Where Do Celebrities Stay in Marrakech?

Morocco is one of the most easily accessible African countries, particularly from Europe.  Sitting right across from Spain & Portugal, Morocco attracts its fair share of celebrities: from David & Victoria Beckham (he celebrated his 40th birthday in Marrakech), to the Kardashians, Katy Perry, & Madonna.  Famed designer Yves Saint Laurent also had a special connection to Marrakesh, as he purchased & restored the city’s beautiful Jardin Majorelle.  So the question is: where do celebrities stay in Marrakech, Morocco?

Overview of Marrakech Hotels

La Mamounia, Where Do Celebrities Stay in Marrakech, Morocco? Girl Who Travels the World

La Mamounia is the top hotel for celebrities in Morocco.

  • La Mamounia ($1,900+) = The #1 Hotel for A-Listers in Marrakech:  La Mamounia has a storied past, with visitors such as Winston Churchill (he loved to paint here), Nelson Mandela, Alfred Hitchcock, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, The Rolling Stones, Jennifer Aniston, & of course ~ the Kardashians.  Set on a former royal estate, this hotel is often referred to as an “Architectural Masterpiece.”  It was also one of Yves Saint Laurent’s favorite places in the city.  Check prices here

A cheaper alternative close to La Mamounia: Nobu Hotel Marrakesh ($475+).

  • Amanjena Resort ($1,500+) = Where Victoria & David Beckham Stay in Marrakech:  David Beckham’s 40th birthday was held here, & he may have run into Katy Perry, John Legend, or Chrissy Teigen ~ they’ve all stayed here.  The hotel offers 1 & 2-BR villas, many with private pools.  Great for privacy; but note that Amanjena is located several miles outside of Marrakech’s downtown.

If you want to be closer to the action: El Fenn Hotel is located right in the medina, & is similarly swanky with an amazing rooftop bar.

  • Riad Yasmine ($130+) = Top Hotel for Influencers in Marrakesh:  While the hotels above are incredible ~ they may be out of many people’s price range.  If that’s the case, check out Riad Yasmine, which was made famous by bloggers like The Blonde Abroad & Hey Nadine.  Their turquoise pool (pictured below) has been shot from every angle, & it looks gorgeous in all of them. 

But note: this place books out MONTHS in advance….so BOOK EARLY!!

If Riad Yasmine is sold out (which is likely), here are a few other Marrakech riads with gorgeous turquoise pools: BO Riad Boutique Hotel & Spa (near-identical pool to Yasmine for 1/2 the price), Palais Moulay Said & SPA (huge turquoise pool), or Riad Dar Saad Hammam & Spa, a 4-star hotel with 2 pools.

Amanjena was by far the best hotel experience I’ve ever had.  Amazing design & food. Staff were always on-the-spot instantly and very friendly. Food spoke for itself both: Italian and Moroccan cuisine. Views from the room were spectacular.”

It’s easy to pair a trip to Morocco with a jaunt over to Spain or Portugal ~ as this is only an hour-long flight.  It also puts you close to incredible islands like Mallorca & Ibiza, which make for an easy stopover before heading home…
