Love this in depth guide and how cats are a reason to stay somewhere (couldn’t agree more, I’d stay there just for them!)
Great post! Marrakech is a great city, and there are so many beautiful places to stay! I stayed in a Riad while I was there and would highly recommend everybody stay in one. I love staying in local places. Your post is great and takes all the research effort out of planning a trip. I’ll def. be saving this post for next time I go to Morocco!
Amazing roundup! Marrakech Mandarin Oriental is high on my bucket list! Do you have a preference or recommendation between a hotel or riad in Marrakech?
If you have never stayed in a riad, you definitely should! Mandarin Oriental is apart from the main atractions, I really recommend it if you want to relax 🙂
All of these places look amazing – Ryad Dyor might just be my favourite if I had to pick just one!
I loved Marrakech, and I am getting ready to go back to explore more this time. Thanks for your guide, saving it for my next trip!
Wow all these properties look so beautiful! So colourful and the views are stunning!
WOW your photos are stunning! Absolutely love them!
Each piece has a sweet touch on it. It was great reading your article. So lovely!
Oh your post is making me miss Marrakech! I am dying to go back, so I will certainly book at one of these recommended spots. All so gorgeous!
The terrace at Ryad Dyor looks amazing! But I love the ambiance and decor in Riad Nejma’s Lounge 🙂
Thank you so much for all the information and in depth information. This is really helpfull as I will go there this year.
