La Grande Table Marocaine restaurant in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

La Grande Table Marocaine

Marrakech, Morocco
Sesamo restaurant in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Sesamo

Sesamo brings the Italian kitchen of Massimiliano Alajmo into the Royal Mansour, Marrakesh's most architecturally ambitious hotel.

Marrakech, Morocco

Marrakech, Morocco

Farasha Farmhouse

Farasha Farmhouse-Mouton Noir sits at the intersection of Moroccan agricultural tradition and contemporary cooking, with Chef Aniss Meski bringing a farm-grounded sensibility to one of Marrakesh's more considered dining settings.

Casablanca, Morocco

La Grande Table Marocaine - Royal Mansour Casablanca

Amanjena hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Amanjena

Aman's first African property, open since 2000 on the Route de Ouarzazate, translates Marrakesh's rose-city architecture into 40 rose-toned pavilions and maisons arranged around a central bassin. The design references rammed-earth pisé construction and Berber village forms, while dining spans Japanese and Mediterranean menus. Rates from $1,569 per night position it at the summit of the city's resort tier, where it holds the 2025 World Travel Award for Morocco's Leading Villa Resort.

Marrakech, Morocco
The Oberoi Marrakech hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

The Oberoi Marrakech

Set on 28 acres of Mediterranean orchards and olive groves along the Route d'Ouarzazate, The Oberoi Marrakech operates at a different scale and register than the city's riad tradition.

La Liste awarded the property 95.5 points in its 2026 Top Hotels ranking; Morocco's Leading Luxury Hotel at the World Travel Awards 2025.

Marrakech, Morocco
Riad No. 37 hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Riad No. 37

An eight-room adults-only riad in Marrakesh's Dar El Bacha quarter, Riad No. 37 pairs the inside-out architecture of a traditional Moroccan courtyard house with a deliberately Scandinavian design sensibility. Its kitchen, shaped by New Nordic methodology applied to Moroccan ingredients, serves communal dinners that function more like private dinner parties than hotel meals. The result is a property that sits apart from both the grand palace hotels and the generic boutique riad market.

Rabat, Morocco

Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr

A converted 18th-century royal palace on Rabat's Atlantic edge, Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr earned a La Liste Top Hotels 2026 score of 93 points through a combination of Moroccan craft interiors, a five-venue food and beverage program, and a spa hammam grounded in regional wellness tradition.

Rabat, Morocco
Ksar Char-Bagh hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Ksar Char-Bagh

Set in the Palmeraie, Marrakesh's ancient palm-grove district fifteen minutes from the medina, Ksar Char-Bagh occupies a 25-suite mini-palace that draws on centuries of Moorish residential architecture.

Marrakech, Morocco
Riad Tarabel hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Riad Tarabel

A ten-room courtyard mansion in Marrakesh's Dar El Bacha quarter, Riad Tarabel sits at the intersection of Second Empire grandeur and medina intimacy.
