Deluxe hotels
Marrakesh has a handful of genuine deluxe hotels.
In the Medina, the most famous are the Mamounia, the VIPs' traditional favourite, and the less grand and more intimate Maison Arabe. They were joined by more recent arrivals El Fenn in 2004 and the super-deluxe Royal Mansour in 2010.
There are also a few five-star hideaways in the Palmery, notably Les Deux Tours.
