In this post I tell you about the best areas to stay in Marrakech and I add some great accommodation options.
The most popular area to stay in Marrakech is its medina. The medina, like all the medinas in the country, is chaotic, very charming and full of great Riads. Here you will find the vast majority of accommodation in the city. It is an area full of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. The vast majority of places to see in Marrakech are in this area or very close.
Some great options where to stay in Marrakech:
To the south of Marrakech is the neighborhood of the Kasbah. It is somewhat quieter than the center of the Medina, but still bustling and with a lot of atmosphere.
The Kasbah began as an administrative center and gave way to a mainly residential area. In this area are the Saadian tombs or the El Badi Palace.

If you want to stay in an exclusive and luxurious area in Marrakech, Hivernage is your option. It is located in the southwest of the Guéliz district and is home to luxurious residential villas and the most spectacular hotel complexes such as La Mamounia, the most luxurious hotel in Africa, or the Royal Mansour.

Finally, a good alternative where to stay in Marrakech is in Guéliz. It is a very modern area with western hotels and large hotel chains. Personally, part of the experience of visiting Marrakech lies in staying in a Riad or a more authentic area, but if you prefer this type of accommodation in this area you have plenty. You can find 5-star hotels for less than 190 euros per night (in a double room) and standard hotels for 70 euros per night.
