A palace of riads

Royal Mansour Marrakech stands within the walls of the medina, a five-minute walk from the Jemaa el Fna square. In place of conventional rooms and suites, the palace has 53 riads, each with its own decoration over three floors, a patio, a roof terrace facing the Atlas Mountains and a private pool. They range from 140-square-metre, one-bedroom riads to the four-bedroom Grand Riad of 1,800 square metres, and are linked by alleyways inside the grounds.

Where the wedding is held

For weddings the hotel offers the Grand Riad, whose lounges open onto the garden, the swimming pool and a roof terrace, and Le Jardin, a garden of just over 2.5 hectares designed by the Spanish landscape architect Luis Vallejo, with a 30 by 20 metre pool and seven private pavilions. Floral terraces, alleyways and alcoves give the open-air celebration its setting.
