Where to stay in Marrakech
Medina
Step into Marrakech's ancient Medina, a UNESCO treasure where history breathes through ochre walls and narrow alleyways. The bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa square pulses with storytellers and market vendors beneath the watchful Koutoubia minaret. Traditional riads hide peaceful courtyards behind ornate wooden doors. Lose yourself in labyrinthine souks where artisans craft leather, textiles, and metalwork using centuries-old techniques. Visit the intricate Bahia Palace or find tranquility in Le Jardin Secret's geometric gardens. The Medina offers authentic Moroccan culture through its architecture, cuisine, and daily rituals.
Gueliz
Gueliz offers a sophisticated escape from traditional Marrakech with its French colonial charm and cosmopolitan vibe. Tree-lined Avenue Mohammed V showcases art deco buildings housing designer boutiques and contemporary galleries. The cobalt blue walls of Majorelle Garden create a peaceful oasis amid the bustling district. This area balances European elegance with Moroccan influences through upscale dining and vibrant cultural venues. Visitors can explore the Yves Saint Laurent Museum or enjoy mint tea at stylish café terraces. Wide boulevards and proximity to Marrakech's train station make this modern district easily accessible.
Hivernage
Hivernage stands as Marrakech's most exclusive area where luxury hotels and upscale restaurants create an atmosphere of refined elegance. The area buzzes with trendy nightclubs and high-end lounges surrounding the iconic Théâtre Royal. Shoppers can browse through Menara Mall for designer goods just steps from their hotel.

With the Casino de Marrakech offering evening entertainment and fine dining terraces showcasing Atlas Mountain views, Hivernage delivers a perfect blend of comfort and Moroccan glamour.
Kasbah
Step into the ancient Kasbah, where 12th-century walls guard Marrakech's royal treasures. Wander narrow passages to discover the ornate Saadian Tombs and majestic Royal Palace gates. The air fills with scents of cedar and rose water from traditional hammams. This fortified district offers a more authentic experience than the bustling main medina. Browse smaller souks where local artisans sell handcrafted Berber jewellery and traditional pottery. At sunset, rooftop terraces provide stunning views of the medina and distant Atlas Mountains.
Palmeraie
The ancient Palmeraie offers a luxurious escape with over 100,000 palm trees creating a lush oasis just outside Marrakech.

Most travellers rely on hotel shuttles for the 15-minute journey into Marrakech's vibrant centre.

"Surreal experience and would love to return again!"
"When I entered I was served the traditional mint tea with a snack of dates and walnuts. It was the perfect refresher after travelling in by train. The room was clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly. The only drawback was it was a little bit noisy at night. Nothing to do with the staff or Riad just the general noise. Using my headphones did the trick though"
Riad Mboja Chez Ali Baba
Riad Mboja Chez Ali Baba"Amazing how it is so quiet inside the Riad compared to the hustle and bustle just outside the door. Great shower- one of the best we had in all of Morocco!"
"Great value riad with a lovely bedroom and staff. Really enjoyed our stay. Not luxurious but quirky fun and comfortable. About 15 min walk to the square. Breakfast was good but would benefit from some fruit and maybe slightly better coffee but l did the job. Lovely staff always happy to help and friendly."
