Royal Mansour stands just a short walk to the west of the medina, in close reach of the Koutoubia Mosque, settled behind remains of the old city wall. The location couldn't be more central, yet the layout of the retreat makes it feel incredibly private and serene; you could be miles from the hustle and bustle. It's around a 20-minute walk north to Yves Saint Laurent's beautiful Majorelle Gardens.
By plane: flights to Marrakech from London and Manchester take around 4 hours 45 mins. The hotel is a 10-minute taxi ride from the airport. Free private parking on-site. Book flights to Marrakech.
Each and every detail seen is handmade, painted or carved, created from traditional Moroccan craftsmanship techniques. Rich in colour, mosaics and tapestry, it's hard not to be wowed by every element - from opulent marble and embroidered damask curtains to engraved mirrors and dazzling chandeliers; it's a stunning showcase of luxury throughout.
As you'd expect from a King's hotel, Royal Mansour is cleverly designed, ensuring that staff remain largely unseen, carrying out their duties via a network of underground tunnels and appearing at the service doors at your riad in a discreet fashion. Guests are treated to 24/7 access to a personal butler who can coordinate dinner reservations and arrange tours to the medina. Service throughout our stay was flawless.
