Morocco Luxury Hotels on the Coast and Inland

Five Star Stay in Marrakech, Casablanca, Essaouira, Fes, Ouarzazate

Apr 30, 2009

Moroccan resorts have a fair choice of luxury accommodation, ranging from traditional palatial venues to stylish modern hotels.

From fine Atlantic beaches to exotic cities, from spectacular mountains to desert, Morocco has much to offer. Culture, romance, adventure or family fun, there is something for everyone and plenty of accommodation to suit.

All main resorts on the coast and inland have five star hotels, including some truly prestigious venues. For a few however, the rating may appear over generous so it’s best to adopt a flexible approach and remember this is not London or New York. Room standards can vary but fine cuisine, service and hospitality are the norm in Morocco luxury hotels.

The Royal Mansour Meridien is a peaceful oasis at the heart of Morocco’s largest city. This elegant venue blends modern comfort with traditional architecture and furnishings in warm hues of red and gold. Three restaurants offer a choice of Mediterranean, Moroccan or international cuisine. Massage, sauna and Turkish bath are available in the fitness centre.

A gift shop, two bars and four restaurants serving international cuisine complete the picture.
