Royal Mansour Marrakech

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 sq m, one-bedroom riads to the four-bedroom Grand Riad of 1,800 sq m, and are linked by alleyways inside the grounds.

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. Floral terraces, alleyways and alcoves give the open-air celebration its setting, and the event team arranges the decoration, cake, menu and music with the couple. Four restaurants cover French, Moroccan, Italian and Asian and Mediterranean cooking, and private tables can be set elsewhere in the hotel. Spa Royal Mansour occupies 2,500 sq m over three floors with a hammam and an indoor heated pool, and hair and make-up are available for the couple.
