A gem in the midsts of the vibrant old Medina. Find yourself winding down after a labyrinth walk through the market, sip on some avocado smoothies and nibble on some briouates while you’re waiting for your chicken tagine. Be sure to be seated on the rooftop patio, so you can soak in all that is Marrakech.

This is the place where people run to, when they want to get away from the hectic of the city. Located within fifteen minutes from the city, you will find yourself on your way to the Ourika Valley when Bo Zin comes in view as an Oasis. Bo Zin is king when it comes to creating a relaxing atmosphere, accompanied by excellent service and brilliant French and Moroccan finger food. Stay until late, the dj’s will get you to stay anyway.

Ah.. Lodge K. A place you wish was yours. A place you wish you could stay forever. This boutique hotel is located in the midst of the Palmeraei region, still just a 10-minute drive to the bustling city life, but far enough away to feel like you’re in a deserted paradise. Privacy is key, and the well trained staff will make sure you have everything you need during your stay. Stay in one of the five lodges or in one of the three suites, either way you won’t be disappointed. An absolute treasure.

Located in the midst of the Old Medina this is the perfect hideaway if you want to spend your days losing yourself in the Medina.

Named ‘Best Hotel in the World' for years in a row. And for good reason.. This impressive hotel has a rich history (going back to the days that Churchill would spend his winters here) and enormous high standards. From the doorstaff in traditional robes, to the large garden with art and fountains, scented with cedar wood. While it’s on the edge of the city’s souk, Djemaa el Fna square, it’s an impressive 17 acres, filled with flowerbeds, cacti gardens which are magically lit up at night. Stay for the night or go here for an afternoon Scotch, either way — you will impressed.
