Mandarin Oriental Marrakech
OVERVIEW
The Mandarin Oriental Marrakech is a five-star Morocco hotel that needs little introduction, such is the esteem in which this timeless resort is quite rightly held. There are many reasons to book a room here; first, you’ll be positioned just moments from Marrakech’s famous Medina, so day trips and excursions to the souks, galleries and museums of the city could not be easier. Then, back within the Mandarin Oriental’s magical walls you have decorative pools lined with palm trees and daybeds, landscaped gardens to walk through, fine dining restaurants for lazy afternoons and interior design touches that incorporate the best of new and old-world Moroccan styles.
When it comes to your own ‘contemporary riad’ abode at the Mandarin Oriental Marrakech, the story continues, as every suite and villa comes with a generous terrace and either a private plunge pool or full lap pool, gardens and sun loungers, some with a Jacuzzi and in-room Hammam, all with a marble bathtub and steam shower, plus plenty more. The décor is again just as evocative, and then there’s the spa: a 1,800sqm sanctuary of traditional treatments, gardens, beauty salon services and a luxe indoor swimming pool, gym and yoga studio too. Put all this together with nearly three attentive Mandarin Oriental staff for every guest, that prime location, facilities for children and access to two nearby golf courses, and you know that it can only be the Mandarin Oriental Marrakech.

Where to stay
Every villa and suite at the Mandarin Oriental Marrakech has its own unique, beautiful features that make each as appealing as the next. So where one suite may have a larger floorplan and Atlas Mountain views, its neighbouring villa could enjoy a more outdoor space or internal courtyard, so you really cannot lose. Every option comes with a terrace and private plunge pool, as well as marble bathrooms and plush king-size bed. The décor scheme throughout is the same fusion of modern and traditional riad stylings that can be found elsewhere around the Mandarin Oriental, so beautiful mosaic tiles and keyhole archways blend with smart-room controls, a contemporary bath, steam shower and plentiful mod-cons.
