"The 207-room Sofitel boasts less offensive architecture, brighter rooms and is closer to the medina."

"This chain hotel is not up to Western five-star standards, but it isn’t too bad as package hotels go."

"Located in the city center, with a view of the surrounding Atlas Mountains, this hotel combines the charm and romance of A Thousand and One Nights with modern conveniences and a trendy environment."

"The first boutique hotel in Marrakech still holds its own against all latecomers. It has a genteel air, with a colonial bar and a garden pool."

"Though not as famous as the Mamounia, this is arguably Marrakesh’s classiest hotel, a gorgeous nineteenth-century mansion that’s been restored with fine traditional workmanship."

"This hotel, on a tiny side street in the center of the busy medina, has roots that go back to the 1940s, when it was a posh restaurant and social center for Marrakech's expatriate community."

Be sure to enjoy one of the dadas (Moroccan pancakes) or fresh viennoiserie prepared daily by the hotel's own pastry chef.

"With ivy-strewn courtyards, antique-slung corridors, and open fires crackling in cedarwood salons, La Maison Arabe is the epitome of Moroccan elegance."
