La Sultana
A maximalist mainstay complete with spot-on gadgets




Still enjoying the benefits of a full-scale refurbishment, this historic golden triangle residence is the epitome of Moroccan maximalism. A sense of drama pervades the 28 guest rooms and suites, with confident wall colours, stained-glass windows and ornamental ceilings, plus bathrooms resembling small temples with marble finishes. But rest assured that it isn’t all about grandeur as La Sultana hits the spot on facilities; the accommodations complete with soundproofing, iPod docks and reversible air conditioning. Its kitchen plates palatable seasonal Moroccan fare and the magnificent spa, colonnaded hammam, jet-stream swimming pool and misted solarium all add to the aura of prestige.
