One of the most famous hotels in the world, the Royal Mansour is synonymous with solid-gold luxury. The Grand Riad is entered through a pretty olive-tree patio and spans three floors that can be reached by a cast-iron elevator. The ground floor has a stylish Moroccan-inspired lounge, dining room, bar, library, professional kitchen, and a private pool and gardens. The second floor has three bedrooms, each with an adjoined dressing room and a separate bathroom. Each one is an extravaganza of silk, marble and mashrabiyas (carved woodwork). The roof terrace has a tented lounge, dining room, private hammam, fitness room, home cinema and outdoor shower. The terrace has unmatched views across the Atlas Mountains and the Koutoubia Mosque.
