Concierge "Extravagant and extravagantly expensive... a vast oasis ten minutes' drive from town where luxury hotels are currently springing up like palm trees."
Fodor's "Rising like a Byzantine, 14th-century Kasbah from the Palmery and surrounded by its own moat and acres of grounds, this hotel is the last word in sumptuous, escape-it-all luxury." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The rooms, called Harem Suites, are enormous—so big, in fact, that they swallow up rather than show off their handsome furnishings." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Earthen walls surround this lushly landscaped 12-suite and one apartment compound in the middle of a vast, uninhabited, palm-planted plain 20 minutes outside Marrakech." Full review
Afar Magazine "This retreat in four-hectare grounds in Marrakech's Palmeraie was purpose-built three years ago with perfect attention to detail."
The Telegraph8.0
"A modern castle, with architect-designed ramparts, organic gardens, and moats meandering through marble floors." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "More guest palace than guesthouse, Ksar Char-Bagh hotel in Marrakech's post Palmeraie neighbourhood is an Alhambra-like retreat surrounded by nearly 10 acres of grounds." Full review
Michelin Guide "The public spaces are no less impressive, and possibly even more audaciously modern — the courtyard with its fountains and pond makes a striking impression. There are a number of sitting rooms" Full review
