Selman Marrakech

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at this unique hotel in January, and it truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best in the world. Everything was spectacular, except for the food. While the breakfast buffet was good, it didn’t quite meet the high expectations set by such an esteemed hotel, especially when it came to the bread, which was a letdown. Room service had its challenges too; after some mix-ups, our order arrived with a bread basket that was rock-hard and cold—definitely a missed opportunity to toast it. Paying $30 for a Caesar salad felt a bit steep for what we received. We were excited to try the famous Moroccan restaurant, which was visually stunning and featured an interesting performance. However, the food left us disappointed, as we’ve enjoyed much better meals elsewhere in Morocco. To top it off, the hotel staff forgot to acknowledge our anniversary, which was supposed to include a special cake. Overall, while the hotel has so much going for it, the dining experience fell short of our expectations.

Exceptional hotel. I don’t even know where to begin - beautiful property, incredible staff, great breakfast area. This was probably one of my favorite hotel experiences of all time. Also, I’ve never had a hotel clean and organize my room as well as these guys do.

For the first time in Morocco , Marrakech we were here for 12 days. We wanted to enjoy the food , culture and the surroundings. We were highly recommended to go to Selman for the Sunday brunch by an acquaintance who has lived here for a very long time. We took his word and booked for Sunday brunch . experience of a life time , we thought . Amazing hotel, outstanding decor , the gardens and all surrounding grounds were awesome -the stables and the prize horses were too much to grasp.. The temperature was 38, hot . It was a full house , sitting outside . Tables were arranged along the fountain boulevard on both sides , partly shaded by the olive trees and make shift umbrellas. We were seated by a very narrow path , tables for 2 only , no shade just small umbrellas. At 12.00 noon it was hot and sun was over head , but soon the sun started moving . Well this was it . It was getting unbearably hot and requested for more umbrellas……. No more ???? This was the most dangerous manoeuvre, hopping over the umbrella bases, congested chairs , trying to walk on the fountain path and getting clothes caught on the chairs to go get your food . Food looked good , but I have experienced a better spread of buffet. The breads , cheese , salads , pasta , sushi and the deserts were under covered building , however the Tagine , bbq, and the sea food was all out in the 38 degree hot sun with no ice blankets or crushed ice. To watch the show , the horses were amazing but we had to move away , find a tree to stand there for 1 hr , due to the sun and people standing right in front , blocking our view and the busy waiters obstructing us from enjoying the spectacular show of the horses, we were frustrated to and hot to realize that the show had ended. I am sure, having such a magnificent hotel you would consult the right people and take this very seriously and amend the situation .

I visited La Terrasse and Mohammed was an amazing server who was extremely personable, professional and attentive. All the staff at the Selman are fantastic, however Mohammed went above and beyond making my experience memorable. I will absolutely be back to see and experience more of the selman in the future.

I had a horrible experience. The hotel air condition was not working and the hotel added charges to my account from another guest without my permission. They would not let me leave the hotel without paying. As you can imagine, I needed to make my flight and I paid. They allowed another guest to add charges to my account with a note (SeeImage). WTH. I didn't even know this until weeks after and many email. The charges were over $2k additionally charged. To date, I have not heard from the hotel or my money refunded.
