While you can often find a nice stay in a hotel in Morocco, we highly recommend staying in a riad instead! A riad is a traditional moroccan building with several rooms and an interior courtyard. Marrakech offers numerous riad options for couples looking for a mid-range luxury stay for under $250 per night. (Of course, prices are subject to change, but we researched to find which riads on average cost less than or equal to $250 on most nights, no matter the season.)
While there are plenty of vacation rentals and hotels to choose from, we know you want nothing but the best in this romantic destination. After scoping out the best areas and properties, we’ve curated a list of the top 10 places to stay for 2-4 nights in Marrakech, Morocco.
A Note On Our Travel Style:
We settle for nothing less than:
- Mostly four & five-star properties with the occasional boutique or highly rated three-star hotels
- Comfy bed(s)
- Strong AC
- Good Wi-Fi
- Walking distance from a few must-see places
Whether you’re going for the views or the vibes, many of the properties offer a little bit of everything. Happy planning! (Take us with you!)
