From the second that you arrive outside the Sofitel Marrakech, you know you have made the right choice. Smooth marble steps and a luxurious fountain pave the way to a world of extravagance. Smooth blends of peach and cream and large bronze, traditional-themed statues welcome you in towards the reception. Walk upon the shimmering marble floors or relax on the beckoning, exquisite velvet sofas in this unparalleled hotel, a part of the renowned Sofitel Chain.
Take in the hot sun, and be relaxed by the sounds of trickling water and scents of the amethyst blooms that adorn the arches above the terrace. Commanding plams and blooming orange trees dominate the verdant gardens which encapsulate the swimming pool and terrace with cozy, cushioned sun loungers - a tranquil place to nurture that healthy tan. Treat your tastebuds with breakfast at the gorgeous Le Palmier, or outside on the sun terrace. Later in the day head over to the beautifully-furnished L'Orangerie for some delicious gourmet cuisine, and later on in the evening head over to the Le Lawrence piano bar where blues and jazz rhythms fill the air as you sip cocktails and eat olives.
For something a bit more private, you are still spoilt for choice from the numerous candle-lit alcoves around the hotel where you can enjoy a drink and a chat in peace. Naturally, the bedrooms are the epitome of opulence. A pastiche of red and amber, with a top-notch level of maintenance, the rooms all have their individual balconies looking out across either the pool, gardens, or the snow-capped peaks of the imposing Atlas mountains. Follow the Moorish arches to the revitalising spa, a haven of tranquility, for a spot of indulgence. If you fell ready for a spot of action then the city's vibrant core, Jemaa El Fna, is only five minutes distant by taxi.
