5 Best of the Best Hotels in Marrakech

January 26, 2026
Marrakech, with its bustling souks and vibrant culture, offers an enchanting escape into the heart of Morocco's dynamism. Choosing the right homebase to take in that experience can make a world of difference...which is why I'm covering five of the best hotels in Marrakech, Morocco. Marrakech is one of Morocco’s best places to visit. Its medina is nearly 1,000 years old and still buzzes with traders, vendors and street performers, not to mention a surplus of grand landmarks. I’ve rounded up a list of a few of the best hotels Marrakech has to offer. When you’re choosing, know that location is one of the major factors: you’ll either stay in the medina itself or a short drive away. Generally speaking, it’ll be easier to get around if you’re in the medina, but you’ll sacrifice the space that the farther away properties offer. Not to worry: connect with me and I'll match-make you to the hotel that fits your travel preferences.
