Booked this hotel via Luxury Escapes one week before arrival, and I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff primarily speak French, but do have a good understanding of English. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, and from the minute you walk in you are greeted by fantastic smells, friendly front of house, and then are given some Moroccan tea and biscuits - decor is stunning, with a bar, seating (indoor and outdoor), pool table, and toilets right in the reception. Only thing to be mindful of is they do take an upfront deposit of around £280, but this is refunded at the end (as long as you don’t break anything, which we didn’t.) The hotel cat Atlas is the star of the show. He is really friendly and lovely, so make sure to save a little meat for him when at dinner - he likes the prawns the most! The rooms are spacious, with a bath and shower, A/C, TV, minibar and safe. They have patio doors that lead you right out to the garden which is safe to leave unlocked as you come and go from the pools without having to walk all the way around. They do give you a bottle of red on arrival, but no bottle opener! They are cleaned daily (if you want) and they restock water daily whilst cleaning. Overall really clean and presentable, and also lovely and quiet - perfect for a goodnight sleep. The food. Stunning. Both breakfast, lunch and dinner - whether at the restaurant, pool bar, it is all amazing - and the customer service is above and beyond. Only thing is the menu can get repetitive if you’re staying there and eating there all week. There is a shuttle service provided by the hotel into two locations of Marrakesh. However, we had a bad experience with this - but I know other guests didn’t, so I think it’s a one off. It was 39c and we took the shuttle, that was late, from 1 to the Souks. When dropped off we asked them to confirm the collection as previously agreed of 4, the chap told us no, 7, and left us in the souks for potentially 6 hours in 38c! This set me off in a bit of a panic, and after thirty minutes we just walked into the road and flagged a taxi down. However, as said, everyone else we spoke with had good experiences, so might just be us! There are x2 pools, which we’re relaxing and beautiful. Towels are provided, and there’s ample sun beds - you don’t need to fight to reserve one of these! Also loved when we went there were no children, so really was a relaxing experience. The spa is a must! Honestly, best back massage of my life. You can book in advance, but I just emailed the reception on the day and they booked me for the evening. The ladies here were lovely, but their English wasn’t as strong as elsewhere - but that doesn’t really matter when you’re having a quiet massage. The hotel does offer to support booking activities which is really nice, but personally I found them a little cheaper elsewhere online. However, the cheaper ones I found were a bit chaotic - so I assume their ones are probably a little more… tasteful? :D Overall, would recommend booking here!

Take me back to Marrakech. Take me back to Domaine des Remparts! Everyone deserves a stay here once in their lifetime! We had a week here and it was honestly the most fantastic and relaxing holiday we have ever experienced. We had exceptional service. Big shout put to Shakid (at the bar!) and Jamal (who attended to us so beautifully at breakfast) but in fact everyone at the hotel looked out for us, knew us by name and made our stay really special. The hotel is beautifully designed and the gardens are stunning. The rooms are spacious and well designed and immaculately clean. The entire hotel smells like a spa. Breakfast is so relaxing... being served all of these goodies without having to go to a buffet style table....it makes the hotel stand apart in my opinion. Atlas the hotel cat was also a big hit with our family. Thank you to all at Domaine des Remparts for such a wonderful holiday. It felt like a family affair and we enjoyed our visit so much! We will be back, in fact we are considering bringing the extended family for my Mum's 80th birthday.

“Wonderful haven - stay here and get shuttle in and out of town”

We landed in Marrakesh and needed 48 hours for relaxation in the sunshine before going onto the tourist trail of the medina and beyond.

We landed in Marrakesh and needed 48 hours for relaxation in the sunshine before going onto the tourist trail of the medina and beyond. This hotel is charming, rustic, well staffed and the food is really very good. There is one heated pool but the main one is rather cold, so beware! They have a resident cat called Atlas who is a real star of the show. We enjoyed our trip and would most certainly return for future Marrakesh visits. If you don’t want the hustle and bustle of the medina, this is a great place to stay as they have easy shuttles to take you in and out. I wish we’d stayed here instead of moving to central Riad.
