Kasbah d’If Shines in the 2026 Versailles Prize Selection
On June 21, 2026, a remarkable recognition was bestowed upon the Kasbah d’If, located near Marrakech, as it secured a coveted spot in the global selection of the 2026 Versailles Prize, an accolade dedicated to the most exquisite hotels worldwide. This prestigious honor places Morocco in an elite list of just sixteen establishments that have been recognized for their architectural beauty and design excellence.
The Kasbah d’If stands out not only for its stunning aesthetics but also for its unique blend of traditional Moroccan kasbah architecture and luxury hospitality. Situated at the edge of the Agafay Desert, approximately thirty kilometers from Marrakech, this five-star hotel spans an impressive 34 hectares and boasts 37 lavish suites, three gourmet restaurants, a rejuvenating spa, and terraces offering breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains. The hotel's design captures the essence of Moroccan heritage while providing guests with a high-end experience that rivals the best in the world.
The Rising Profile of Moroccan Luxury Hospitality
The inclusion of the Kasbah d’If in the prestigious 2026 Versailles Prize selection significantly enhances the visibility of Morocco’s luxury hospitality sector, particularly at a time when Marrakech continues to solidify its status as one of the premier tourist destinations in the kingdom. While the final global title will be awarded later, the Kasbah d’If is already establishing itself as one of the most beautiful hotels in the world this year. This recognition not only highlights the hotel’s architectural and design merits but also reinforces Morocco's position in the competitive landscape of luxury travel.
