Long regaled as the favourite hotel of Moroccan royalty, an historic property in Casablanca has been returned to its former glory following an extensive rebuild under the Royal Mansour brand.

In the music industry they talk about ‘second album syndrome’, where the release that follows a breakthrough artist’s runaway debut has to overcome critics’ sky-high expectations. Well, it turns out there may be a hotel industry equivalent.

With its development backed by Morocco’s king, Royal Mansour Marrakech opened to universal acclaim back in 2010. A showcase for the country’s history of craftsmanship, its aesthetics remain flawless and the guest experience is consistently superb: it’s one of my favourite hotels in the world.
