Ranked first on the list of the world’s 50 best hotels, Royal Mansour Marrakech is renowned for its elegance and sophistication. CNN notes that this hotel, designed under the guidance of the King of Morocco, has offered an unmatched luxury experience from its inception, immersing guests in a royal ambiance.
Set within six hectares of lush gardens, this oasis of luxury is famed for its “exceptional” hospitality and meticulous attention to detail. Its innovative concept of a “medina within a medina” is enhanced by a network of hidden tunnels and “secret doors,” ensuring unparalleled privacy and exclusivity.
The members of the World’s 50 Best Hotels Academy, composed of approximately 600 anonymous global hospitality experts, unanimously recognized Royal Mansour Marrakech as unrivaled in its welcome. Emma Sleight, the content director for The World’s 50 Best Hotels, praises the hotel for truly embodying the art of hospitality. She also commends the establishment’s resilience following the 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck the Al Haouz region in September, severely affecting the UNESCO World Heritage-listed medina.
Jean-Claude Messant, the general manager of the Royal Mansour Collection, expressed his pride in this accolade, lauding his “fantastic” team for maintaining the highest levels of warmth and service. He describes Royal Mansour Marrakech, which houses four gourmet restaurants, as the “crown jewel” of the collection.
