Where to stay in Marrakech?
Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
The Medina
Best for Historic atmosphereThe ancient, walled heart of Marrakech is home to traditional riads, bustling souks, and historic landmarks like Jemaa el-Fnaa. Staying here offers immediate access to the city's vibrant street life and architectural heritage.
Hivernage
Best for Upscale dining and nightlifeA leafy, modern neighbourhood characterised by wide avenues, upscale international restaurants, and high-end cocktail lounges. It provides a peaceful, luxurious alternative to the Medina while remaining within walking distance of the historic walls.
Outer Estates & Golf Resorts
Best for Tranquility and leisurePositioned along the scenic routes leading out of Marrakech, these expansive resorts offer golf courses, mountain views, and quiet luxury. These properties are ideal for travellers seeking immense space and privacy away from the urban bustle.
Areas to consider
Be aware that resorts located deep in the outskirts require private drivers or lengthy taxi rides for daily dining and sightseeing in the historic Medina.

Luxury hotels in Marrakech – 3 details you did not know
11 Recommended Hotels
Why this position: Among the three highest guest scores of the 11 hotels we rank here — 9.7 from 551 reviews. Leads the ranking on hotel class (5★ to 0★), with guest scores close behind.
The Oberoi Marrakech is designed for couples and luxury purists seeking absolute tranquillity and grand Andalusian-inspired design. Rated exceptionally by guests on both Booking.com and Google, the estate features citrus orchards and private plunge pools in most villas. The lake-facing spa is a notable highlight. On the downside, the property is located far from the historic Medina, and dining at the on-site restaurants comes at a premium.
Why this position: Highest guest score of the 11 hotels we rank here — 9.9 from 794 reviews. Guests rate it above #1 (9.9 to 9.7), but #1 is a 5-star hotel to its 0, and the ranking weighs the class.
Riad Les Nuits de Marrakech is outstanding for couples wanting an intimate, highly rated sanctuary right inside the historic centre. Winning almost unanimous praise from guests on Booking.com, this riad features a panoramic terrace overlooking the Medina and fast eighty-eight megabit wireless internet. Freshly prepared traditional breakfasts are served daily. However, there is no on-site fitness centre, and guests may experience potential noise from nearby streets.
Why this position: Rests on more guest reviews than #2 (802 to 794), at a slightly lower score (9.4 to 9.9).
Palais Tara & Spa is excellent for wellness seekers who want a classic riad experience with dual swimming options. Adored by guests on Booking.com, the property offers a comprehensive traditional hammam, daily yoga sessions, and dual indoor and rooftop pools. In-room espresso machines add convenience. Be aware that historic medina constraints mean there is limited vehicle access, and the property has a small physical footprint.
Why this position: Scores higher than #3 (9.6 to 9.4), on a smaller body of reviews (47 to 802).
Amanjena Resort is best for travellers who value complete privacy, sports facilities, and serene Moorish architecture. Clay-court tennis facilities and quiet reflection pools define the peaceful grounds. Keep in mind its distance from the central Medina, alongside a high premium charged for on-site services.
Why this position: Rests on more guest reviews than #4 (148 to 47), at a slightly lower score (9.3 to 9.6).
Park Hyatt Marrakech is perfect for modern design lovers who appreciate extensive leisure facilities outside the bustling city. Guests rate this hotel superbly on Booking.com and Google. Guests enjoy four distinct outdoor swimming pools and spacious rooms with private terraces. However, some travellers find the formal and minimalist architectural style lacking in traditional warmth, and the resort is located far from the central Medina.
Why this position: The largest body of guest feedback on this page: 1,313 reviews, averaging 9.4. Guests on Booking rate it above #5 (9.4 to 9.3), but #5 leads on Google (4.7 to 4.6), which the ranking weighs equally.
Dar Rhizlane is best for travellers seeking a quiet, romantic garden oasis within a more peaceful neighbourhood. It is one of the best-reviewed stays in the city, drawing praise for its lush, secluded garden setting, serene pool, and refined Moroccan fine dining. It blends authentic Moorish architectural details seamlessly. Travellers should note its distance from the main Medina, and some may find the in-room technology is slightly dated.
Why this position: Sits behind #6 on both the score (9.1 to 9.4) and the sample it rests on (252 to 1,313 reviews).
Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech is perfect for golf enthusiasts and scenery lovers wanting a self-contained resort experience. Very warmly reviewed on Booking.com and Google, the property offers seven on-site restaurants, five swimming pools, and extensive mountain views. Spacious rooms feature private terraces for quiet evenings. Note that it sits far from the medina centre, and on-site dining prices are noticeably higher than local spots.
Why this position: Scores higher than #7 (9.4 to 9.1), on a smaller body of reviews (76 to 252).
Royal Mansour Marrakech is best for travellers seeking traditional, high-end Moroccan design and world-class relaxation. This five-star sanctuary is rated superbly by guests on Booking.com and Google. Guests highly praise the outstanding spa and hammam, alongside the superb craftsmanship of the private riads. However, the multi-level layout of these riads means you must navigate plenty of stairs, and some visitors have reported inconsistent service when the property is fully booked.
Why this position: Rests on more guest reviews than #8 (623 to 76), at a slightly lower score (9.2 to 9.4).
Four Seasons Resort Marrakech is ideal for families and wellness seekers who want space and resort amenities close to the city. A consistent favourite in guest reviews on Booking.com and Google, this hotel is set within a 40-acre landscaped garden. Highlights include separated family and adult swimming pools, plus excellent spa facilities. A key drawback is the physical distance from the central Medina's souks, and its modern architecture lacks the intimacy of a traditional riad.
Why this position: Sits behind #9 on both the score (9.0 to 9.2) and the sample it rests on (166 to 623 reviews).
Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech is well-suited to couples desiring modern luxury blended with classic Berber-Arabic style. Guests can wander through extensive rose and olive gardens or visit the Moroccan spa. However, its distance from the central Medina requires reliance on buggies for navigating the resort.
La Maison Arabe Hotel, Spa & Cooking Workshops
Marrakech, Morocco
Why this position: Guests on Booking rate it above #10 (9.4 to 9.0), but #10 leads on Google (4.6 to 4.5), which the ranking weighs equally.
La Maison Arabe Hotel, Spa & Cooking Workshops is best for culinary enthusiasts and cultural travellers who want to stay in the heart of the action. Adored by guests on Booking.com, this five-star riad features renowned cooking workshops, fireplaces in rooms, and two garden pools. It sits in a central Medina location near Jamaâ El Fna. However, vehicle access is highly limited within the Medina streets, and views vary significantly across room categories.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
