Lonely Planet "The Sultana hasn't forsaken the razzle-dazzle of its Moroccan roots in favour of restrained glamour." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This luxury hotel is discreetly hidden off a court beside the Saadian Tombs. The interiors, a riot of Asian and African styles, are a complete contrast."
Rough Guide "For those who can’t decide between a riad, a five-star or a boutique hotel, this is an extremely stylish blend of all three: riad style, boutique personal attention and five-star facilities."
Star Service "Luxury and sophistication collide in this stunning example of a traditional riad built within the past decade." Full review
