Welcome

A palace designed by Jacques Garcia

Selman Marrakech is a Jacques Garcia designed palace hotel on six hectares of gardens outside the Medina, with an 80 metre pool, Arabian horse stables and full privatisation for events of up to 1000 guests.

Selman Marrakech stands at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, away from the Medina, on six hectares of gardens with fountains and rose gardens. Jacques Garcia designed the palace with Arab-Moorish architecture, and local craftsmen built it. It is owned by the Bennani Smires family, who conceived it around their Arabian horse breeding.
