The Oberoi, Marrakech

Straight from the heart – one of the best experiences ever! The staff at The Oberoi Marrakech serve with genuine warmth and care, making you feel truly special. The rooms are stunning, housekeeping is flawless, and the restaurants are exceptional. Every detail is taken care of impeccably. We’re already planning our next trip here!

It is quite overwhelming to try to explain why The Oberoi Marrakech is perfection, and is quite possibly the best in the world. My wife and I have been lucky enough to stay in some of the world’s best hotels, but this was our first Oberoi experience. It will not be our last. I should explain that our requirements were quite precise. My wife has had a year of illness and is recovering from quite major surgery. We wanted somewhere warm, but not a long haul flight from the UK. We wanted somewhere luxurious, with enough excellent restaurants that we did not have to leave the hotel. We wanted somewhere that did not require climbing stairs. We wanted excellent service. Oh, and we wanted a private pool. It took quite a lot of research to find The Oberoi, but the research was worth it. Let me start with the building and the architecture. It is absolutely spectacular, and the quality of the building is incredible, with stunning marble. You could take photographs all day. Our villa was astonishing. It was huge, but not intimidating. The ceilings must have been 25 feet high, so the sense of space is truly majestic. The bathroom and dressing room are perfect. The bed and bedding were perfection, and we both slept wonderfully well. Our terrace must be 20 metres long. The beautiful pool is 15 metres, and you can genuinely swim. Breakfast on the terrace, looking at the Atlas Mountains is unforgettable. Lunch in Azur, beside the pool, is delicious, with a sufficiently varied menu, so you can try something new every day, even though we lunched there every day. Dinner is either Moroccan in Tamimt, or Indian in Rivayat. Again, the variety in the menu is generous, and cooking is superb in both. We both thought that Rivayat produced the best Indian food we had ever tasted. What really sets Oberoi apart from any other hotel experience is the staff. Service throughout the hotel is personal and totally charming. It is never obsequious, but the attention to detail is astonishing. They knew our favourite dishes, knew which wines we liked, my wife’s favourite nos-nos coffee, and the restaurant manager knew that my wife had been slightly disappointed by her massage the previous evening. Incredible focus on the guest experience. It is probably invidious to single out individuals in such a wonderful team, but we thought El Habib was the most perfect manager that we have met in the last thirty years, and has a stellar future in hotel management. We were also hugely impressed by Taha and the divine Karima in Rivayat. The Spa is absolutely fantastic. My wife had one massage , which she declared to be the best she has ever had, and I had the best manicure I have ever had. In short, The Oberoi was absolutely perfect for what we wanted, and I cannot think of any way in which it could be improved. I know it has already won many accolades, but I am pretty certain that The Oberoi Marrakech must be in the top ten hotels of the world, and may even be the best if you have specific requirements like ours.

🌿 A Soulful Retreat at The Oberoi, Marrakech 🌿 By Christina ✨ "I stepped into The Oberoi for a spa retreat… and found myself wrapped in beauty, kindness, and absolute grace." ✨ From the very first moment, I felt transported into a haven of peace and refinement. Insaf, Mimi, all the Spa team ,and every single member of the team were truly wonderful — caring, attentive, and full of light. The service? Absolutely flawless. The ambiance? Sublime. The kindness? So genuine. 🚲 Biking peacefully through the lush gardens between treatments was pure happiness. And the treatments… what can I say? Divine. By far the most exceptional in all of Marrakech — no comparison possible. When I left, I was spoiled with thoughtful gifts 💐🍫 and delicate touches from the Spa team and the Management — including a beautiful perfume bottle that I’ll always treasure. 🧴✨ The Oberoi will forever hold a special place in my heart — not only for its beauty and elegance, but also because it was the dreamlike setting of my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding, a memory engraved in all our minds… and still fondly recalled by the staff. I’ll be back soon for another rejuvenating escape. Because The Oberoi isn’t just a destination — it’s an emotion. With heartfelt gratitude, Christina

The hotel is magical and the attention to detail spectacular. The building is stunning and the staff are so friendly and helpful. It really was perfect! We had a deluxe villa with private pool which was big enough to swim in - not just a plunge pool. The grounds were extensive and it was lovely to walk around it every day. The spa was excellent and the massage was spot on.

Excellent hotel. The staff make this hotel what it is. You are treated like royalty. The food, the room etc etc was outstanding. Would highly recommend this hotel. Thankyou for a lovely stay and making me feel very special. Will definitely be back. James
