Royal Mansour is a walled "medina within a medina" of private riads in Marrakech, owned and designed by the King of Morocco around traditional Moroccan craft. Every guest stays in a riad of their own, spread over three floors with a roof terrace, and the six hectares of Moorish gardens are closed to the street. The workmanship in zellige, carved plaster and wood is the point of the place. It suits travellers who want total privacy and Moroccan craftsmanship, and who accept that the medina itself stays outside the walls.
Editorial assessmentRoyal Mansour is Sikovia's medina-palace choice in Marrakech: a walled city of private riads close to the old town, whereas Mandarin Oriental is a garden resort of pool villas outside the centre. Choose Royal Mansour for craft and privacy in town; choose Mandarin Oriental for gardens and space.
Privacy in the medina. Each guest stays in a private riad rather than a hotel room.
Moroccan craftsmanship. Riads are finished in zellige, carved plaster, wood and custom furniture.

Your own riad. Every riad has three floors and its own roof terrace.
Six hectares of gardens. Landscaped Moorish gardens surround the riads inside the walls.
Spa Royal Mansour Marrakech — 2,500 sqm, 10 treatment rooms, 3 spa suites, indoor heated pool.
Premier Riad. 175 sqm over three floors with one bedroom and a roof terrace; more space than the Superior Riad without moving to the two-bedroom tier.
La Grande Brasserie — French brasserie by chef Hélène Darroze.
La Grande Table Marocaine — modern Moroccan cooking.
Sesamo — Italian cooking by the Alajmo brothers.
Le Jardin — open-air Asian and Mediterranean dining.
Dedicated butler service is part of the riads from the Privilege category upwards, not the Superior and Premier riads.
The compound is fully walled, so the medina experience happens outside its gates.
