La Sultana Marrakech, Luxury Moroccan riad in the Kasbah district, Marrakech, Morocco.
La Sultana Marrakech is a boutique hotel within the Kasbah that combines five restored traditional riads with carved cedar ceilings, intricate tile work, and marble fixtures throughout. The property features peaceful courtyards with fountains and rooftop terraces that overlook the medina and distant mountain ranges.
The Kasbah district served as a royal residence from the 12th century onward and originated as a military stronghold of the Almohad dynasty. The area preserves ancient fortifications alongside major landmarks such as the Saadian Tombs and El Badi Palace.
The restored spaces feature handcrafted details like carved plasterwork and ornate woodwork that reflect local artisan traditions, while staff in traditional dress serve mint tea and pastries within the quiet courtyards where daily life unfolds at a slower pace.
The hotel provides personalized concierge service with dedicated smartphones and a spa featuring traditional hammams and cooking classes. The location offers easy access to nearby souks and Jemaa el-Fnaa square while remaining about 15 minutes from Menara Airport.
Each suite carries the name of an African animal with themed decorations such as carved elephant tusks and fireplaces flanked by stone lions. Bathrooms feature rose petals presented on handcrafted silver trays, adding an unexpected touch of luxury to the stay.
