Your guide to the best luxury hotels and suites in Marrakech
Mandarin Oriental Marrakech · Sidi Youssef Ben AliThe second thing worth knowing is where they are. Marrakech has spread south and west, and much of its luxury hotel stock stands outside the old city: in the Palmeraie, beside the golf courses, or simply at kilometre 5 and kilometre 12 of the Amizmiz road. Only one of the twelve is inside the Medina.With every booking through suitespot you receive a comprehensive package of suitespot benefits:
- Complimentary breakfast for two
- Room upgrade subject to availability
- Up to 100 USD hotel credit per stay
- Early check-in and late check-out subject to availability
- Standard points and status benefits in the hotel programmes
At the top: the Royal Mansour (from around 1,565 €), the Mandarin Oriental on the Route du Golf Royal (870 €), The Oberoi on the Ouarzazate road (610 €), the Selman at kilometre 5 (555 €) and La Mamounia on Avenue Bab Jdid (510 €).
In the middle: the Ksar Char-Bagh in the Palmeraie (400 €), the Nobu Hotel (366 €), the Park Hyatt at Al Maaden (350 €) and the Villa des Orangers (295 €), the only address inside the Medina. Below that, the Palais Ronsard (285 €), the Fairmont Royal Palm at kilometre 12 (280 €) and the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial in Hivernage (200 €), the lowest entry rate of the selection.
How close to the city centre are they really?
A steady share of the searches reaching this page ask for a luxury hotel near the city centre of Marrakech. It is the right question to ask here, because several well-known addresses are considerably further out than their reputation suggests.
Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial · HivernageOnly one property in our selection is inside the Medina: the Villa des Orangers (from around 295 €), on Rue Sidi Mimoun. Immediately outside the walls stand La Mamounia on Avenue Bab Jdid (510 €) and the Royal Mansour on Rue Abou Abbas El Sebti (1,565 €) — both are frequently taken for Medina hotels and neither is one, though both are very close.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThe next ring out is Hivernage, the modern quarter: the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial (200 €) and the Nobu Hotel (366 €), wide avenues and a short run into the old city.
Then the distances become real. The Selman is at kilometre 5 of the Amizmiz road (555 €) and the Fairmont Royal Palm at kilometre 12 (280 €) — from there, count twenty to thirty minutes by car to Jemaa el-Fna. The Oberoi is on the Ouarzazate road (610 €), and the Ksar Char-Bagh, Park Hyatt and Mandarin Oriental sit among the gardens and golf courses. None of that is a drawback if your stay is built around a garden and a pool. It is one if you want to walk to dinner.
Luxury hotels in Marrakech by area: where to stay?
Distance from the old city is the figure that shapes a stay here more than any other.
Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech · NzalaThese four areas cover all twelve properties.
The Medina and its walls
The Villa des Orangers (from around 295 €) on Rue Sidi Mimoun is the only address in our selection inside the Medina. Just outside the wall stand La Mamounia (510 €) and the Royal Mansour (1,565 €) — the two palace hotels the city is best known for.
Hivernage: the modern quarter
The Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial (from around 200 €), the lowest entry rate of the selection, and the Nobu Hotel (366 €) on Avenue Echouhada. Broad avenues and short journeys into the Medina.
The Palmeraie and the golf courses
The Ksar Char-Bagh in the Palmeraie (from around 400 €), the Park Hyatt at Al Maaden (350 €) and the Mandarin Oriental on the Route du Golf Royal (870 €). Gardens, private pools and space — at the cost of needing a car for everything.
The southern roads: kilometre 5 and kilometre 12
Check the address before booking. The Selman is at kilometre 5 of the Amizmiz road (from around 555 €), the Fairmont Royal Palm at kilometre 12 (280 €); The Oberoi is on the Ouarzazate road (610 €) and the Palais Ronsard also outside the centre (285 €).
Suites, courtyards and Atlas views
Marrakech is the city in our portfolio where the largest rooms reach sizes that simply do not occur elsewhere, and where the kind of outlook changes completely with the area.
