La Sultana

Hidden down a backstreet in a quiet nook of the Kasbah, this labyrinthine hotel consists of 5 co-joined riads. The main building is distinctive by its exposed brickwork while each riad has its own unique signature style, creating a different atmosphere, from Riad Sheherazade with its intricate plasterwork, carved woodwork and zellij tiling and colourful Riad Saadia to the entirely white marble and stucco Riad Sabaa. Breakfast and dinner are served in the leafy courtyard next to the pool while guests can enjoy mint tea and sunset cocktails on the generous rooftop terrace. It will appeal to those who appreciate the perks of a large, elegant yet lowkey hotel with space for privacy, attentive service, spa, restaurant etc, yet is well situated in a vibrant neighbourhood, outside the hub of the medina. Being close to the royal palaces and museum, the area is very safe and clean.
