10 best hotels in Marrakech, from sprawling luxury resorts to design-led riads

Riads allow you to have a small slice of luxury in the bustling city - (David Dumon)

Marrakech is Morocco’s main tourism destination and furnished with a huge array of accommodation – from historic riads rich in character to luxury, five-star hotels and huge all-inclusive resorts surrounded by luscious gardens. The best of these places showcase Moroccan hospitality at its finest and book up quickly in high season, which includes spring, early summer, October half-term and during Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Where you stay is a big factor in what sort of experience you’ll have – so think about whether you’d prefer the character and close quarters of a riad guesthouse in the hustle and bustle of the Medina or the respite of a large garden, pool and resort-style facilities. For those who fall in the love with Marrakech and plan on returning regularly – as many do – this variety makes for endlessly diverse experiences each time you return.
