Royal Mansour Marrakech

Fit for royalty (and literally so, since it was commissioned by the King, with no budget), the Royal Mansour is one of the most opulent of all of Marrakech’s hyper-luxurious hotels. Every room is a riad – with shaded patios, private pools, mosaic floors and terraces that overlook the Atlas Mountains – joined up by winding alleyways that reflect the city beyond, and a lush garden at the edge of the Medina, perfect for palm-shaded pool days.
