INSPIRED BY THE OPULENT PALACES OF ANCIENT MOROCCO
Just 10 miles from the medina in Morocco’s ‘Ochre City’, The Oberoi Marrakech delivers a welcome breath of luxury with its exquisite gardens, fine spa and cinematic views of the High Atlas.
Surrounded by 28 acres of Mediterranean gardens, the resort makes its home amidst fragrant citrus trees, centuries old olive groves and soothing water features. Its architects were inspired by the opulent palaces of ancient Morocco, and incorporated many elements of the revered, 500-year-old Islamic college Medersa Ben Youssef. Its rooms, suites and villas are lavish sanctuaries with private terraces and picture windows that frame views of the gardens and snow-capped Atlas Mountains. Deluxe Villas have their own private pools.
With a serene location 20 minutes outside the city centre, the Oberoi still has easy access to Marrakech’s bustling nightlife and traditional souks. When not sampling the city’s street food, guests are invited to dine on fine Moroccan cuisine as well as international specialities at its three restaurants. You’ll also find a terrace bar with superb views, but of all the hotel’s amenities, the 2,000-square-metre Oberoi Spa is the headlining attraction, complete with Turkish hammams and temperature-controlled pools.
