Marrakech—a city that blends ancient mystique with modern luxury like no other place on Earth. With its labyrinthine souks, breathtaking palaces, and vibrant gardens, Marrakech is more than just a destination; it’s an experience. And at the heart of this mesmerizing city are some of the most exquisite hotels in the world, offering travelers an unparalleled blend of traditional Moroccan charm and contemporary elegance. Recently, Condé Nast Traveller spotlighted the best hotels in Marrakech, and we’ve gathered the highlights to guide you through the crème de la crème of accommodations in this enchanting city.
Marrakech is a city of palaces, and many of its most luxurious hotels reflect this heritage. Staying in one of these opulent establishments is like stepping into a living piece of history, where every tile and archway tells a story. Leading the pack is the iconic La Mamounia, often described as the jewel of Marrakech. Nestled within ancient gardens that once belonged to the Sultan, La Mamounia has hosted royalty, celebrities, and discerning travelers from around the world. Its blend of traditional Moroccan architecture with Art Deco influences creates a setting that is as timeless as it is luxurious. Whether you’re sipping mint tea in the lush gardens or indulging in a spa treatment inspired by ancient Moroccan rituals, every moment at La Mamounia is a testament to the art of refined living.
Another standout is the Royal Mansour Marrakech, a masterpiece commissioned by King Mohammed VI himself. This hotel isn’t just luxurious; it’s a showcase of Moroccan craftsmanship at its finest. Each of the 53 private riads is a sanctuary of elegance, featuring intricate mosaics, carved cedarwood, and lush private courtyards. The attention to detail is nothing short of extraordinary, with each element meticulously crafted by local artisans. Staying at the Royal Mansour is more than just a visit; it’s an immersion into the very soul of Morocco.
While Marrakech is steeped in history, it’s also a city that embraces the present, and its modern hotels are a testament to this dynamic spirit. For travelers who crave contemporary luxury with a nod to Moroccan heritage, The Oberoi Marrakech is a perfect choice. Located just outside the city center, this hotel offers stunning views of the Atlas Mountains and is surrounded by 28 acres of orchards and olive groves. The Oberoi Marrakech combines modern design with traditional elements, such as ornate domes and intricate zellige tilework, creating a serene and stylish retreat that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the Medina.
For a chic and intimate experience, El Fenn is a must-visit. This boutique hotel, co-owned by Richard Branson’s sister, Vanessa, is a vibrant blend of art, color, and luxury. With its eclectic mix of contemporary art, vintage furniture, and traditional Moroccan details, El Fenn offers a unique and immersive stay that’s as stylish as it is comfortable. The rooftop terrace, with its stunning views of the Koutoubia Mosque and the Atlas Mountains, is the perfect spot for a sunset cocktail or a leisurely breakfast.
In addition to its grand palaces and modern marvels, Marrakech is home to a number of boutique hotels that offer a more intimate and personalized experience. These hidden gems are perfect for travelers looking for something unique and off the beaten path. Riad El Mezouar, located in the heart of the Medina, is a serene oasis that offers a true taste of Moroccan hospitality. With just five rooms, this boutique hotel provides an exclusive and tranquil retreat, where guests can enjoy the beauty of a traditional riad, complete with a lush courtyard and a small pool.
For those seeking a bohemian vibe, Riad Mena & Beyond offers a chic and relaxed atmosphere with a focus on wellness. The riad’s minimalist design, combined with its commitment to sustainability, creates a peaceful and harmonious environment. With daily yoga classes, organic meals, and a soothing spa, Riad Mena & Beyond is a haven for those looking to recharge and reconnect.
Marrakech continues to evolve as a luxury destination, with new hotels and experiences constantly raising the bar for what travelers can expect. Whether you’re drawn to the grandeur of a palace, the sleek lines of a modern retreat, or the intimate charm of a boutique riad, Marrakech offers a wealth of options to suit every taste.
