Marrakech


The Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech, is a sprawling oasis that allows guests to get lost in luxury – literally. Milly Rochow goes inside Mandarin Oriental’s fi rst opening in Africa.


espite a central location, the Mandarin Oriental Marrakech does not feel like a city break – it is more like an oasis retreat. The first Mandarin Oriental in Africa, the hotel chain’s latest outpost offers the luxury and outstanding service for which the chain is famous. The glossy monochrome lobby opens up into a view of the breath-taking pool garden and beyond to the Atlas Mountains, creating an immediate sense of awe. It is conveniently located 30 minutes from Menara Airport, and 15 minutes from the Medina – a must for any visit to the city. Hotel cars and local taxi services are at the disposal of hotel guests.


Suites and villas


There are no rooms per se, the entry level accommodation are the suites, which are located on the top floor of the hotel and spacious enough for a family. The terraces offer views out to the crimson Atlas Mountains.


The majority of guests stay in one of the 54 villas scattered throughout the gardens. Behind opulent wooden doors there is 3,000ft2


of private


living space, including a swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor shower, fireplace, indoor shower with steam room, kitchenette and an array of areas for al-fresco dining.
