Medina
Commissioned by King Mohammed VI as a personal vision of Moroccan hospitality, Royal Mansour is a city within the city — 53 private riads, each with its own plunge pool, connected by underground passageways. The craftsmanship is unparalleled: every tile hand-cut, every cedar ceiling hand-carved....
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....
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.

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.
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.
