Where to stay in Marrakesh

When in Marrakesh, we recommend booking into a traditional riad (a home converted into a hotel). It’s an utterly unique experience, but naturally there are other accommodation options to choose from. Here are some of our favourites:

  • The riad stay

    Many travellers choose the peace and tranquillity of a riad stay when they are in Marrakesh. There are more than 500 riads dotted throughout the city maze. While some may not look like much from the outside, open the carved wooden padlocks and you’ll be greeted by a courtyard oasis with gorgeous mosaic tiles, palm-fringed swimming pools and traditional hammams (steam baths). Our fav is the Riad Jardin Secret, a haven of authenticity and quirkiness with its pink rooftop and an artist residency. Then there’s the Le Rihani, a magical family-style riad that has the feel of a traditional Moroccan experience, and the service of a five-star boutique hotel. With its picturesque courtyard and elegantly decorated rooms, pool and rooftop terrace, it’s the perfect sanctuary in the city. Don’t miss out on their fabulous spa treatments.

  • The fancy stay

    Want to splurge on your accommodation? The Royal Mansour is considered one of the best luxury hotels in Marrakesh. It was once owned by the King of Morocco and, as you can imagine, no expense was spared in the design and décor. Some of Morocco’s leading artisans were involved in the project. It is conveniently situated a few steps away from the hubbub of the Jemaa el-Fina marketplace,
