This hotel was great! An oasis of luxury and serenity away from the madness of the medina. Taxis only 20dh to the hubbub of the djema del fin. Use the conceige yousef- he knows just about everything there is to know about everything. Staff extremely attentive. Rooms immaculate. Poolside clean and despite being near a road quiet and secluded. Only 10 minutes from airport. Restaurant a wee bit pricey, food ok, but use the lonely planet guide for eating in town. Would come back for a short trip!

We found this hotel to be more than adequate for our 3 day trip to Marrakech. Grounds are nice, service is good -- and with an upgraded room we had plenty of space. Yousef, the concierge, was extremely helpful in giving advice and making bookings. One complaint -- the breakfast buffet was hectic and not very good. SPGers - choose points as your amenity.

We have been to the Le Meridien several times and on each occasion have enjoyed the experience of being located in the Hivernage area of the city . Both the common areas of the hotel and the rooms and a little worn; on our most recent visit we stayed 4 nights and upgraded to the Starwood executive floor overlooking the pool and were happy with the room with the exception of the aircon which was a total failure so we arranged for a fan to be brought in to keep us cool (even though it was only early March). Youseff, the legendary concierge, was perfect in every respect and they have a real gem with this long serving gent. Breakfasts are good with plenty of choice for every taste. Pool is very well kept and loungers are comfortable. Poolside restaurant is very good as well. Very well kept gardens with a great array of plants. The key aspect which we liked, is that the hotel is situated outside the mad hustle and bustle of the medina but still close enough to enjoy without feeling remote from the activities plus we liked the space afforded by the hotel grounds where we could relax after our sightseeing trips.

Ok the hotel is set in very pretty gardens with a lovely pool area.The staff are good efficient and attentive. The food in the hotel is acceptable.We stayed in early March for a few days.
Be aware the historical temperature information can be misleading. When the sun shines it is lovely as in a warm spring UK day.However when the sun goes or in the evening the wind from the nearby Atlas mountains is very cold (bracing).So if you are visiting here during this time pack some extra warm clothing coats and jeans etc just in case. If the sun stays out all day great but if not you will need them great, but without the sun you will thank us for this advice.
We hired a guide from outside the hotel to give us a 3 hour tour around the Souk. He charged 200drms plus 20drms each way for the taxi there and back. We actually walked around for 5 hours. He showed us all the sights there many we would not have found alone. He also took us via several establishments were we had "demonstrations of goods" (sales pitches). But all in all he was worth the money which was still the 200drms plus a tip at your discretion of course .
