Royal Mansour Marrakech Secures 26th Position Among the World’s Best Hotels
On September 18, 2026, the esteemed Royal Mansour Marrakech was awarded the prestigious title of the 26th best hotel globally in the renowned 2026 edition of The World’s 50 Best Hotels. Not only did it achieve this remarkable rank, but it also claimed the distinguished title of Best Hotel in Africa for 2026, a recognition proudly sponsored by Monte Vibiano. This accolade further solidifies Marrakech's status as a premier destination for luxury travelers seeking unparalleled hospitality.
A Unique Architectural Marvel with Exclusive Riads
The Royal Mansour Marrakech stands out in the global hospitality landscape not just for its rankings but also for its exceptional design. Opened in 2010, the hotel is renowned for its unique offering of 53 private riads, each featuring an open-air courtyard and a rooftop pool. This architectural choice reflects the traditional medina style and offers guests a private oasis in the heart of the city. The service model of the hotel is particularly noteworthy; it operates through a network of underground tunnels that facilitate discreet service, ensuring that guests enjoy a personalized experience without interruptions. This innovative approach to hospitality earned the Royal Mansour the Art of Hospitality Award in 2024.
The 2026 rankings were determined by a panel of over 800 industry experts, including hoteliers, travel journalists, educators, and seasoned travelers from 13 regions around the world. Their votes are collected anonymously to ensure impartiality, with Deloitte serving as the independent adjudicator. The ceremony, held on September 15, 2026, at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, was a historic moment as it represented the first time the event was hosted outside of London.
As the pricing for a stay at the Royal Mansour begins at $1,900 per night, it is clear that this luxurious establishment prioritizes a limited capacity and bespoke service, making it a sought-after destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life. The recognition as the top hotel in Africa and its ranking among the best in the world underscores the Royal Mansour's commitment to excellence and its pivotal role in elevating Morocco's profile as a luxurious travel destination.
