Where to Stay in Marrakech: Medina, Guéliz or Hivernage?

The right Marrakech base depends more on neighbourhood than star rating.

Medina

Best for travellers who want riads, lanes, souks and the historic centre immediately outside the door. Vehicle access can be limited inside the old city.

Guéliz

A modern district with broad streets, shops, restaurants and easier car access.

Hivernage

Useful for larger modern hotels and resort-style facilities while remaining close to the old city.

Well-known hotels to research

• Royal Mansour Marrakech — its official site describes a hotel built around private riads near the medina.
• Four Seasons Resort Marrakech — located in Hivernage according to the hotel’s official site.
• Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech — the official hotel material places the resort a short drive from the medina in extensive landscaped grounds.
