The Palace of Serenity: Inside Marrakech’s Palais Ronsard

A Hidden Paradise in La Palmeraie

Nestled in the legendary La Palmeraie district of Marrakech lies Palais Ronsard, a world of its own — serene, elegant, and steeped in beauty. As part of the Relais & Châteaux collection, this hidden palace invites guests into a space where art, architecture, and nature come together in perfect harmony. More than a hotel, Palais Ronsard is an experience — a love letter to refinement, romance, and the quiet luxury of Moroccan life.

Nature as a Way of Life

The first impression of Palais Ronsard is one of calm. Surrounded by whispering palms and ancient olive trees, the gardens seem to breathe serenity. The scent of roses fills the air as the sun casts its golden glow across manicured lawns and peaceful ponds. Here, the garden isn’t simply a backdrop — it is the soul of the experience.

Breakfasts under the soft morning light, afternoons spent reading in shaded corners, and candlelit dinners under a blanket of stars — every moment is infused with stillness and poetry.

Suites and Villas for the Soul

With only 28 suites and villas, Palais Ronsard is built for intimacy and discretion. Each villa tells its own story, blending Moroccan craftsmanship with European sophistication. Intricate mosaics, carved wood, antique furnishings, and soft fabrics create an ambiance that feels both regal and welcoming.

Private gardens and terraces offer intimate spaces to unwind, while select villas feature heated pools — perfect for a midnight swim or a tranquil sunrise dip. Every detail, from the light fixtures to the linens, whispers elegance.

The Art of Relaxation

At the heart of Palais Ronsard lies its heated pool, surrounded by plush loungers and the scent of blooming roses. It’s a gathering place for quiet reflection or gentle conversation — a sanctuary within a sanctuary.

The spa carries forward the palace’s promise of peace. Guests can indulge in traditional Moroccan hammams, massages with locally sourced argan oils, and rejuvenating treatments infused with rose and mint. Each ritual draws from ancient wisdom to restore balance and calm.

A Symphony of Flavors

Dining at Palais Ronsard is a celebration of taste and artistry. The palace’s fine dining venues offer menus inspired by both Moroccan heritage and Mediterranean refinement. Seasonal ingredients from the property’s own gardens bring freshness to every dish — from saffron couscous and lamb tajines to French-inspired delicacies like foie gras and handmade pastries.

Whether dining beneath chandeliers in the elegant restaurant or among flowers in the Winter Garden, guests are invited to savor moments as much as flavors.

An Architectural Love Story

Designed by French architect Gil Dez and envisioned by Adriana Karembeu and Aram Ohanian, Palais Ronsard is a masterpiece of design and emotion. Every corridor, archway, and courtyard is a testament to the art of timeless architecture. Soft light filters through ornate lanterns, illuminating the meeting point between Moroccan tradition and French romanticism.

This is not just a hotel — it’s a canvas of culture and creativity, adored by artists, writers, and dreamers alike.

A Haven for Adults

Palais Ronsard maintains an adults-only policy, ensuring an atmosphere of quiet sophistication. Ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, and solo escapes, the palace offers privacy and tranquility at every turn. Here, life moves at the pace of a heartbeat, inviting guests to rediscover themselves.

The Marrakech You Haven’t Met Yet

When people think of Marrakech, they imagine the medina’s chaos, the colors, the call to prayer echoing over the rooftops. But beyond that rhythm lies Palais Ronsard — a place where time slows, hearts rest, and every sunrise feels like a poem waiting to be lived.

A stay here isn’t just a journey — it’s a transformation. A return to beauty, to stillness, to self.

Palais Ronsard — where every moment is art, and every stay, a story.
