🏨 Where to Stay
- La Mamounia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — the "Grande Dame of Marrakech" since 1923, set in 20 acres of gardens once owned by an 18th-century prince, with a guest history running from Winston Churchill to Alfred Hitchcock. A Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown winner and the single most storied hotel in the city.
- Royal Mansour Marrakech — hidden gem, ultra-luxury — 53 private three-storey riads built entirely by hand over three years, commissioned by the King of Morocco and ranked #13 in the World's 50 Best Hotels 2025. The only hotel in Africa constructed entirely by artisan hand-craft, with a one-to-one butler for every riad.
- Selman Marrakech ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — family-friendly — a striking resort south of the Medina with three pools, a spa, and the owner's own Arabian thoroughbreds wandering the grounds — complete with a kids' club and a Sunday horse show that makes it the city's most memorable family stay.
- Four Seasons Resort Marrakech ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — family-friendly — a 40-acre garden oasis between the ancient medina and the modern city, with a dedicated Kids Club, teen centre, Atlas Mountain views from every terrace, and a Moroccan spa with hammam rituals for the grown-ups.
- La Sultana Marrakech — hidden gem, boutique riad — five historic riads woven together in the heart of the Kasbah, with a 2,000-square-metre rooftop terrace overlooking the Saadian Tombs, candlelit pools, and a Small Luxury Hotels of the World pedigree.

- Jardin Majorelle — a vivid cobalt-blue villa and botanical garden created by French artist Jacques Majorelle in 1924, later owned by Yves Saint Laurent, whose ashes were scattered here — a lush escape of cacti, bamboo and the exact shade of blue that now bears his name.
