HOTEL OF THE WEEk SIRAyANE
bOuTIquE HOTEL AND SpA, mARRAkech
VSIRAyANE IS the
brainchild of a former
Moroccan merchant
banker, who broke away
from the traditional
style of Marrakech
hotels, or riadhs.
Located 10 minutes
from the airport, it is
unusually spacious with
giant doors and a huge
reception area with a
high vaulted ceiling. It
nestles in a complex
of gardens and the
pools — a massive 29
metres long swimming
pool, and a winter pool,
heated to 30 degrees,
plus four private pools
in the junior and de luxe
suites.
Much of the charm
of Sirayane derives
from its intimacy
— just 28 rooms. The
ones by the pools
are mini-villas. The
spa is equipped with
international and
Moroccan cosmetic
brands, and an
Oriental hammam
and a variety of
treatments, many
based argan oil.
There’s a gym
with cardio training
equipment and a small
hair salon. Sporty
types should check out
the paddle tennis court
and the 400m jogging
track.
The Atlas Mountains
provide a stunning
backdrop to the hotel
and if it’s cold, there’s
a library with a glowing
fireplace.
The hotel menu
is slightly meatheavy, but the staff
will provide fish and
vegetarian options.
Every day Sirayane
provides a free shuttle
service to Marrakech’s
legendary Djmaa
el-Fnaa Square, the
gateway to the souk.
Dip in, then zoom back
to the peace of the
Sirayane, laden with
purchases.
