Five star families and those who like things regal.
An unassuming entrance just inside Marrakech's Medina walls leads through to La Sultana, an impressive Riad right in the city centre.
A feast for the senses, each of La Sultana's 21 sumptuous rooms and suites are filled with ornate antiques, classical artwork, gorgeous beds and fireplaces. Paved with gold, the bathrooms resemble Roman temples.
Breakfasts, lunch and dinners are served al fresco, or inside during the winter months. The Moroccan chef serves a delightful mix of Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine. From the rooftop terraces, guests can enjoy dazzling 360º views of the imperial city of Marrakech. La Sultana also has a large pool, ideal after an afternoon in the souks, an arabesque spa and vaulted hammam.
Shop the souks, wander the labryinth of cobbled streets, visit the Saadian Tombs next door or simply laze on a sunlounger on the gorgeous roof terrace.
Rather than battling it out in the souks alone, ask for a guide who will take you to the best shopping areas and will help you bargain down prices. Ask a travel expert for more details.
