Established in 1966 by Jean Bauchet, the former owner of Paris’ acclaimed Moulin Rouge, Es Saadi is one of the most storied hotels in Marrakech.
Set in eight hectares of lush gardens near the bustling souks of the Medina and Jemaa el-Fnaa square, the hotel has hosted guests including the Rolling Stones, Leonardo DiCaprio and Pierre Balmain over the last half century, and continues to welcome visitors to its 92 suites, 10 private villas and eight two-storey Berber-style cottages.
Following a top-to-toe makeover, the resort’s legendary Dior Institut has reopened its doors within The Palace Spa, a three-level holistic wellness space that’s home to Moroccan hammams, thermal baths, hydrotherapy circuit, 12 treatment rooms and a VIP Spa Suite. The new-look space has been reimagined in a palette of gold and Champagne hues, with Carrara marble floors and natural coloured furnishings.
Dior’s luxurious skincare products are used across the extensive menu of face and body treatments as well as massage therapies designed by Dior expert Claire Llebbe. The latter include the new signature Quintessence 10, which combines traditional relaxation-inducing massage with a Dior skin analyser diagnosis, sapphire crystal micro-abrasion and the application of Dior Prestige skincare products.
