An iconic destination — Marrakech —an equally iconic location — a 'medina within the medina' —a Moroccan palace like no other —the Royal Mansour. If you seek authenticity, beauty, and serenity in your travels, look no further.
Built into the medieval walls of Marrakech and made up of 53 luxurious riads, each with its own unique charm, the Royal Mansour is not just another luxury hotel in Morocco; it is a philosophy, a feeling, and a state of mind. The hotel not only captures the essence of Morocco but is also a place of moments made memorable simply because they break the ordinary and open up the possibility of chance encounters with a different version of yourself. Royal Mansour holds a special place in my heart.
Your room here is not just a traditional hotel room but your very own little world. Spread over three floors and decorated with velvet, silk, brocade, and organza, your riad has a private entry courtyard with a fountain, plunge pool, and sun deck. Nowhere did I love my morning coffee more than in the privacy and stillness of those spaces.
A Good Beginning Bodes Well
Your journey at the Royal Mansour begins the moment you step off the plane. A dedicated staff member greets you, guides you through the fast-track process, and escorts you to your private transfer. As you arrive at the hotel, you will be captured by the scent of the myriad fruit trees that permanently permeates its grounds.
Mirroring the layout of the narrow alleyways of the Moroccan medinas, the riads at the Royal Mansour are a marvel of design and craftsmanship. Each one is a unique blend of intricate detailing, bespoke furniture, and exquisite accessories.
Shaded paths wind through lush Andalusian-style gardens,leading you to the spa, a glazed pavilion encircled by a moat.
With its 2,500 m² spread over three floors, the Spa Royal Mansour Marrakech is a sanctuary entirely dedicated to your senses. It has an indoor and outdoor pool, wellness center, and hammam; the wonderful spa atrium, done up in white latticework, is a masterpiece of its own. Delicate rose, sweet almond, and orange flower aromas permeate the air.
Within the hotel gardens, three restaurants celebrate the country's heritage, serving beautifully prepared dishes boasting inventive combinations and unique flavors. Each table, whether Moroccan, Italian, French or Asian, carries the signature of a great chef and promises an unforgettable sensory journey.
The all-day La Table has outside seating by the pool, and two dinner venues tended by white-gloved staff—La Grande Table Française and La Grande Table Marocaine—are located on two sides of a blue-themed courtyard.
Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home
As in the lyrics of a famous song, 'Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home.' Royal Monsour was home. The day I left, I had only one wish on my mind: to visit again and stay much, much longer.
