Selman Marrakech

Beautiful setting, surrounding gardens thst 80m pool strength with surrounding cabanas & the horse stables. Spa area is superb internal options & external pools. Design of the public area of the property are so cared for, well-considered & well-presented. Very beautiful, one truly feels in the lap of luxury! Staff are all fantastic; from the doormen through to reception ( Mohamed) , turn down service (Abbes) to the restaurant staff ( super helpful honest manager () & Omar whom served us) in another spectacular space on the grounds, the Assyl Moroccan traditional restaurant! Gorgeous! Food is outstanding & traditional, ( but revise he pastilla more spices & flavour plz) which is what every guests wants to experience not something catered to for a western palate! Well done all! But the pice-de-resistance was how much detail, care & kindness they bestow upon their guests! My birthday was not only celebrated by the Selman sending to my room, a set-up for tea, trolley with a beautifully decorated delicious French patisserie chocolate & orange mousse cake. Yet later in Assyl restaurant, they kept the musicians back more time, for me, they played for ages, for me & then at dessert time played 3 versions of Happy Birthday for me ( Eng, French, Morrocan) whilst all staff clapping & singing with great verve! They sprinkled me with rose

Too far out of town, a hassle to go anywhere. So one tends to stay out & enjoy the amenities ( if your into that kind of R&R) What would be great would be a flexible ( drive at anytime) local hotel shuttle for guests instead of having to keep calling taxis & transfers. Something to consider! ( as an extended service) I felt my room was boring beige & not in a true Morrocan style. It’s european hotel room formula with a slight leaning to a Morrocan style. I for this reason prefer Riads as they are more authentic, decorated more interestingly & eclectically. Being a large luxury hotel brand unfortunately loses all the feel in the rooms. Although all the size, space, spa, public areas make THIS experience all worth it & more. Beautiful The Selman!
