Marrakech is North Africa's luxury capital – home to palace hotels, riads, and world-renowned names like Royal Mansour and La Mamounia. But if you are looking for all-inclusive in the Red City, there is one thing you need to know.
We have cross-checked the city's hotels against Booking.com, and the truth is that genuine all-inclusive simply does not exist in Marrakech's luxury segment. The palace hotels and riads operate on bed and breakfast, half board, or à la carte bases – the few properties advertising all-inclusive do not measure up to true luxury standards. If you want a proper all-inclusive holiday in Morocco, Agadir on the Atlantic coast is the place to go.
But if you are choosing Marrakech for the city's sheer magic – here are the seven best luxury hotels in Marrakech, strictly selected with guest ratings of at least 9.2.
1Marrakech, Morocco
The Oberoi Marrakech tops the list with a 9.7 score on Booking.com – one of the world's most acclaimed city hotels. The Andalusian-inspired architecture is reflected in still, mirror-like pools, surrounded by citrus groves.
Most villas feature their own private plunge pool, and the lakeside spa is among the city's finest. The peace here is absolute, despite the medina being only a short drive away.
This is Marrakech luxury in its most perfect form – discreet, grand, and uncompromising.
2Marrakech, Morocco
Royal Mansour is the King's own hotel – literally. Built at the behest of Mohammed VI as a showcase of Moroccan craftsmanship, boasting a 9.6 rating on Booking.com.
You do not stay in rooms, but in your own three-storey riads, attended to by staff who move invisibly through the hotel's underground tunnels.
The spa and hammam are world-class. Quite simply, this is one of the most exclusive hotels in the world.
3Marrakech, Morocco
Amanjena was the Aman Group's first resort in Africa – a rose-hued palace of Moorish arches and reflecting pools just outside the city (9.6 on Booking.com).
Every pavilion features its own private pool, and the clay tennis courts are among the region's finest. The atmosphere is Aman's signature: an almost meditative serenity.
For those seeking total privacy with the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, there is no better choice.
4Marrakech, Morocco
Fairmont Royal Palm is located twenty minutes from the city on a vast estate with a golf course and the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop (9.3 on Booking.com).
Five pools, seven restaurants, and spacious rooms with private terraces make it Marrakech's most complete resort experience.
Perfect for those wishing to combine the city's sights with proper resort days – and perhaps a round of golf.
5Marrakech, Morocco
Park Hyatt Marrakech at the Al Maaden Golf Resort combines contemporary design with Moroccan artisanal details (9.3 on Booking.com, 4.7 on Google).
Four outdoor pools, a fully equipped spa, and several refined restaurants – all with the golf course and mountains right on your doorstep.
A stylish choice for those who want international five-star standards with local character.
6Marrakech, Morocco
Four Seasons Resort Marrakech is set within 16 hectares of landscaped gardens next to the Menara Gardens, just minutes from both the medina and Gueliz (9.2 on Booking.com).
Separate pools for families and adults, a comprehensive wellness centre, and the legendary service that Four Seasons is famous for.
The location is the most practical on the list – offering a resort feel with the city within easy reach.
7Marrakech, Morocco
Mandarin Oriental Marrakech completes the list – 58 private villas in Berber-Arabic style spread across 20 hectares of rose and olive gardens (9.2 on Booking.com).
Every villa features its own private pool and hot tub, and the spa with its traditional hammam is one of the city's most lavish. Five restaurants cater to every culinary desire.
With the Atlas Mountains on the horizon and Jemaa el-Fna just ten minutes away, you get both seclusion and accessibility.
