Best Hotels in Marrakech (2026)

Choosing where to stay in Marrakech comes down to the medina or the newer districts. Inside the walls, riads, traditional houses built around courtyards, offer atmosphere and easy walking access to the sights. Riad Kniza near Bab Doukkala and Dar Les Cigognes beside the Kasbah are small, well-run choices, El Fenn near the Koutoubia combines a riad setting with pools and a large roof terrace, and Hotel Sherazade and Riad Dar One are good-value options near Jemaa el-Fnaa and in the Mellah.

At the top end, La Mamounia has been the city's grand palace hotel since 1929, and the Royal Mansour offers private riads with their own courtyards. Families and those who want resort facilities often prefer Hivernage, where the Four Seasons Resort sits in extensive gardens near the Menara. Medina riads are reached on foot through narrow lanes, so ask your hotel to meet you at the nearest taxi drop-off. Book early for spring, autumn and school holidays, and check whether breakfast, transfers and city tax are included.
