La Maison Arabe Marrakech

Opened in the 1940s, La Maison Arabe was a popular dining place for the rich and famous (Winston Churchill was a patron). It closed in the 1980s but reopened in 1998 as a hotel under the new ownership of Italian blueblood and African antiques collector Frederic Ruspoli. His collection is now the centrepiece of luxuriously restored suites and rooms, most with private terraces, set around central courtyards. In terms of luxury, its suites rival La Mamounia, and the in-house restaurant, hammam (traditional steam bath) and the new swimming pool are well worth a visit.

La Mamounia

Set within lush gardens (once the royal grounds of the Saadians) and with fine views of the Atlas Mountains, this art deco luxury hotel has been the place to stay in Marrakech for the rich and famous since it opened in the 1920s. Winston Churchill described it as 'the loveliest spot in the whole world' and was a frequent visitor - the Churchill Bar is named in his honour. In its heyday, it wasn't so much a hotel as a way of life, with a casino to rival Monte Carlo and silver screen movie stars sipping highballs at high tea. A major sumptuous overhaul is now complete and La Mamounia is once again the grande dame of Marrakech.

Les Jardins de la Koutoubia

Tucked behind the Jemaa el Fna, Les Jardins de la Koutoubia has 100 rooms and suites, clustered around a palm-filled courtyard with a large pool, decked out in a smart, spiffy, modern Moroccan style. Another major draw is its sleek, serene spa, which offers traditional hammam treatments. The piano bar is a prime spot for an evening cocktail, and you can dine on a range of international cuisines from India to France on the patio, garden, or rooftop. For location and space, it can't be beaten.

Address: 26 Rue de la Koutoubia, Marrakech, Morocco

Riad Al Massarah

This riad (courtyard guesthouse) is the definition of Marrakech cool, with its blend of traditional lofty architecture, handsome custom-made furnishings and ultramodern bathroom fittings by Philippe Starck. Proprietors Michael and Michel are blazing the trail for responsible riad tourism with clever use of natural light and solar energy, contributions to local charities, and standard-setting wages for their top-notch staff. With such thoughtful attention to detail, restorative massages and an acclaimed in-house chef, the Riad Al Massarah is an idyllic spot to unwind by day and sleep exceptionally well at night.

Address: 26 Derb Jedid, Medina, Morocco

Riad Eden

A snug, comfortable riad in Marrakech with four standard rooms and two suites, well located for the Jemaa el Fna, the Badi and Bahia Palaces and the souks. The large living room invites banter among guests but the real hang-out spot is the kitchen, where you can watch the in-house chef create tasty meals from scratch and pick up a few pointers. Sunny balconies and a shaded roof terrace with a view of the Koutoubia make the Eden a heavenly retreat at the right price.

Riyad El Cadi

This elegant guest house is a maze of historic riads set around five courtyards and faceted with private balconies, terraces, staircases and light wells. Each of the rooms has its own décor scheme with custom furnishings and antiques. They range from the cupola-capped Ottoman suite with Turkish tile and latticework harem balcony to the Chaouen junior suite with an 18th-century Moroccan woodwork ceiling and inviting fireplace. Among the mansion's many charms are a pool with Jacuzzi, subterranean hammam, in-house chef, and well-stocked libraries and wine cellar.

Sofitel Marrakech

Set just outside the medina walls, this is the most accessible of the Hivernage hotels from the old city - about 10 minutes from Jemaa el Fna. Each of the 346 rooms has its own terrace or balcony, and south-facing ones enjoy views of the gardens and Atlas mountains. The hotel has a large pool, well-tended gardens, passable restaurants and a tearoom, plus a stylish bar with a generous happy hour. Among its other assets are a business centre, conference facilities and a prime location, close to the medina and only a block or two from the best restaurants and clubs in the Hivernage.
