Best Luxury 5 Star Hotels in Marrakech-Safi

If you like to be at the heart of the action, this hotel in the heart of the Medina is for you. Les Jardins de La Koutoubia is a 13th-century building, close to Jemaâ el Fna Square. The traditional riad incorporates 108 rooms (30 Mini Suites, 22 Junior Suites and two Royal Suites). There are heated indoor and outdoor pools, a Spa by Carita, patios and gardens to unwind. Guests have several dining options; the panoramic Les Jardins de Bala, the Relais de Paris Restaurant, a snack bar and a piano bar for evening entertainment.

Nestled in a vast estate of 231 hectares of palm, olive and orange trees with the Atlas Mountains offering a postcard backdrop, the Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech is an oasis of luxury only 20 minutes from the heart of the city. The sprawling resort and country club offers anything a guest could desire, with an 18-hole golf course, a choice of six restaurants and bars, a huge lake-like swimming pool, and an incredible spa plus a kid’s club and fitness centre, you won’t ever need to leave the hotel! The hotel’s architecture mirrors the ksars of the Southern desert regions. The interior décor is equally stunning with an abundance of huge picture windows showcasing the landscaped gardens beautifully. In rooms, a mix of warming, tonal textures and textiles have been used to create a contemporary interpretation of Moroccan style. The cuisine hasn’t been overlooked here either. Breakfast on the terrace of Le Capricci overlooking the pools and gardens, before trying L’Olivier for al Fresco lunch by the pool. The evening calls for the opulent Al Ain restaurant for an Oriental feast before finishing your day in the jazz bar for some delectable cocktails.

Art, French luxury and Moroccan culture are the key principles at the heart of this hotel’s design and philosophy. It’s located in the Hivernage district, with views of the Atlas Mountains. The minimalist chambers are bathed in white textiles, with tataoui bedheads, MyBed double beds, BOSE sound systems, espresso machines and Hermès toiletries products. By contrast, the styling in the spa takes on a more traditional theme, with mosaics and lanterns inside the pool area and an outdoor terrace that’s evocative of a Majorelle garden. Sofitel also offers a gym, an outdoor pool and bars.
