Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Palmeraie
Set in 20 acres of olive grove and jasmine garden in the Palmeraie, Mandarin Oriental Marrakech achieves a remarkable feat — resort scale with riad intimacy. The pavilion-style villas, world-class spa, and chef-driven restaurants combine with MO's signature service culture for a deeply satisfying experience.
Hivernage
La Mamounia is a Marrakech legend — Winston Churchill's favourite retreat since the 1930s, set in 17 acres of Arabo-Andalusian gardens. The 2009 Patrick Jouin redesign brought sumptuous contemporary opulence to the Art Deco bones, and the spa complex is among the finest in Africa. Repeatedly voted the world's best hotel.
Medina
Riad Kniza is among the Medina's most authentic and considered traditional riads — owned by an antique dealer, its interiors read as a private museum of Moroccan craftsmanship, with tiles, cedar carvings, and textiles of extraordinary quality. The 11-room property delivers genuinely warm, family-run hospitality.
Medina
Les Jardins de la Koutoubia occupies a prime position steps from the iconic 12th-century minaret — its heated rooftop pool, beautiful Andalusian garden, hammam, and 72 rooms at a price considerably below the palace-hotels make it one of Marrakech's finest value luxury propositions.
Palmeraie
Aman's Marrakech address is a vision of Islamic minimalism — rose-pink pavilions, emerald reflecting pools, and private gardens in the Palmeraie create an atmosphere of meditative luxury that recalls the great Andalusian paradises. The pool maisons with private pools are among the finest accommodations in North Africa.
Hivernage
Selman is defined by two things: the world's most beautiful pool (a 100-metre infinity pool with Atlas Mountain views) and its celebrated Arabians — a stable of pure-bred horses that guests can ride through the Hivernage palms at dawn. The architecture by Christophe Sic is extraordinary.
