CITY GUIDE · MARRAKESH
We compare access to the medina and its landmarks with garden space, private pools, family facilities and the driving required from resorts outside the centre.
We suggest the Kasbah for travelers who want to explore the southern medina on foot: La Sultana Marrakech is close to the Saadian Tombs. Around the western medina, La Mamounia combines gardens with access to the Koutoubia Mosque, while Royal Mansour Marrakech offers individual riads within its own estate. In Hivernage, Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa suits travelers who want pools and evening entertainment; farther west, Four Seasons Resort Marrakech faces the Menara Gardens and has dedicated children's facilities. Southeast of the centre, Amanjena on Route de Ouarzazate and Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech on Route du Golf Royal suit stays built around private outdoor space and golf. Farther along Route de Ouarzazate, The Oberoi Marrakech offers an orchard setting for travelers comfortable driving into town. Southwest of the city, Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech on Route d'Amizmiz suits travelers planning golf and time on the estate.

We would choose La Sultana Marrakech for the Kasbah and Saadian Tombs, or La Mamounia and Royal Mansour Marrakech for the western medina and Koutoubia Mosque.
Royal Mansour Marrakech has a private pool at every riad, and Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech offers villas and suites with private pools. We would also compare the specific pool categories at Amanjena, Four Seasons Resort Marrakech, La Mamounia and The Oberoi Marrakech.
We would start with Four Seasons Resort Marrakech for its supervised children's programme and family pool facilities. Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech is another option for families who want sports facilities and space outside the centre.
We would choose Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech for an 18-hole course on the estate. Amanjena is beside Amelkis Golf Club, while Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech is adjacent to Royal Golf Marrakech.
We would consider Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa for live music and DJ sets at So Lounge. Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech offers several dining settings, including Ling Ling by Hakkasan and Shirvan.
We would plan car journeys from Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech, Amanjena, Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech and The Oberoi Marrakech. The Oberoi Marrakech describes Jemaa el-Fna as approximately 25 minutes away by road; actual journeys depend on traffic.
