Selman Marrakech
Morocco, Africa
Marrakech
At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, away from the hustle of the medina, what seemed like only a mirage has become a reality: Selman Marrakech, a palace of distinct, sublime and alluring charm. Passing through the immense portico, the gaze is drawn over the whole property by the geometry of the facades and gardens dotted with fountains, creating a sublime harmony. Across the Mechouar, the traveller gets a glimpse of the interior, a sensual contrast to the grandeur of the exterior. Designed by Jacques Garcia and built by the best artisans, Selman seduces with its timeless harmony. At this intimate, personal and family-owned property, each guest shares in the joy, love and dreams of their warm and passionate hosts. In this timeless palace whose construction was the vision of the owner, the art of traditional Moroccan hospitality has been revived. Precious moments are embodied in the presence of the beautiful thoroughbred Arabian horses, symbols of a bygone grandeur, which capture the spirit of Selman and invite the joy of living. There are views of the horses from the terraces and the gardens where one can admire the majesty and poise of these animals. Moments of pure grace add to the perfection of this timeless experience. An essential and unedited experience, a return to the source of forgotten luxury, now found again under the light of the Selman's stars.

I absolutely loved my stay at the Selman Marrakech.
From the moment you arrive, you immediately feel that you're entering an exceptional property. The service is simply outstanding—a true benchmark for luxury hospitality that every hotel in the region should aspire to. Every member of the team is genuinely kind, welcoming, attentive, and professional. There is always a warm smile, a thoughtful gesture, and a sincere desire to make your stay unforgettable.
The hotel itself is an architectural masterpiece. Every space has been designed with remarkable elegance, blending Moroccan heritage with timeless sophistication. It feels more like a museum than a hotel, where every detail has been carefully curated.
And then there is the stud farm... The magnificent Arabian horses are truly breathtaking and give the property a unique soul. Watching them in such a peaceful and refined setting is an unforgettable experience. It's a true haven of tranquility where luxury, nature, and equestrian excellence come together in perfect harmony.
The Selman Marrakech is far more than a luxury hotel—it's a destination and an experience in itself. Without a doubt, one of the finest hospitality experiences I have ever had. Highly recommended.
The hotel smells very bad!!
I'm so glad I can leave my review here!! As soon as we walked into the hotel, the owner was there with her Italian friend, both smoking in the lobby!!!!! Smoking in the lobby in a five star hotel????? We sat down to wait for the keys, Both of them looked at me, criticized me and all Stay that we were there for five days, they were criticising me every single day! Her Italian friend At the dinner when I was with my husband She sit next to us smoking that all the smoke was coming towards me then the waiter came to me and poured the juice I ordered on me. This was on purpose. We had a driver from the hotel who I think was gay and he kept looking at my husband and asking him for money. I have never seen such cheap treatment anywhere. Cheap!!!

Peace and tranquility in Marrakech
Selman Hotel is an absolutely stunning place to stay in Marrakech. The decor is beautiful, the service is excellent, and the choice of swimming pools and beautiful grounds, makes it easy to fully relax. In addition to the iconic long pool seen in so many photos, there are also quieter, more secluded swimming pools behind the spa where you can really unwind. Sabo the hotel's French restaurant was a real highlight, with delicious food served in an elegant setting...the table setting was just stunning. Everything feels refined at the hotel and it's all luxurious but somehow manages to remain unstuffy and relaxed. There were some lovely touches, like live gentle Moroccan music at breakfast and delicious snacks and drinks in the lobby in the afternoon. I also had the chance to try some of the hotel's equestrian activities. Equi-wellness, a form of yoga on horseback involving breathing exercises and specific postures, was great fun and unlike anything I've experienced anywhere else. It made the stay even more memorable.
One of a kind experience!
5* I had an unforgettable stay at Selman Marrakech and can honestly say it went above my expectations.
The hotel itself is amazing, with stunning rooms and a really peaceful atmosphere. My room was spacious and very comfortable, and everything was kept well throughout my stay. I loved coming back to the room after a busy day.
One of my favourite experiences was dining at Assyl. The food was excellent and it was made even more special by the live entertainment, dancing horses and belly dancers, which created a really memorable evening. The staff were also very attentive and easy to talk to.
What stood out most, however, was the service. Each member of staff I met was friendly, attentive and happy to help with any questions. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
There was also plenty to do during the stay. From enjoying the scenary from the outdoor swimming pool, the horse show at the hotel to the Medina, which was easy to reach from the property.
Overall, Selman Marrakech is a truly special place and I would happily return. Thank you to the entire team for creating such an amazing experience!
A truly special stay at Selman Marrakech
Selman is one of those rare places that lives up to every expectation and then quietly exceeds them. From the moment i arrived there’s a sense of calm and elegance that runs through the whole property, the gardens, the pool, the architecture all feel considered without ever feeling stiff.
The Arabian horses are, of course, the heart of the place, and seeing them is genuinely unforgettable , it gives Selman a soul you don’t find at most luxury hotels. The spa is a haven, the grounds are beautiful to wander, and dinner at Assyl and Sabo were true highlights.
What stayed with me most, though, was the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, and every interaction felt sincere rather than scripted. I left already wanting to return.
Grazie mille to the whole team a presto.
