Le Royal Mansour

Commissioned by the King to host heads of state from around the world, the Royal Mansour Marrakech is an unforgettable experience of sumptuous luxury. Featuring the perfect balance between traditional and opulent Moroccan architecture, the Royal Mansour offers history, lavish comforts and exclusivity to its guests. Enclosed within the medina and protected from view by the city walls, Royal Mansour is as precious and mysterious as the city itself, its beauty revealed in layers. This voyage begins with a sweeping, private avenue, lined with Centenarian Olive Trees which lead to the hotel’s imposing bronze gates. Beyond the gates is the breathtaking tiled portico with a sunken fountain that ebbs and flows throughout the common areas. 

Pairing exclusivity, luxury and privacy in one of the world’s most exotic cities, 53 private riads are built around a central atrium, each showcasing a private roof terrace, solarium, fireplace and dining room with views over the medina and the city below. Entrusted to the country’s finest craftsmen, the riads are exact replicas of the region’s traditional houses. Unique architectural design created a labyrinthine of underground tunnels to each of the riads, accessible only by staff, guaranteeing the utmost privacy, discretion and seclusion satisfying the property’s high profile guests. Woven into the fabric of the property is heaven-like 2,500 sq.m spa that boasts an in-house Master of Hammam and three world-class restaurants. Architectural services included master planning, project programming, and architecture for the 2.2 hectare property featuring 41,000 sq. m of built area.
