Rialto Score 9+

Rialto is a Virtuoso agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

Rule the kasbah at La Sultana Marrakech. Set within the city’s UNESCO-designated walled medina, this exotic hotel comprises five adjoining riads (traditional houses) complete with courtyards, fountains and luxuriant gardens, all centered around a heated turquoise pool. Follow the earthy scent of argan to the massive, pink-marbled spa; high-vaulted ceilings add a lofty touch to 28 dramatic, uniquely detailed rooms and suites. Wander the maze of souks outside, then soak it all in over lunch on the leafy rooftop terrace.

About La Sultana Marrakech

Insider tip

Browse the local food market before gleaning culinary secrets from the hotel’s chef in its rooftop cooking school. Reserve a private visit to Villa Oasis, home of legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent

In the hotel’s own words

Tucked away at the heart of the Kasbah, La Sultana Marrakech is, in itself alone, a Moroccan adventure. With its patios expertly sculpted by master-craftsmen, its gardens and rooftops overlooking the city, it is close to the historic sites of the Saadian Tombs, the Royal Palace, the Bahia Palace, within the perimeter of the Medina listed in UNESCO's World Heritage.

The Sultana Marrakech offers 28 rooms and suites, all different, with decor enriched by artworks and collections of art, luxuriant gardens at the heart of the Kasbah, a heated pool, a roof-terrace of 2,000 sq. metres overlooking treasures of architecture, a spa and its treatment rooms, two restaurants, a cocktail and "mezze" bar, a gym, and a terrace dedicated to cookery classes.

The promise of an unforgettable stay, backed by the Moulay El Yazid Mosque, just a 10-minute walk to the famous Djemaa El-Fnaa Square, the inner heart of La Sultana beats to the vibrant rhythm of Marrakech.

Hidden from view and protecting its secrets, La Sultana unfurls panoramic views, vast and awe-inspiring, from the souks close by to distant landscapes in the Atlas mountains.

The hotel's Conciergerie is the starting-point for sensory immersion. An exercise for your gaze that winds its way around the ochre city, from urban safaris to guided heritage tours.

Shaped by ten centuries of history throughout the Almohad, Saadian and Alaouite dynasties, La Sultana decided to breathe new life into the legend of bygone eras in 2001. Its exceptional location near the Royal Palace in the Kasbah neighbourhood, listed as part of UNESCO's World Heritage, makes it an extraordinary destination.

In partnership with the Historic Monuments, expert craftsmen focused on a chapter of the past to revive an art of living that cares about the Medina's architectural heritage. The vaults of the former granary, once used to supply the royal family, became patios. Terraces on the upper floors overlook a fabulous treasure: the Mausoleum of the Saadian Princes. The decorative arts were given pride of place in all phases of this exemplary restoration. Wrought metal, sculpted wood, zellige tiling and noble materials offer far more than a backcloth: the privilege of a trip back in time, and the eternal beauty of Morroco.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
