The Mellah Hotel
A rooftop pool in the historic Mellah district
About this hotel
The Mellah Hotel offers a 5-star experience built around a rooftop swimming pool, a terrace, a restaurant and a bar, set in Marrakech's historic Mellah district near the old Jewish quarter. Guests enjoy air-conditioning, private bathrooms with both showers and baths, and free WiFi, with the restaurant serving local cuisine alongside continental and à la carte breakfast options. The rooftop setting gives the pool a genuine view over the Mellah's low rooflines, distinct from a ground-level courtyard pool elsewhere in the Medina. The bar and restaurant provide relaxing spaces for both dining and socialising, rounding out a property built around its rooftop as the main draw beyond the room itself.

Our take
This suits travellers who want a rooftop pool with genuine views over a historic district, paired with a restaurant and bar for evenings without leaving the property. The Mellah setting also offers a quieter, more residential feel than the busier Medina core nearby. Guests chasing a large ground-level resort pool or golf-estate grounds should look toward Hivernage or the Palmeraie instead of this rooftop-focused property.
- Head up to the rooftop pool in the late afternoon for the best light over the Mellah district's rooflines before dinner.
- Choose the à la carte breakfast option over the continental one if you want a fuller start to a day of sightseeing.
- Use the bar for an evening drink before dinner rather than heading out into the Mellah's quieter streets after dark.

Why guests love itThe Mellah Hotel is a five-star hotel in the Mellah district with a rooftop swimming pool, a terrace, a restaurant and bar, and private bathrooms with both showers and baths. For families, a bathtub in the room is a real help at bedtime with young children, and the rooftop pool gives a break from the old city's heat. Breakfast is continental or à la carte. A 9.6 score is exceptional. I would book it for a family stay close to the historic Mellah and its lanes.
