Where to stay in Marrakech

01

Amanjena

Marrakech

Pavilions around a vast reflecting pool among olive groves outside the city, inspired by the red-earth architecture of Marrakech.

02

El Fenn

Marrakech

From $239/ night

A group of interconnected riads near Jemaa el-Fna, full of contemporary art and with one of the best rooftops in the city.

04

Riad Kniza

Marrakech

From $255/ night

An 18th-century family house in the medina, run by an antiques dealer and filled with fine Moroccan craftsmanship.

Marrakech is Morocco's most theatrical city, with the snake charmers and food stalls of Jemaa el-Fna, the souks of the medina and the gardens of the Majorelle and the Agdal. Its riads are the reason many people come: behind a plain wall, a courtyard with orange trees, a plunge pool and a rooftop terrace with views of the Atlas.

Where to stay

The medina puts you in the middle of everything, and the quieter Kasbah quarter near the Saadian Tombs is a good compromise. For space and gardens, look at the Palmeraie and the estates on the road to the Atlas.

Good to know

Most medina riads can't be reached by car; staff will meet you with a handcart. October to May is the best time to visit; summer afternoons regularly exceed 100°F.
