Marrakech · The Medina, 5 minutes' walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa
A medina of its own inside the old city walls, with 53 riads behind their own doors and a pool in every one.
Royal Mansour sits inside the walls of the old city, a 5-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa, and it is built as a medina of its own. There are no corridors. Narrow alleys run past discreet doorways, and 53 of them open into a riad, a whole house on 3 floors. Yours opens straight onto its patio: daylight from above, zellige, carved plaster, wood and rugs. From there the stairs climb to a roof terrace with the Atlas Mountains on the skyline.
At the end of the day, go back up to the roof, where the Atlas Mountains sit on the skyline. From a Prestige riad you look over the hotel's gardens to the mountains, and the sunset is the reason to be up there. After dark the terrace sits under the stars, and in a Premier riad dinner for two can be served up there by candlelight. Down in a Superior riad's sitting room there is a fire for tea, and if it rains a glass roof closes over the patio.
Underneath the alleys, tunnels connect all 53 riads, so the staff can come and go without crossing a guest's path. You notice the housekeepers and florists by what they leave behind: fresh-cut flowers and clean linen.

Le Jardin, and the Kitchen Garden. The garden grows food as well as flowers. Organic vegetables come up in season for the chefs, and the medicinal plants of the bio-aromatic garden go into the infusions served to guests.
The Spa, the Indoor Pool and the Gym. The spa covers 2,500 square metres on 3 floors and is open daily from 9 in the morning until 9 at night. There are 10 treatment rooms, a hair and beauty salon, Bastien Gonzalez's Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio, and 3 spa suites, each with its own hammam, treatment room, plunge pool and terrace over the gardens. The heated indoor pool is 22 metres long, under an orangery glass roof that fills with sun. The gym never closes, and yoga and Pilates are taught in the spa or out in the gardens. For a longer stay, the wellness programmes for weight control, rejuvenation, rebalancing or immunity run over 3, 5, 7 or 14 days.
The concierge holds the Clés d'Or and makes a plan for each guest. A private guide can take you through the medina's alleys and hidden funduqs, to the Bahia Palace, the Saadian tombs and the Majorelle Garden. The concierge also books a horse-drawn carriage across the city, or a day in the Atlas Mountains, an hour away by car. It can also arrange a visit to the perfumer Serge Lutens' house in the old medina, dinner under a 100-year-old false pepper tree lit by 1,001 candles at Dar el Sadaka, or breakfast in a hot-air balloon at sunrise.
