Breathtaking Views and Local Delights: Exploring the Medina from La Sultana's Ideal Location
La Sultana provides guests with a prime location in close proximity to the historic Saadian Tombs, where they can bask in the breathtaking views from the hotel's terrace. Its ideal location also makes it the perfect starting point to explore the vibrant and colourful streets of the Medina, where visitors can immerse themselves in the authentic Moroccan culture and discover local markets, shops, and restaurants serving delicious Moroccan cuisine.
The captivating history of La Sultana: from a former palace worker's gift to a luxurious boutique hotel
The captivating history of La Sultana is as fascinating as the hotel itself. Originally owned by a former palace worker, Caid Azzi Boujemaa, the property was gifted to him as a symbol of appreciation for his loyalty and dedication to the dynasty. During the French protectorate, his son embarked on a restoration project that involved restoring many of the building's original features. The address soon became synonymous with lavish social events and parties, attracting the city's high society.
Fast forward to 2001, in partnership with the esteemed Historical Monuments Organisation, La Sultana was revived and transformed into the epitome of luxury and comfort it is today. The hotel's meticulous restoration retained its original grandeur while seamlessly incorporating modern amenities that provide guests with an unforgettable experience. The fusion of traditional Moroccan architecture and contemporary design elements, infused with intricate details and exceptional craftsmanship, creates an immersive ambiance that transports guests to a world of opulence and relaxation.
Uncover the magic of thematic rooms and suites in traditional Moroccan riads
La Sultana boasts 28 individually designed rooms and suites spread across five adjoining riads. These traditional Moroccan houses, featuring a central patio and inward-facing windows, were originally designed to accommodate whole families and create an intimate connection with the outdoors through their terraces. Each of the rooms and suites at La Sultana is thematically designed, catering to a wide range of tastes. The interiors feature high vaulted ceilings, marble columns, precious woods, copper finishes, and numerous other luxurious and delicate details, creating a sophisticated and elegant ambiance.
One of the hotel's standout features is the African floor, where each room is named after an African element and incorporates subtle or not-so-subtle details of the corresponding animal. The 1000-square-foot Exclusive Suite, aptly named "The Lion," is the crown jewel of this floor, featuring a separate living room, fireplace, desk, two bathrooms, and a private terrace. This magnificent room provides guests with an unparalleled and exclusive experience fit for royalty, exuding an unforgettable regal ambiance and grandeur. From the lavish furnishings to the intricate details, every aspect of this room is designed to make guests feel like they are staying in their own private palace.
As you venture behind a few doors on the main floor, you will discover one of the most breathtaking spas that we have ever laid eyes on, transporting you back in time to a realm somewhere between a Roman spa and a dreamy, oriental oasis. The Moroccan culture has long been steeped in a love for treatments and the promise of eternal beauty, and this can be experienced firsthand through the traditional hammam - a cherished tradition in Moroccan culture - allowing you to exfoliate your skin to perfection. Our personal favorite is to start with the invigorating hammam treatment and end with a blissful body massage, leaving you feeling light and rejuvenated with radiant, supple skin. This authentic self-care experience promises a sense of tranquility and calmness that is simply unmatched.
Escape to the upper terraces and discover a world of wellness that transcends the physical. Indulge in a variety of activities, including Pilates, gym sessions, and yoga, all of which serve to improve balance and foster a deeper connection with your inner self through conscious breathing and natural concentration. For those seeking a tailored experience, a personal coach is on hand to offer bespoke advice and services, ensuring your stay is nothing short of perfection.
