The Energy of the Modern District
A true contrast to the historic bustle of the Medina, the "New City" district is a must-see stop on your trip. To discover the modern, chic and cosmopolitan side of Morocco, exploring Guéliz in Marrakech is a fascinating experience. Designed in the early 20th century during the French Protectorate, this vibrant neighbourhood stands out for its wide, airy avenues lined with majestic palm trees and ochre-toned buildings, offering a refreshing urban stroll.
As you discover Guéliz in Marrakech, you will immediately be charmed by its unique architectural heritage. Looking up, you can admire the stunning Art Deco and Moorish façades that line the streets. Behind this harmonious architecture, you will find renowned contemporary art galleries and cutting-edge concept stores, where talented local and international designers reimagine traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with a touch of luxury and modernity.
This district is also the undisputed paradise for shopping and refined living.

Take time for a gourmet break on the shaded terrace of a historic café, such as the legendary Grand Café de la Poste — a true institution where you can savour the moment in a retro and refined setting.
As night falls, the New City reveals an entirely different side. The epicentre of glamour and nightlife, the district is filled with elegant lounge bars and trendy restaurants.
