Royal Mansour is Morocco as a masterpiece. Opened in 2010 by royal initiative, this palace of 53 private riads on Rue Abou Abbas El Sebti was built by the kingdom's finest artisans - and it now ranks among the greatest hotels on Earth.
Royal Mansour Marrakech opened in 2010, born from King Mohammed VI's vision of a place that embodies the very best of Morocco. The result is not a hotel in the classic sense: it is a medina within walls, where 53 private riads - each with one to four bedrooms and a roof terrace facing the Atlas Mountains - are connected by quiet, garden-lined lanes. Artisans from across the kingdom spent years crafting its plasterwork, cedar and zellige.
The honours speak for themselves. In 2025, Royal Mansour was ranked No. 13 in the World's 50 Best Hotels, winning Best Hotel in Africa and the Highest Climber Award. Its restaurants, La Grande Table Marocaine and Sesamo, both earned places in the La Liste 1000 ranking of the world's finest tables. Le Jardin, the garden and pool area, was designed by celebrated Spanish landscape architect Luis Vallejo - a green retreat in the heart of the palace.
The 2,500 m² spa unfolds over three floors with a hammam, heated pool and a luminous white atrium - a destination in its own right, even for non-residents, and widely considered one of the finest spas in Africa. The palace is generally open to visitors from 09:00 to 22:00 at Rue Abou Abbas El Sebti, 40025 Marrakech, a short walk from the medina.
outside guests can reserve the spa, the restaurants and Le Jardin, making a Royal Mansour afternoon an experience in itself. Book ahead - the palace protects its calm - and dress elegantly, as the setting deserves. For a first visit, afternoon tea followed by a walk through the gardens is the classic introduction to the kingdom's most refined address.
the privacy. Behind those walls, fifty-three riads hold some of the most beautiful rooms on earth, and even a single afternoon - tea, garden, spa - borrows a little of that royal calm. There is luxury, and then there is Royal Mansour.
Royal Mansour is a SpotyMeet partner venue, so even the most exclusive address in the city can be a place to connect: see who is enjoying the gardens or booking a spa day, and make plans to meet. Moroccan artistry, world-class hospitality - some places you visit; Royal Mansour, you remember.
