Marrakech’s Most Opulent Retreats

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech is a city that exudes culture and is home to some of the most exquisite hotels in the world. Here is our edit of three of the best – each offers exceptional accommodation and captures the distinctive generosity of Moroccan hospitality. Whether you're strolling through La Mamounia's storied gardens, exploring the intricate architecture of Royal Mansour or relaxing in Amanjena's serene environs, you’ll get a unique glimpse into the beauty of the red city.

La Mamounia

La Mamounia, a legendary hotel dating back to 1923, is renowned for its opulent Art Deco design and impeccable service. This iconic establishment has hosted numerous celebrities, including Winston Churchill and Marlene Dietrich. The hotel features lush gardens spanning eight hectares, providing a serene escape from the bustling medina. Guests can indulge in a luxurious spa experience with traditional hammams or savour exquisite Moroccan cuisine at its renowned restaurant, Le Marocain. The rooms and suites are odes to traditional Moroccan craftsmanship, featuring zellige tiles and intricately carved woodwork.

Owned by King Mohammed VI, Royal Mansour Marrakech redefines luxury with its unique "medina within a medina" concept. The hotel comprises 53 lavish riads set amidst six hectares of Moorish gardens, each offering unparalleled privacy. The Royal Mansour's spa, with its exquisite latticework and glass pavilion pool, is a haven of relaxation. The culinary offerings are equally impressive, with Michelin-starred chefs Hélène Darroze and Massimiliano Alajmo.
