The Restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech

"Three restaurants - from traditional Moroccan to Mediterranean - have all gastronomic requirements covered, while the spa, offering exclusive massage suites, has two hammams, an indoor pool and an option to enjoy outdoor treatments under the shade of the olive trees in the adjacent garden"

"Plus there’s the wraparound terrace which is an absolute must hit at cocktail hour; a banging new Hakkasan restaurant with DJ that serves late night; and an Andalucian-style spa with an Arabian massage that’ll leave you wanting to do nothing but flop back onto one of those pool side loungers—whiling away the afternoon, waiting for the sun to slip behind the visible Atlas mountains and turn the sky the same color as the city itself"

"Its 54 villas, nine suites, three restaurants and world-class spa are set outside the medina in a gorgeous, two-hectare garden of blooming roses"
