The 12 Best Hotels in Morocco (2025) | Condé Nast Traveler

"This rare palm-framed fantasyland near Ouarzazate—its name translating as “House of Dreams”—was conjured two decades ago by Parisian creative Thierry Teyssier, who re-envisaged a 200-year-old ochre kasbah and rammed-earth ramparts to honor Berber heritage with authenticity, elegance, and unrivaled romance; today, a handful of castle rooms are joined by spacious suites at the edge of Louis Benech–landscaped grounds. Teyssier’s past lives as a theater actor and event planner inform a disrupter’s approach to hospitality, with every soul-stirring scene art-directed to enchant through delicate, tactile interiors, seductive scents, and unexpected curios: unprompted poolside pomegranate juices, candlelit Berber tents for secret suppers, and personally addressed hand-penned scrolls or other gifts at bedtime. Guests can roam vast desert-scapes by four-by-four or let staff plan a picnic in a villager’s vegetable garden, and there is no lobby, restaurant, or bar—just beautiful spaces unfettered by telephones, menus, or minibars. The emotive, community-rooted ethos shows deep respect for Morocco’s remote rural places, with interdependence that cultivates a richer appreciation on both sides." - Lauren Burvill
