What makes it special: The Grand Riad is the ultimate immersion in Marrakech, where the guest is transported into a magical medina to experience the refined grace of traditional and royal Moroccan hospitality.

In the most intimate part of the Royal Mansour stands an icon of luxury hotels in Marrakech and around the world: the Grand Riad. This prestigious residence shines with the comings and goings of its famous guests. Between absolute relaxation in the hammam, gourmet rituals and sweet nights in one of the 4 bedrooms, you enter the highest spheres of refinement and elegance. An exceptional riad that inspires the wildest dreams…

Staying in a riad is the best way to enjoy a setting worthy of the tales of Arabian Nights while on holiday in Marrakech. A riad is a traditional house that is specific to Morocco. You will only see the facades of the riads when walking in the medina, but architectural treasures are hidden behind these great walls. Riads provide the perfect accommodation for those who are looking for privacy and a cool place to stay on sunny days in Marrakech. To create an authentic Moroccan experience, the Royal Mansour Marrakech has developed a unique offer where traditional hotel rooms and suites are replaced by 53 private riads, each more luxurious than the last.

Traditionally, a riad is a house that is centered around an open-air patio, allowing guests to enjoy the natural surroundings. These cool and verdant patios are often filled with plants and decorated with fountains or ponds, while the other rooms all face the bright patio centerpiece. The riad is surrounded by a few alcoves, called bhou, in which guests can enjoy some cool shade when the sun is out.

Riads are typically composed of more than one story. In the Grand Riad, the ground floor opens to the garden, which revolves around a patio. A private wrought iron elevator takes guests to the second floor which reveals 3 bedrooms, each with dressing rooms and independent bathrooms. A boudoir adjacent to the primary suite can be converted into an additional bedroom if needed.

Guests can easily float from sunbathing by the pool, to meals in the neoclassical dining room, or a business meeting in the office – life at the Royal Mansour Marrakech is the ultimate luxury.

Higher up, on the roof terrace, you have a front row seat to admire the view of the Atlas, which is matched only by the Koutoubia, right before your eyes. Pool, bar, lounges, hammam, fitness and cinema rooms invite you to savor a deliberately epicurean sweetness. The private receptions and cocktails organized in these places have a taste of legend.
