Marrakesh Hotels

The Ksar Char-Bagh is the best rated hotel in Marrakesh. Accommodations consist of 12 "sumptuous suites" with private gardens or patios and one apartment. There is a tennis court, billard room and a library for guests to use. For complete relaxation and a "sensation of sweetness," you can soak in the on-site hammam (steam bath) or get a massage in some of the "dedicated" areas.

In the "Old City of Marrakesh" is the small, four-room Riad 72. The rooms are simple, yet "intimate" and there is a "plunge pool" and a view of Medina on the rooftop terrace. The in-house chef prepares dishes with fresh ingredients and will offer suggestions on the best plates. The whole riad is available for rent to groups of eight to twelve people.

Try the Jnane Mogador for a lower-priced stay in Marrakesh. Here the rooms are cheap and the on-site spa offers guests a hammon and massage treatments. The accommodations vary is size but all offer a view of the courtyard. Unlike most other lodging options of this price range, each room comes equipped with a small, but sensible bathroom.
