Selman Marrakech

Selman Marrakech sits about five kilometres southwest of the Medina off the Route d'Amizmiz, on the city's edge with the Snow-capped Atlas Mountains visible from most rooms, meaning a taxi or hotel transfer is needed for Medina visits. Designed by Jacques Garcia as a modern Moorish palace of white stone and dark wood, the property is best known for its stables of around 25 purebred Arabian horses, which guests can watch during daily exercise displays. Rooms run from Superior and Deluxe categories to Suites and Pool Suites, most with views over the gardens or the horse paddocks and the mountains beyond. The main restaurant serves Moroccan and Mediterranean dishes on a terrace overlooking the infinity pool, with a separate bar for evening drinks. Wellness is centered on the Chenot Spa, one of only a handful of Chenot-branded spas worldwide, offering detox and longevity treatment programs alongside a hammam, and the resort also has a large infinity pool, tennis courts, and a fitness center. Service is geared toward a quiet, resort-style stay with airport transfers and a spa-focused concierge, better suited to travelers prioritizing wellness and grounds over Medina proximity. Rooms are finished in dark wood and warm stone tones consistent with the Jacques Garcia design, and most categories include a private terrace or balcony overlooking either the gardens, the horse paddocks, or the Atlas Mountains, giving the resort a consistent sense of openness rare in the denser Medina hotels closer to the city center.
