The Royal Mansour in Marrakech is one of them. Situated in the Medina, on a privatized street, the prestigious hotel offers a unique sensory experience to those who open its massive bronze doors. D esigned in the purest Moroccan tradition the Royal Mansour cultivates perfection down to the last detail. The best artisans in the country have worked three years to create this Moroccan temple of the art of living, which was awarded as “best hotel in Africa“ for the year 2015 by the famous Prix Villegiature. Each parcel of the vast field is a wonder for the senses. The eyes are delighted by the multicolored zellij and the numerous Mashrabiyas while the sound of singing birds and water fountains soothes the mind. Surely, it is hard to leave once you have experienced the elegant luxury of this hotel. Let it be known, “One does not stay at the Royal Mansour Marrakech, one lives there for shorter or longer periods of time !“ The 53 riads available to travelers combine traditional decoration and state-of-the-art technologies for an absolute comfort. They include a private terrace on the roof with an ornamental pond, a fireplace and for some of them a hammam and a tent. Epitome of refinement, the hotel has two gourmet restaurants – La Grande Table Marocaine and La Grande Table Française – managed by Yannick Alléno, famous Michelin starred Parisian chef.
