Neighborhood guide with prices and local insights
Medina (Old City)
The beating heart of Marrakech — a UNESCO World Heritage labyrinth of narrow alleyways, spice-scented souks, and over 600 traditional riads. Djemaa el-Fna square erupts nightly with food stalls, storytellers, and musicians. Stay here for the authentic, immersive experience.
$50-180/night
Best for: First-time visitors, culture seekers, photographers
Gueliz (Ville Nouvelle)
The modern French-built new town with wide boulevards, international restaurants, rooftop bars, and brand-name shopping along Avenue Mohammed V. Air-conditioned hotels with pools are standard here — a cooler, more contemporary alternative to the Medina.

Best for: Business travelers, modern comfort seekers, nightlife
Hivernage
Marrakech's upscale hotel quarter between the Medina walls and Gueliz. Five-star properties with lush gardens, swimming pools, and spa facilities line the leafy avenues. Walking distance to both the souks and the modern city.

Best for: Luxury travelers, spa lovers, honeymoons
Kasbah
The old imperial quarter south of the Medina, home to the Saadian Tombs, El Badi Palace ruins, and the Royal Palace. Quieter than the central Medina with fewer tourists. Some of the city's most beautiful boutique riads hide behind these ancient walls.
$40-120/night
Best for: History lovers, couples seeking quiet, riad enthusiasts
Palmeraie
A sprawling oasis of 100,000+ palm trees 10 km northeast of the Medina. Resort-style hotels with private pools, golf courses, and camel rides. The escape-from-the-city option with desert vibes just minutes from the action.

Best for: Families, resort lovers, golfers

Historic quarter adjacent to the Kasbah with the beautifully restored Bahia Palace and the vibrant Mellah Market. Increasingly popular with travelers seeking authenticity without the Medina crowds. Budget-friendly riads with rooftop terraces.

Hotels in Marrakech — FAQ
Where is the best area to stay in Marrakech?
For the authentic experience, stay in the Medina in a traditional riad ($50-180/night). For modern comfort, Gueliz ($60-150/night) has air-conditioned hotels with pools. For luxury, Hivernage ($150-500/night) is the upscale hotel quarter. Budget travelers should look at the Mellah quarter ($15-50/night).
What is a riad and should I stay in one?
A riad is a traditional Moroccan house built around a central courtyard, often with a plunge pool and rooftop terrace. Staying in one is the quintessential Marrakech experience. Prices range from $15/night for basic riads to $500+ for luxury boutique properties. Most are in the Medina — expect narrow alleys to reach them.
How much do hotels cost in Marrakech?
Marrakech is one of Africa's best-value destinations. Budget riads start at $15/night in the Mellah. Mid-range riads and hotels in the Medina/Gueliz average $50-120/night. Five-star properties in Hivernage and the Palmeraie range from $150-500+/night. Prices drop 30-40% in summer (June-August).
When is the cheapest time for Marrakech hotels?
June through August offers the lowest hotel rates — 30-40% below peak season. While temperatures exceed 40°C, hotels with pools are very affordable. November is another sweet spot: mild weather (22°C) and prices still low before the Christmas rush.
Is Marrakech safe for tourists?
Marrakech is generally safe for tourists. The main annoyances are persistent touts in the souks and aggressive taxi pricing — not safety threats. Use standard precautions: keep valuables secure in crowded areas, agree on taxi prices beforehand, and stick to well-lit areas at night. The tourist police are active around Djemaa el-Fna.
Can I book Marrakech hotels with cryptocurrency?
Yes. Travorio accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 100+ other cryptocurrencies for hotel bookings in Marrakech. Since Morocco restricts local crypto transactions, booking through Travorio lets you use your crypto for accommodation without any local regulatory issues.
