Royal Mansour Marrakech

Every guest gets their own riad, not a room, complete with a rooftop plunge pool, a private courtyard, and a butler who will arrange a Bentley to the airport. The hotel was built at the direction of King Mohammed VI to be a living showcase of Moroccan craft, and the tile work, carved cedar ceilings, and mother-of-pearl details make that ambition hard to miss. Staff move through underground tunnels so the serenity stays unbroken. It holds a Forbes Five Star and sits at number 13 on the World's 50 Best Hotels list.
