Selman Marrakech is a hotel that truly captivates the senses from the moment you arrive. It’s a place where luxury meets soul, and every detail is crafted to create an unforgettable experience. The gardens are absolutely stunning — serene, beautifully maintained, and full of that magical Marrakchi charm. Walking through them feels like stepping into a private oasis, calm and inspiring at the same time. And the horses… what a highlight. Their presence adds a unique elegance and character to the property. Watching them, whether in the paddocks or during the equestrian shows, gives the hotel a sense of grandeur and authenticity you rarely find elsewhere. One of the things I loved most is the fragrance of the hotel — warm, sensual, and almost addictive. It’s the kind of scent that stays with you, making you remember the atmosphere long after you leave. Truly tasty and sexy in the most refined way. Overall, Selman Marrakech blends beauty, sophistication, and emotion perfectly. A hotel that not only looks amazing, but makes you feel amazing too. Highly recommended for anyone seeking elegance, nature, and a uniquely enchanting atmosphere.

This is easily one of the best hotels you can ever stay. Every detail is amazing. A once in a lifetime experience where you can get up close with amazing arabian horses. The grounds are out of a movie. Staff and restaurants are amazing. Book the spa and dinner in the stables.

One of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. Selman Marrakech is not just a hotel — it is an entirely different world, a place where time slows down and every detail is crafted to make you feel as if you’re living inside a dream. From the moment you walk down the long entrance alley, you understand you’ve arrived somewhere unique — a haven of elegance, serenity, and refined beauty. The architecture is majestic yet welcoming, bathed in a soft light that makes every corner feel almost magnetic. The suites are impeccable: spacious, refined, and filled with a timeless elegance that blends Moroccan craftsmanship with absolute comfort. Waking up at Selman feels like drifting between reality and a dream. A special mention goes to the staff, who embody the true art of hospitality: attentive without being intrusive, warm, thoughtful, and genuinely dedicated to making each guest feel unique. Their kindness is one of the memories I treasure most. And then… the Arabian horses. Magnificent, poetic, unforgettable. They give the entire place an almost fairy-tale aura. The Chenot Spa deserves its own chapter. It is an oasis of calm and renewal — a sanctuary where each treatment becomes a sensory journey that restores balance, beauty, and inner energy. The atmosphere is enveloping and serene, and you walk out feeling lighter, clearer, and completely re-aligned with yourself. Selman is the kind of place that stays with you. A sophisticated, intimate refuge where every detail reflects a profound love for the art of welcoming and caring for others. A place to return to — always.

I had the privilege of visiting Selman Marrakech some time ago with a group of friends, and that experience remains vividly etched in my memory as one of the most exceptional stays I have ever had. From the very moment you enter, you are enveloped by an atmosphere of grandeur and refinement, where true Moroccan hospitality meets timeless elegance. The hotel itself is an architectural masterpiece — a perfect embodiment of Moroccan artistry and craftsmanship. Every detail tells a story: from the intricate zellige tiles and hand-carved wooden arches to the glittering chandeliers that cast their light over the richly ornamented interiors. The result is a breathtaking symphony of color, light, and texture that captures both the soul of Marrakech and the sophistication of modern design. The ambiance of Selman Marrakech is nothing short of enchanting. It exudes a serene luxury that feels both vibrant and tranquil — a delicate balance between vitality and peace. The surrounding gardens, with their lush palms and fragrant blossoms, create a natural harmony that soothes the senses and elevates the spirit, especially under the warm and golden Marrakech sun. What truly distinguishes Selman Marrakech, however, is its magnificent collection of purebred Arabian horses. These majestic creatures are not merely part of the décor; they represent the noble heritage and deep cultural pride of Morocco. Watching them move gracefully within the royal stables or during their elegant presentations is an experience that evokes awe and admiration — a living tribute to beauty, strength, and tradition. The entire visit was nothing less than a journey — a seamless blend of visual splendor, emotional tranquility, and cultural depth. Selman Marrakech does not simply offer accommodation; it offers an immersion into art, heritage, and refinement. Please note that the photos and videos shared here represent approximately 70% of those available on the hotel’s official website, as I unfortunately lost my phone, which contained many personal photos from that visit. Still, the memories remain vivid, and what I hold in my heart is no less beautiful than what the camera once captured.

Update (11/01/26): The hotel responded publicly and invited me to contact them, which I did via email (03/11/25). Unfortunately, I never received a reply. I am disappointed that the matter was not followed up, particularly given the seriousness of dietary requirements. The hotel and its grounds were beautiful, and the horses were an added bonus. Unfortunately I had a bad dinner experience. As a vegetarian, I ordered the grilled sweetcorn risotto, expecting risotto rice with sweetcorn. When it arrived it was a small plate of sweetcorn without rice and some mystery brown bits. I took a bite of the dish and was convinced it was not vegetarian. I asked multiple waiters what the brown pieces were and was given multiple different opinions - either mushroom or onion - however, I knew it did not taste of either of these vegetables. I asked them to double check it was vegetarian, and they came back and told me it was definitely vegetarian. Still not convinced, I ate only the sweetcorn and left the brown pieces, meaning I only had half a small plate of food for dinner. At the end of the meal I asked again if it was vegetarian and the waiter went to double check with the chef looking unsure. They did not come back with confirmation for half an hour. When they came back they told me it was ham. Nowhere in the menu was meat listed and I was verbally told multiple times it was vegetarian and only found out it wasn’t after the meal. This is very poor and I am very disappointed as this could have made me very sick, especially if I had an allergy. If you are vegetarian do not order the grilled sweetcorn risotto.
