Where to stay in Marrakech (apartments, hotels, youth hostels...)?
To fully enjoy your stay in Marrakech, it is essential that you can rest well. The choice of your accommodation is therefore of prime importance.
Marrakech being an imposing city, you will find all types of accommodation there: youth hostel, Riad or hotel outside the city center. If you want to focus on traditional accommodation, opt for a riad in the Medina.
However, if you prefer a hotel, the Guéliz district is ideal. You will easily find an affordable establishment. For a luxurious hotel, you will have to go to the Hivernage neighbourhood. La Palmeraie is also renowned for accommodation in Marrakech. Although the resorts there are comfortable, you will need to take a shuttle or taxi to explore Marrakech. You will therefore be less free to move around.
