Os melhores Hotéis:
- AmanJena (o melhor hotel de Marrakech, só para quem pode e percebe...claro! Se não ficarem, vale a pena almoçar ou jantar)
- Royal Mansur (Hotel do Rei, obra única Marroquina, detalhes maravilhosos de arquitectura, serviço impecável e pretensioso, com preços absurdos!)
- La Mamounia (o grande clássico foi tudo remodelado por Jack Garcia dos Costes de Paris, a não perder)
