Royal Mansour Marrakech is a palatial oasis crafted by over 1,500 local artisans as an ode to traditional Moroccan architecture. A quiet retreat just steps from the Medina, guests are welcomed with an open-air courtyard, nearly four acres of lush gardens (which have recently been extended to incorporate a beautiful kitchen garden, Atelier d’Artiste and an elevated, private dining space), private multi-story riads dotted along petal-pink pathways, and a sprawling, 2 500 sqm spa that is the hotel's crown jewel with its elaborate white birdcage atrium bathed in natural light and holistic menu of restorative and rejuvenating treatments by world-leading, innovative skincare brands. Discerning foodies will delight in the four exceptional restaurants, two of which – La Grande Brasserie and La Grande Table Marocaine – are newly headed up by multi award-winning and three Michelin Starred chef Hélène Darroze. Sesamo, the hotel's opulent Italian restaurant is orchestrated by three Michelin-starred chef Massimiliano Alajmo (youngest chef in the world to earn 3 Michelin stars). Guests seeking some sumptuous, al fresco dining should head to Le Jardin, to enjoy a fusion of Asian and Mediterranean dishes – headed up by Executive Chef Jérôme Videau.
