Whimsical best describes this 12-acre fantasyland, where Indian and Moorish architecture collide and enormous suites and villas have contemporary Italian furnishings.
Swarovski-bedazzled curtains, mirrored and frescoed ceilings, a mint’s worth of gold leaf—all things you’ll find in the Palace’s 161 rooms. We loved the yoga classes at the spacious pavilion.
This gallery in Guéliz, owned by a Frenchwoman, represents international and Moroccan photographers.
There's a nice cafe on the roof: a good place to stop for a snack or a drink
A stunning confluence of carved cedar, zellij tile work, and ornate stucco from the 15th century. Brook a private tour and visit the tiny dormitory spaces where some of the 900-odd students lived.
Women's co-op, so all proceeds go to the women who hand make everything. Fabric imported largely from India. Truly one-of-a-kind pieces. Go here and be a socially conscious consumer.
Don’t be deterred by the name; inside, you’ll find an inviting indoor-outdoor lounge, rooms lined with novels and vintage design magazines, and a charming roof terrace.
What a great restaurant! Will be a hot spot in many style magazines to come. Recommended!
This rooftop café in the medina is a wonderful place for tea close to Djemaa el-Fna.
The most elegant Riad in the Medina. Very chic and beautiful designed. Impeccable service. A luxury oasis. Read more.
A real treasure that showcases Marrakshi-Andalusian architecture, popular in the late 19th century.
Chef Moha Fedal updates the palace restaurant experience—candlelit courtyards; Berber musicians; heaping platters of food—with lighter fare in Pierre Balmain’s former riad.
One of the most welcoming hotels ever! I cannot say anything bad about this place... Try the hammam (cheaper than those in the guide books) and no need to walk back through the medina...
Great design-store where you can buy all kinds of little gadgets or try on beautiful clothes. Prizes are west-european but the products are worth it!
The 12-acre botanical gardens owned by Yves Saint Laurent have colorful local flora, along with a small café, bookshop, and the Musée Berbère, with Berber art from the designer’s collection.
Marrakech: This luxury hotel served as the backdrop for our interview w/ Francis Ford Coppola during the 2010 Marrakech International Film Festival. Read more.
Behind black shutter doors in Guéliz, Le Loft serves bistro standards executed to perfection (not to mention a mean mojito). Le tout Marrakech table-hops in the dining room and on the front terrace.
If you're American and haven't had a very good hamburger in a while, order one here. They're as good or better than many restaurants in the US. Not so much the frites though.
This clean-lined resort offers discrete adults’ and kids’ pools; a boutique curated by top local stylist Laetitia Trouillet, who stages pop-up “souks” at the hotel; and flawless service.
Great place to relax , everything is chosen with taste and the staff make you feel like a million bucks
Poulet strogonov est excellent par rapport au Prix ... Et pour les gourmant Prennez le Medaillon de Poulet :-)
Hidden gem! One of the best restaurants I've ever set foot. Poached pear and Chocolate Fondant are definitely a MUST TRY. One of the best Moroccan cuisines in Marrakech!
Amazing place for a traditional Spa experience. Staff is kind and the place is absolutely gorgeous. Really worth it. Need to reserve.
Pretty expensive but nice place. No alcohol is served outside (at least not on the Saturdaynight we were there). Inside they do.
The duty free shops only take Euros or cards, and there are no exchange shops once through security. So if you want to buy anything other than sandwiches, change your Dirham before going through
Avoid the street sellers, henna tattoo women and other tourist traps. Just say 'Merci' and keep walking. You really should try the orange juice from the many juice stalls, it's totally refreshing!
If you're in Morocco, do some cooking with Gemma. Fantastic day of buying ingredients at the markets, learning about the food and spices, cooking the Moroccan way: then eating it all! Brilliant day.
Never pay full price for anything, go in at least half price! Ignore people giving directions, they'll make you pay! It's more fun to get lost! A large bottle of water should cost 6 dirham max!
A great place for a dinner with a show; the only issue is that ... Everything is really dark there ;-) we couldn't see our dishes.
This is the place to come for a champagne brunch and party. Spend the day lounging by the pool.
Nice place but with problems: the service is slow, the waiters don't look the tables, wifi doesn't work and on the menu is always missing something
