Sofitel Marrakech Lounge and Spa

Sofitel Marrakech Lounge and Spa (also marketed as Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa) sits on Rue Haroun Errachid in Hivernage, just outside the Medina walls and a short walk from the Koutoubia Mosque. The hotel is built around contemporary interpretations of Moroccan design, pairing zellige tilework and carved plasterwork with a more modern lounge-bar aesthetic than the area's traditional riads. Accommodation runs from Superior and Luxury Rooms through Junior Suites to Prestige Suites, most with balconies overlooking the gardens or pool. Dining covers several restaurants and bars, including a lobby lounge that gives the property its name, alongside poolside food and drink service. The spa offers a full menu of treatments and a traditional hammam, supported by a fitness centre for guests keeping to a workout routine while traveling. Outdoor space is centered on a landscaped garden and pool area that functions as the social hub of the hotel by day. A concierge desk assists with Medina excursions, golf bookings and airport transfers, and valet parking is available for guests arriving by car, making the property a practical base for both leisure travelers and business guests attending events at the nearby Palais des Congrès.
