The hype
A jaw-droppingly beautiful sanctuary where the staff treats you like a visiting diplomat.
The Oberoi Marrakech
$800-1500+ / Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want the silence of the Sahara and the service of a royal palace without actually leaving civilization.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Villas with huge private pools that actually feel private
- Architecture that rivals the historic Ben Youssef Madrasa
- Service so telepathic it feels like they have a dossier on you
Kurzfassung: It's a 25-minute drive from the Medina, so don't book this if you want to stumble home from a souk at 2 AM.
Bewertet von @wheres.kam: I felt like absolute royalty staying here. The architecture is mind-blowing—especially that main courtyard view. Sipping traditional tea in the gardens was the most relaxing part of my trip. If you want a quiet, luxurious escape from the city noise, this is it.

Vor der Buchung
Gut zu wissen

- The 'resort tax' is small, but food and spa prices are London/NYC levels.
Was Sie einpacken sollten

- A warm layer for evenings, even in summer (desert climate drops at night)
Zimmer-Genie
Beste Auswahl

- Royal Suite for the best Atlas Mountain views from the terrace
Zimmer, die Sie meiden sollten
