Location. Les Jardins de la Medina is located in Marrakech medina, Morocco, 500 metres from the Royal Palace, and two kilometres from Djemma el Fna market square and Marrakech town centre.
Hotel Features. Once part of a Marrakchi prince's riad, les Jardins de la Medina has been converted into a peaceful boutique hotel. The high walls enclose a swimming pool and tranquil gardens, where guests can relax in hammocks surrounded by the scents of orange trees and jacaranda. Views over the busy Medina or towards the Atlas mountains can be admired from the hotel's several roof terraces. The extensive beauty services on offer at Les Jardins de la Medina range from a traditional hammam in the hotel's own Moorish baths to massage treatments and a spa tub. The hotel also features an open air fitness area, a boutique, a bureau de change, and a hair salon.
A complimentary buffet breakfast is served each day at les Jardins de la Medina's restaurant, Karintia. The restaurant offers both Moroccan and international dishes, and the outdoor terrace overlooks the pool and gardens. The adjacent pool restaurant serves light snacks and drinks, and a Mediterranean buffet every Sunday.
Guestrooms. The 36 air conditioned guestrooms are decorated with wooden furnishings, bright fabrics, and Moroccan touches. Amenities include satellite television, minibars, and safes. Superior and deluxe rooms include DVD players.
Expert Tip. It is illegal to cut down a palm tree in Marrakech, which has led to scenarios of palm trees being left to grow in the middle of pavements, especially in Marrakech's palmeraie area. It also means that many of the palm trees growing in Les Jardins de la Medina's garden are centuries old. |

Getting around. Marrakech city centre is best explored by foot, as cars are unable to reach many of the narrow lanes in the Medina.
