So the name of the Beldi Country Club
is a giveaway: everything at the beguiling,
27-room hotel amidst fields of roses - from
the earth-based pise walls to the sackcloth bags
gardeners gather blooms in - is done as it was
centuries ago.

New in Marrakech
Big things are happening in Marrakech. Or rather, small things, as aging Moorish mansions and palaces are being transformed into guesthouses, and chic hotels are springing up like oases in the desert
Although it's just steps from Marrakech's teeming souks, Riad Maji—one of the many new guesthouses deep within the ancient walled medina—is the epitome of tranquillity. Breakfast is served on the tented roof, an enchanting aerie with a view of the Atlas Mountains.

Cheap Hotels in Marrakech
The price of some Marrakech hotels can break nearly any budget, however Marrakech still has many clean hotels with a variety of amenities, and friendly service, still under £30 per night in the low season. As all budget hotels are often fully booked, especially during the summer, before Christmas and spring, our advice would be to make your reservations in good time before your trip.
This list of cheap Marrakech hotels offers visitors an alternative to some high prices that you may come across when looking for accommodation.

Mamounia Marrakech in 10 words
One of the world’s great old hotels, since opening in 1923 the Mamounia has been welcoming the rich and famous to Marrakech; Winston Churchill was one of the most celebrated guests to have frequented this hotel.
It was originally built in the 19th century as the palace of the crown prince of Morocco but under French rule the building was annexed for use as a hotel. Since independence the property passed into royal hands and is now owned by the king.

La Mamounia Marrakech: A legend
La Mamounia, Marrakech: Few hotels have inspired more glamorous and romantic stories than the grande dame of Marrakech, La Mamounia. The hotel has hosted politicians and celebrities since it opened in the 1920s. In 1943, Winston Churchill asked Franklin D Roosevelt to join him on one of his many visits, describing the hotel as 'the loveliest place on earth'. Alfred Hitchcock used it as the backdrop for his 1956 version of The Man Who Knew Too Much; Hollywood stars including Marlene Dietrich and Charlie Chaplin soon followed.
