“Steps from the Gueliz gallery scene, the 198-room Radisson Blu Hotel Marrakech Carré Eden features a D.J.-fueled lounge with cocktails based on local ingredients, a boutique of neo-Moorish design and much besides.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Marrakech, Morocco.
“What do you get if you cross Italian furniture designers with Marrakshi craftsmanship? An achingly cool hideaway where art deco Mamounia mirrors meet silk kaftans hung as art, and zouak (painted wood) ceilings merge with retro lamps.”
“At the Royal Mansour Marrakech, located inside the medina, the draw is privacy—its beautifully tiled riads have their own pools dotting lush gardens that are made for afternoon strolls. It’s a swoon-worthy showpiece of Moroccan decorative art.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2020 Gold List.
“The bougainvillea-filled grounds at the grand La Mamounia, inside Marrakech’s medina, are as lovely as those of its neighbors, though Jacques Garcia’s sultry, layered interiors are the real star.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2020 Gold List.
“The white-on-white lobby at retro retreat Es Saadi feels opulent rather than minimal; it’s both a little kitschy and throwback glamorous. Think of it as a primer for the rest of this swank and storied complex, set just beyond the medina.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2020 Gold List.
“It’s at the supremely stylish L’Hôtel Marrakech, where the rooms have striped vintage chairs and pieces from the Yves Saint Laurent collection, that Jasper Conran has realized his lifelong dream to open a hotel.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2020 Gold List.
“A winning hostel with a wide choice of private and dorm rooms, a large pool, restaurant, hammam and a huge roof terrace, all set in a series of traditional houses in the heart of the medina. It offers a mix of dorms and private bedrooms, all nicely decorated and well maintained.”
“Madcap Djemaa El Fna is around the corner, but Le Gallia maintains the calm and grace of another era with comfortable, neat-as-a-pin rooms, all with air-con, heating and reliable hot water.”
“In the teeming pedestrians-only center of the city, Riad Star offers a quiet and cosseting retreat. Its celebrity history provides a fascinating back story, while personal service manages to make the hotel feel like home.”
“In the heart of the medina’s Derb Debachi neighborhood, the vintage-cool Riad Lamzia opened in 2015 with six rooms, a roof deck and a courtyard lounge filled with turntables, typewriters, dial telephones and other retro finds.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Marrakech, Morocco.
“Riad Azoulay is a haven of casual luxury where original cedar ceilings and plasterwork decor sit comfortably alongside modern art, painted-wood antique furniture and sumptuously coloured kilims.”
