Les Jardins de la Koutoubia

Les Jardins de la Koutoubia is one of the larger hotels inside the medina: 108 rooms and suites, among them thirty mini suites, twenty-two junior suites and two royal suites. The scale is the point. It fits things a riad usually cannot, a heated outdoor pool and an indoor one, a spa run by Shiseido, a fitness centre, a library, a billiards room and a car park of its own. There are three restaurants, a snack bar, a piano bar and a sky bar, and a panoramic terrace facing the Koutoubia minaret the hotel is named after. Choose it if you want to reach Jemaa el Fna on foot in a couple of minutes but come back to a full-service hotel, with a lift, parking and a pool that is heated in winter.
