Seventeen ranked properties make Marrakech the strongest African entry in this index, and 16 of them hold MICHELIN Keys, including one three-Key house. What distinguishes the city is architectural continuity: hotels here are built around courtyards, water channels and shaded loggias, whether they date from the 1920s or last decade.
La Mamounia sits inside historic walled gardens near the Koutoubia, and Royal Mansour was conceived as a village of private riads. Amanjena and The Oberoi Marrakech both take the palmeraie and Route de Ouarzazate approach, with long reflecting pools and views toward the High Atlas. Smaller conversions such as Ksar Char-Bagh, La Sultana Marrakech and IZZA Marrakech work at medina scale, and three destinations restaurants appear on La Liste.

Where to stay in Marrakech
The medina, particularly the Kasbah quarter and the lanes around Riad Zitoun, holds the courtyard conversions; Hivernage and Gueliz supply larger garden hotels within walking distance of the ramparts; and the Palmeraie and Route de l'Ourika hold the low-slung desert estates that trade proximity for silence and mountain views.
When to go
March to May and late September to November are the settled months and the busiest, with a further peak over the New Year holidays; July and August heat regularly passes 40C and the city empties.
