Es Saadi Gardens & Resort, Marrakech - Information
|
|
|
The Es Saadi was designed by its owner and founder Jean Bauchet and was completed in 1962. Then, as now, Marrakech was the place to escape the European winter and the chic area became known as 'Hivernage'. In the height of the swinging 60's the hotel played host to Princess Margaret, Pierre Balmain and The Rolling Stones.

The hotel has been passed down through three generations of the Bauchet family and today Jean Bauchet’s grandson, Jean Alexandre Bauchet Bouhlal and his wife Caroline lead the management of the resort. The Hotel has 135 rooms and 15 suites, with 10 private villas as well as The Palace with 84 luxury suites. In the gardens there are 8 Ksarsvillas which are Berberstyle two story houses, and a 2400 metre swimming pool which is the largest in the city. Es Saadi has seven restaurants including L’Epicurien which is one of the best restaurants in the city. The large Spa has a Dior Institut, one of only two in the world. Es Saadi is home to the Casino de Marrakech which was the firstever to be built in North Africa in 1952, and the TheatrO Nightclub which plays host to top DJ’s from around the world.

Es Saadi Gardens and Resort is built among 20 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens in the heart of Marrakech, only a short stroll from the bustling souks and Djemaa el F’na square, creating a perfect oasis to escape the crowds, whilst still being in the heart of the city. The Palace is a haven, and after a hectic day in the Medina the gardens planted with palm, banana and orange trees can only make you relax, with sun loungers surrounded by roses and bougainvilleas.
The family are keen supporters of local artists and the hotel has a large collection of over 400 pieces of art including paintings, sculptures and frescoes from a range of established artists and young, emerging local talent.
The overall design of the Es Saadi has kept the original feeling of refined elegance and style of the 1950’s and 60’s. All the rooms and suites have been entirely renovated and are both comfortable and authentically Moroccan with sculpted wooden furniture, Moroccan silks, local colour palettes and handwoven carpets.The pool here was built around a large palm tree which then became the logo of the resort.

The Es Saadi Hotel, which counts 135 rooms and some suites, all decorated with an eye towards both comfort and authenticity, with sculpted wood furniture, Moroccan silk cloths and handwoven carpets.
Nearby in the grounds, The Es Saadi Palace has a variety of suites, each of which have a private terrace overlooking the gardens and pool, with views of the Atlas Mountains. Each suite is individually decorated using beautiful traditional materials with hand carved furniture by expert craftsmen.
The Bauchet’s philosophy is to preserve the family atmosphere and convey the charm and soul of this special property. This is a resort which looks big, but feels small.
