Recommend a Hammam
 
We are going to be in Marrakesh and would like to experience going to a lovely Hammam. Any suggestions?
Thanks

How about a day trip to Essouria that includes a Hamman? We took a great one at the hotel Lalla Mira which we loved.

Marrakesh can get a bit intense and it is a very different energy in Essouria.

Just a thought.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. We are traveling as part of a group so, unfortunately, we won't be able to do any side trips. I will remember your suggestion in case we make a return trip. How far is Essouria from Marrakesh, just out of curiosity?
Thanks

It is about a 2 hour drive by taxi and is a whole different world right on the sea, white and bright blue buildings with a sweet , much calmer energy.

It is kind of Morocco mellow and use to be a hide out for Hemmingway.

The ancient Hamman there was rebuilt by a German lady who has made that as part of her first all organic hotel in Morocco.
