Royal Mansour Hotel, Marrakech

The meticulous design authentically replicates the classic forms of the traditional medina, with buildings, squares and gardens interspersed with intricate winding paths covering 3.5 hectares, completely surrounded by its own 5-metre wall, one side being the existing ancient city wall.
The grand entrance gate mirrors all the renowned gates to Morocco’s imperial cities and is a just illustration of the skill of the local artisans and the materials and techniques used, such as traditional cedar wood, cisele metal and sculptured plasterwork. As with the famous Bab Fes Khemis (Thursday Gate) in the city, Royal Mansour’s great gate evokes a promise of happiness, fortune and prosperity.

An oasis of peace and calm. Vividly coloured and sweet scented flora and a multitude of trees and plants are laid out in geometric designs around a beautiful fountain in the centre. The perfect symmetry is reminiscent of the gardens of the Alhambra Palace in Granada and provides guests with an exquisite retreat where they can read quietly or simply lose themselves in the wonder of the environment.

Two stunning restaurants and the magnificent main reception building with its fabulous lobby, bar, lounges and library entice guests forward.  Interiors feature a breathtaking combination of local craftsmanship.
Guests are escorted through the main reception to Royal Mansour’s inner medina; an area of exclusivity and privacy inaccessible to non-residents. 

An intricate series of underground tunnels to each of the property’s 53 riads, accessed only by staff, guarantees the utmost privacy and discretion.

The Riads
There are 53 individually designed riads (private residences), each over three floors and comprising one to four bedrooms. The rooms are arranged around a central open-air courtyard with all ground floors featuring a living room, bar, lobby and an outdoor patio. The larger riads also have galleries and dining rooms. Riads feature private roof terraces with plunge pools, open fires and some have private hammams and Bedouin tented areas.
Each riad is distinctive in character and individually decorated with intricate hand-crafted techniques and finished with the finest fabrics, antiques and custom-made furniture of the highest specification. An exciting fusion of tradition and modernity, the riads are complete with state-of-the-art technology, including roofs with sensors to automatically close at a drop of rain. Touch panel-control through the rooms further enhances the guest experience of the utmost comfort and convenience.

The Spa
The Royal Mansour Spa is a true paradise which promises to stimulate the senses, encourage relaxation and offer a unique spa experience.
Experts will also offer guidance in the areas of nutrition, exercise, stress management and general wellbeing. If preferred, a private area can be reserved where the guests can review the extensive programme of facilities and treatments whilst feasting on nutritious delights prepared by the hotel’s talented chefs.
The spa is based on traditional Moroccan rituals with the hammams being the pièces de resistances, but also offers the latest in contemporary spa technology and treatments.
