You picture your arrival — a cool sprinkle of rose water to refresh your hands, face, and neck, sip mint tea in a sultan’s palace garden as the sun turns the sky the same color as Marrakesh’s red-hued city and retire to chambers fit for a king as night drapes the city.
That’s why we’ve curated a list of hyper-luxe accommodations for you to rejuvenate between explorations into Morocco’s heritage and cuisine.
Urban Elegance: Luxury Hotels and Riads in Marrakech
1. Royal Mansour Marrakech
Your first option for a luxury Morocco vacation begins with the Royal Mansour Hotel, which is a retreat of grandeur and personality found in the heart of Marrakech.
As commissioned by King Mohammed VI, this Riad Morocco Hotel has 53 private riads, each of which has a rooftop terrace and a personal pool. It’s no wonder it took over 1200 artisans to make this property!
There are intricate zellige tiles, silk-draped walls, and hand-carved cedarwood details, all to highlight the luxury you’ll live in, and, even beyond architecture, you can have world-class dining at La Grande Table Marocaine or rest at the spa.
- Why Stay? It offers complete privacy. It also provides unparalleled craftsmanship and impeccable service.
- Highlight: There are underground tunnels that allow discreet butler services.
2. Villa Des Orangers
The Villa des Orangers has 32 suites and rooms, arranged around leafy patios, refreshed by fountains and swimming pools… On the first floor, the suites have private terraces, with views over the medina. From the rooftops, the panorama opens out over the old town, the Koutoubia and the Atlas mountains.
Villa des Orangers offers luxurious accommodation in a former palace located in the centre of Marrakech, just a 5-minute walk from Jemaa el Fna Square.
