions’ on the rooftop serves classic local specialities with views across the city. The Palace is also home to a Venetian trattoria focusing on fresh seafood and a café serving light meals from ingredients produced on the family farm in the Ourika foothills. The full spa houses a large indoor swimming pool. In the grounds there is a casino and a stylish nightclub, both of which are served by an entirely separate driveway. Prices based on Palace junior suite.
