Mansour Marrakech
Hyper-private, maximalist Moroccan palace. Think regal grandeur over boutique restraint — every surface is hand-crafted, every detail obsessed over. But it's warm, not stuffy.
Book direct — it includes airport fast-track, private transfers, and breakfast, which easily saves $200+ per day
Why It Matters
Ranked 13th best hotel in the world and Best Hotel in Africa at the World's 50 Best Hotels 2025. The only hotel in the world built as a functioning medina with 53 completely private riads. Two restaurants featured in La Liste 1000 2025. Owned and personally commissioned by King Mohammed VI.
Built by King Mohammed VI and opened in 2010, the Royal Mansour Marrakech is a private medina within the medina — 53 fully independent riads spread across five hectares, connected by winding alleys and secret doors. You don't check into a room here; you get handed the keys to your own palace. Each riad rises three floors, blending carved plaster, handmade zelliges, Baccarat chandeliers, and silk carpets woven by local artisans. And staff literally move through underground tunnels to serve you without ever disrupting the illusion of total privacy.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Grand Riad
The single grandest accommodation — 1,800 sqm, four bedrooms, a private swimming pool, a private hammam, and a garden. Adorned with haute couture fabrics and fine artworks, this is effectively a celebrity estate. It's regularly booked by heads of state and A-list guests who require that level of seclusion. Views from the rooftop pool bar take in the Atlas Mountains. One of a kind on the property.
1800 sqm
Premier Riad
Nineteen riads at 175 sqm across three floors. The step up from Superior adds a covered lounge to the open-air patio and more generous living space. The material palette — imperial textures, hand-dyed fabrics, maâlem (master craftsman) woodwork — intensifies noticeably at this tier. Good choice for those who want extra breathing room without jumping to multi-bedroom territory.
175 sqm
Prestige Riad
Four riads at 840 sqm — at this scale, 'riad' barely covers it. Three bedrooms, Moroccan lounges, a bar, a library, and a private hammam. Only four exist on the property, making these rare even by Royal Mansour standards. The private hammam alone justifies the step up if you plan to spend meaningful time in the spa.
840 sqm
Privilege Riad
The two-bedroom sweet spot for small families or groups who want full-on privacy. At 430 sqm, these 14 riads include two bedrooms, multiple lounges, a private bar, and dedicated butler service. You can take breakfast in your private lounge, have dinner on the roof, or just disappear into the thing entirely. The upgrade in scale is dramatic — nearly triple the size of a Superior riad.
430 sqm
Superior Riad
The entry-level option — though 'entry-level' means a fully independent three-storey private home. At 140 sqm, the Superior riad is ideal for couples or solo travelers. You get a patio, bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, and a roof terrace with Atlas Mountain views. Each of the 15 Superior riads has its own distinct décor built around Moroccan craftsmanship: subtly varying zelliges, carved plaster, and custom-made furniture.
