Mövenpick Hotel Marrakech | 5-Night Stay in Hivernage

The Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi sits in Hivernage, a quiet district on the western side of Marrakech that grew up around hotels, gardens and the city's conference centre. You are a short drive from the walled medina yet far enough out to come back to calm. The grounds are large, with palm-shaded lawns and a long outdoor pool. Inside, the design leans on carved wood, patterned screens and Moroccan tilework rather than chrome and glass.

The stay covers five nights in a Superior room for two, booked on a room-only rate so you can decide on meals as you go. The hotel runs several restaurants on site, a spa with a traditional hammam, a fitness room and a generous pool deck with loungers. Rooms are roomy and finished in warm tones, with marble bathrooms. Breakfast can be added at booking if you would rather not head out first thing.

Hivernage puts you close to the green spaces and the old city. Theatre Royal is about 671 m away, and the Menara Gardens with their olive groves and reflecting pool sit roughly 1.4 km off. Cyber Parc is around 1.5 km, and the Koutoubia Minaret, the tallest structure in the medina, stands about 2 km away. Majorelle Garden, the cobalt-blue former home of Yves Saint Laurent, is about 2.1 km from the door.

Couples who want a calm base with pool, spa and dining on site, but the medina and gardens within easy reach. Good for a January week of warm days and Moroccan food without the crush of staying inside the old walls.