La Mamounia Marrakech · Arset El BilkBy floor area the order is unambiguous: the Royal Mansour up to 1,800 m², The Oberoi up to 985 m², the Ksar Char-Bagh up to 750 m², the Selman up to 700 m², the Mandarin Oriental 423 m² and the Park Hyatt 414 m². These are pavilions and houses within a walled garden rather than city-hotel suites. By number of categories, La Mamounia leads with 32 — its suites are named after the city and its history: Agdal, Koutoubia, Majorelle, Hivernage, Churchill, Al Mamoun and Baldaquin.
On the Atlas view, precision matters: only four properties list it as a room category at all. The Mandarin Oriental has a category named expressly Atlas Mountain View; the Sofitel Palais Impérial offers the most combinations (pool and Atlas, Atlas or pool, plus a Hivernage view); the Fairmont Royal Palm has a Golf and Atlas View; and the Park Hyatt a mountain view. At the other eight the view may exist depending on floor and orientation, but it cannot be booked as such — we pass it on as a preference without promising it.
One detail sums the city up: the Villa des Orangers, the only house inside the Medina, is also the only one with a courtyard view category. In the old city you do not look out; you look in.
What a luxury hotel in Marrakech costs
Entry rates run from about 200 € at the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial to 1,565 € at the Royal Mansour, with a median of roughly 400 € per night.
Read alone, that median misleads, because the distribution is very uneven. Four properties start below 310 € — the Sofitel (200 €), the Fairmont Royal Palm (280 €), the Palais Ronsard (285 €) and the Villa des Orangers (295 €) — and four more between 350 and 560 €. Above that sit only the Mandarin Oriental (870 €) and the Royal Mansour (1,565 €).
It is worth cross-reading that list with the previous one. The Fairmont Royal Palm is among the four cheapest and stands at kilometre 12: part of what you save you pay back in journeys. The Villa des Orangers is equally affordable and inside the Medina, though it is a considerably smaller house.
At a median entry rate of 400 € a night, the hotel credit of up to 100 USD and breakfast for two included in every suitespot booking cover a reasonable share of a short stay — and at the larger garden properties, where breakfast is served outside, that is not a minor point.
Morocco beyond Marrakech
A good share of the searches reaching this page ask about Morocco rather than Marrakech, so here is the full picture. Our selection in the country runs to 36 properties, and Marrakech is by far the largest group with these twelve.
Next come Rabat with four and Casablanca with three, then Tangier, Agadir, Fez, Taghazout and Fnideq with two each. Single addresses follow in Essaouira, El Jadida, Meknes, M'diq, Diabat and Rabat-Salé, plus one in the Atlas mountains themselves. An itinerary combining Marrakech with the Atlantic coast or the imperial cities is among the most frequent requests we receive for Morocco, and we book it as a single file.
In Marrakech itself, what our travel advisors arrange most often is the part where local knowledge decides the day: guides for the Medina and the souks, tables at the houses in the Palmeraie, and transfers — which at the kilometre 5 and kilometre 12 addresses are worth fixing in advance rather than improvising.
As a suitespot guest you travel with VIP status: we pass your preferences to the hotel before you arrive — in Marrakech, most often an orientation towards the garden or the Atlas. Every property includes breakfast for two, an upgrade subject to availability and up to 100 USD hotel credit.

Frequently asked questions about luxury hotels in Marrakech
How much does a luxury hotel in Marrakech cost?
Entry rates for our 12 properties run from around 200 € per night at the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial to 1,565 € at the Royal Mansour. The median is roughly 400 € per night.
That figure needs care, because the Royal Mansour starts at almost three times the second most expensive house. Leaving it aside, the city is far more accessible than it looks: nine of the twelve start below 570 € and four below 310 € — the Sofitel (200 €), the Fairmont Royal Palm (280 €), the Palais Ronsard (285 €) and the Villa des Orangers (295 €). With suitespot you always book at direct rates, and the benefits worth more than 500 € come on top.
Which luxury hotels are close to the city centre?
