Palais Ronsard
Romantic maximalist palace. Think antique furniture, velvet, painted ceilings, and lush secret gardens — Marie Antoinette meets Moroccan riad. Literary references to French Renaissance poet Pierre de Ronsard are woven throughout. Adults-only (children under 12 not admitted).
Book a pavilion if budget allows — the private heated pool and separate entrance make it feel like a private villa, not a hotel room.
Why It Matters
One of only a handful of Relais & Châteaux properties in Morocco. The six private-pool pavilions are genuinely private — separate entrances, walled gardens, no shared facilities required. Le Jardin d'Hiver restaurant holds a Michelin Key and won the Prix de Versailles 2020 as the world's most beautiful restaurant. Chef Alexandre Thomas holds the prestigious Escoffier title.
Palais Ronsard is a 27-room palace hotel sitting in the Palmeraie, Marrakech's historic palm grove, about 20 minutes from the Medina. Opened in 2019 by model Adriana Karembeu and her husband Aram Ohanian, it was designed by decorator Gil Dez — antiques, canopied beds, frescoed ceilings, baroque chandeliers, and mirrored doors. Six of the accommodations are freestanding pavilions with their own heated private pools and gardens. It holds a Michelin Key (2025) and its Le Jardin d'Hiver restaurant won the Prix de Versailles for 'most beautiful restaurant in the world' in 2020.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Adriana Signature
The newest room at Palais Ronsard and the flagship in-palace suite at 120m². Named for co-founder Adriana Karembeu. Art Deco lines meet Moroccan craftsmanship, with a vast temple-like bathroom and a large private terrace overlooking the palm grove. A fireplace, Guerlain amenities, and a Nespresso machine round out the experience. This is the suite to request for a romantic milestone stay.
King · 120 sqm
Grand Pavilion
The largest accommodation at 175m². Everything the Pavilion offers, but bigger — majestic bookcases, silk tapestries, noble wood panelling, and a marble bathtub in the bathroom. The private garden and heated pool sit behind the pavilion entirely out of sight. Described as an 'inspiring retreat' — the large picture-window framing of the gardens makes it genuinely painterly.
King · 175 sqm
Pavilion
A freestanding private pavilion at 115m² with its own entrance, walled garden, large terrace, and heated swimming pool. Six of these exist on the property, each an independent sanctuary. Antique furniture, frescoed ceilings, and a refined bathroom. The large bay windows open directly to the private garden and pool. No shared facilities needed — you could spend entire days without encountering another guest.
King · 115 sqm
Prestige Room
The entry-level room at 60m² — though 'entry-level' here still means a marble fireplace, private terrace opening onto the gardens, floral fabrics mixed with oriental furniture and baroque lamps, and a spacious marble bathroom with double sinks, separate shower and bath. Accommodates 2 adults.
King or Twin · 60 sqm
Senior Suite
At 80m², the Senior Suite is bright and spacious with a king bed. Described as particularly luminous. Part of the main palace building.
