Picolo recommends · Hotel in Marrakech, Morocco
2Ciels Boutique Hotel
A rooftop pool above the flat roofs of the new town, with the Atlas Mountains on the horizon when the air is clear.
Swim a few strokes on the roof and look out over Guéliz, the new town the French laid out in the twentieth century. On a clear day the Atlas Mountains stand on the horizon behind the flat roofs.
2Ciels is a newly built hotel in a calm, modern Moroccan style with muted colours. It sits on the streets behind Avenue Mohammed V, with cafés, galleries and shops around the corner and Jardin Majorelle, the cobalt-blue garden, a short walk away.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose 2Ciels Boutique Hotel
It is a sensible choice if you want Marrakech at a fair price. The rooms are quiet, the wifi works, breakfast is straightforward, and you live among residents rather than other tourists.
Guéliz is everything the medina is not, and that is the point. If you came for riad courtyards and lanes, this will feel too ordinary, and you will need a taxi to reach the souks.
What you get
- Rooftop pool
- Views towards the Atlas on clear days
- Breakfast included in many rates
- Jardin Majorelle within walking distance
- Easy taxis to the medina
