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.

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.

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.
