"Marrakech is famous for its pocket-sized riad houses, hidden away in the bustle of the city-center medina — but more or less the opposite approach is taken by the Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech. With its 134 villas, suites, and rooms, it’s twenty times the size of a riad, and spread as it is over an estate that spans nearly a square mile, it offers the kind of tranquility that nothing in the old city can match." - Tablet Hotels