Only one of our twelve is inside the Medina: the Villa des Orangers (from around 295 €), on Rue Sidi Mimoun. Immediately outside the walls stand La Mamounia (510 €) and the Royal Mansour (1,565 €), both within easy reach of Jemaa el-Fna.
The next closest are the two in Hivernage: the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial (200 €) and the Nobu Hotel (366 €). Everything else needs a car — and in two cases a real drive: the Selman at kilometre 5 of the Amizmiz road and the Fairmont Royal Palm at kilometre 12, which is twenty to thirty minutes from the square depending on traffic.
Which hotels in Marrakech have the largest suites?
The Royal Mansour, with units of up to 1,800 m², followed by The Oberoi (985 m²), the Ksar Char-Bagh (750 m²) and the Selman (700 m²). Then come the Mandarin Oriental (423 m²) and the Park Hyatt (414 m²).
In most of those cases these are not city-hotel suites but pavilions or houses within a walled garden, in some cases with a private pool. By number of categories, however, the widest choice is at La Mamounia with 32 — suites named Agdal, Koutoubia, Majorelle, Hivernage, Churchill and Al Mamoun. Tell us how many of you are travelling and what the space is for, and we will compare the actual floor plans.
Do I earn points and status in Marrakech?
At seven of the twelve. ALL covers two (the Sofitel Palais Impérial and the Fairmont Royal Palm), the Leaders Club two more (La Mamounia and the Royal Mansour), and Fans of Mandarin Oriental, Oberoi One and World of Hyatt one each.
The other five — the Villa des Orangers, the Palais Ronsard, the Ksar Char-Bagh, the Nobu Hotel and the Selman — take part in no loyalty programme. That says nothing about the houses themselves; there is simply no points scheme for us to credit. If you are collecting in a particular programme, tell us and we will start there.
Which hotels in Marrakech are palace hotels?
Two are palace hotels in the full sense and both stand just outside the Medina walls: La Mamounia on Avenue Bab Jdid (from around 510 €) and the Royal Mansour on Rue Abou Abbas El Sebti (1,565 €). La Mamounia has the deepest room list in the city with 32 categories; the Royal Mansour has the largest units, up to 1,800 m², and is the only one of the twelve with a review of our own, rated 4.7.
Other houses carry the word in their name — the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial in Hivernage (200 €) and the Palais Ronsard (285 €) — but they are a different proposition and, in the Sofitel's case, the lowest entry rate we list. Ask us to compare them side by side rather than by name.
Which hotels have an Atlas mountain view?
Four of the twelve list the mountain view as an actual room category. The Mandarin Oriental has a category named Atlas Mountain View; the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial offers the most combinations (pool and Atlas, Atlas or pool, plus a Hivernage view); the Fairmont Royal Palm has a Golf and Atlas View; and the Park Hyatt at Al Maaden a mountain view.
At the other eight the view may be there depending on floor and orientation, but it cannot be reserved as a category. In those cases we pass your request to the hotel as a preference before arrival without being able to guarantee it — we would rather say that in advance.
Which hotel in Marrakech is genuinely in the Medina?
Exactly one: the Villa des Orangers (from around 295 €), on Rue Sidi Mimoun. It is also the only property in our selection with a courtyard view room category — which is precisely how the old city is built.
La Mamounia and the Royal Mansour are often taken for Medina hotels, but by their addresses they stand outside the walls, on Avenue Bab Jdid and Rue Abou Abbas El Sebti respectively. Very close, but not inside. Every other property is clearly beyond the old city — in Hivernage, in the Palmeraie, beside the golf courses or on the roads heading south.
What other luxury hotels are there in Morocco?
Our Moroccan selection runs to 36 properties, with Marrakech the largest group at twelve. Next come Rabat with four and Casablanca with three.
Two properties each stand in Tangier, Agadir, Fez, Taghazout and Fnideq, with single addresses in Essaouira, El Jadida, Meknes, M'diq, Diabat and Rabat-Salé, plus one in the Atlas mountains. Itineraries combining Marrakech with the Atlantic coast or the imperial cities are among the most requested for Morocco, and our travel advisors book them as a single file.
