A Sanctuary in Marrakech: The Award-Winning World of Royal Mansour

Recognized for its Art of Hospitality, this estate redefines luxury through private riads, profound serenity, and a deep cultural connection. 

The Royal Mansour Marrakech offers an experience that moves beyond the ordinary hotel stay. Its distinct approach earned global recognition in 2024 when it was named the winner of the No.3 Gin Art of Hospitality Award by The World’s 50 Best Hotels.

The Concept: A Medina Within a Medina

Entry to the property marks a passage into a separate realm. Conceived as a medina within the medina, the private six hectare estate is enclosed by traditional ochre walls. Inside, you will find no standard rooms or hallways. Instead, the accommodation comprises 53 standalone riads. Each one is a self contained residence, an exemplar of Moroccan craftsmanship featuring zellige tile, carved cedar, and delicate marquetry. These quiet homes are nestled within secluded gardens perfumed by jasmine and orange blossom.

Landscapes of Serenity


The grounds form a quiet refuge restored by landscape architect Luis Vallejo. Century old olive trees, labyrinths of flowers, and sweeping lawns form a calm setting centered around a glistening pool. A vegetable garden for younger visitors and an Artist Residence for workshops are examples of integrated spaces that lend a layer of tranquil interaction to the setting.

A Culinary Journey

Dining here is a curated journey across multiple venues. La Grande Table Marocaine elevates traditional Moroccan cuisine. La Grande Brasserie by Hélène Darroze brings French elegance, while Le Jardin offers globally inspired meals in an open air setting. Sesamo presents refined Italian dishes. For ultimate privacy, The Nest, a gazebo perched five meters above the garden, provides a unique dining venue with unparalleled views.

The Wellness Pavilion

Wellbeing is centered around the hotel’s celebrated spa. Housed in a striking white latticework pavilion, the 2500 square meter facility is dedicated to comprehensive wellness. It offers traditional hammams, biomarker based health programs, and treatments developed with esteemed partners like Sisley and Subtle Energies, framing pampering as a transformative practice.

Cultural Stewardship

Fundamental to the hotel’s philosophy is a genuine commitment to its cultural context. Royal Mansour actively nurtures local talent through educational programs and partnerships. Its boutique highlights Moroccan artisanship, fostering collaborations that respect heritage while engaging with modern luxury, ensuring the hotel is an anchor for the community.
