SELMAN MARRAKECH

SETS THE STANDARD FOR LUXURY FAMILY TRAVEL IN MOROCCO

There are plenty of luxury hotels in Marrakech, very few feel like Selman. This Arab- Moorish palace, designed by Jacques Garcia, is one of the Red City’ s most iconic addresses.
Cinematic in scale, grounded in old world glamour and defined by its Arabian stallions, Selman offers something far more transportive than a typical city stay. For families seeking that rare, once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip, both Morocco and Selman make a compelling case for spring and summer 2026.
At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, the hotel rises out of the landscape like a mirage. Garcia’ s vision is consistent throughout: from the dramatic entrance to the 80-metre pool that cuts through manicured gardens, to the 55 rooms, suites and 5 private villas layered with rich fabrics, carved details and a distinctly Moroccan sense of warmth.
ROOMS, SUITES AND VILLAS
Accommodation reflects the same sense of scale and grandeur. The villas, in particular, are among the most impressive in Marrakech. The flagship Villa Selman spans 700 square metres, with two bedrooms, expansive living and dining spaces, a private landscaped garden and a 15-metre heated pool.
