Marrakech Hotel Review | From Budget to Royalty
Sometimes, we choose riads for a homely vibe; other times, we crave palace-level luxury. In Marrakech, I tried both—here’s the breakdown! 🏨 1. Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi 📍 Location: Near the old town, next to Sofitel & Le Méridien (and an LV store!). 💰 Budget-friendly: Modern, clean, and huge Moroccan-chic decor (think: "Chinese tomb-meets-sacrificial altar" vibes 😂). 🌿 Perks: Sprawling gardens, great for quick city access. 👑 2. Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial ✨ Royal Roots: Built by the King of Morocco! 🏊 Highlights: Private courtyards & mountain-view pools. Horse-drawn carriages (bargain to 100-200 MAD for city tours!). 🍷 Vibe: "French luxury + Moroccan hospitality" at a steal. 🌴 3. La Mamounia 🏆 Legendary Status: Often called the "world’s best hotel". 💎 Why Stay? Upgrade for garden views—worth every dirham. Flawless service (they’ll book YSL Garden tickets for you!). 🌆 Contrast: Outside = chaotic Medina; inside = tranquil oasis. 🛶 4. Mandarin Oriental Marrakech 💙 Villa Life: Wake up and dive into your private pool. ☕ Breakfast: Served in your sunlit courtyard—birds chirping, breeze blowing… heaven. ⚠️ Downside: Remote location (Ubers are a must). 💡 Pro Tips For culture: Stay near the Medina (Mövenpick/Sofitel). For indulgence: La Mamounia or MO (but budget for transport). Haggle hard with carriage drivers! #MarrakechHotels #MoroccoLuxury #TravelLikeRoyalty
