Royal MansourMediterranean
Royal Mansour Marrakech | Morocco
Aurelle Curator's Verdict
The Royal Mansour is less a hotel and more a royal dream made manifest, commissioned by the King of Morocco to showcase the absolute pinnacle of Moorish craftsmanship and discretion. It is the ultimate choice for privacy-seekers who desire a 'medina within a medina' experience where a dedicated team of butlers services each riad via a hidden subterranean tunnel network. Skip it if you prefer a social, high-energy pool scene, but fly across the world specifically for the transportive ritual of their signature Hammam.
