After you’ve paid homage to Yves Saint-Laurent’s lush Jardin Majorelle and paid a visit to the snake charmers on Djemaa el Fna, Marrakech’s famed square, you’ll need a place to stay that is equally beautiful and adventurous. Here are three options for your next visit.
If Money Is No Object: [Amanjena](http://www.amanresorts.com/home.aspx?h=amanjena)
Starting Rate: $1,050
This 39-room walled enclave from Aman Resorts is 15 minutes outside the medina and nothing less than a palace. The 32 pavilion rooms have high domed ceilings, platform beds and open fireplaces fronted by their own minzahs (gazebos) and fountains. There are also seven two-story maisons—Moroccan townhouses—all with guest bedrooms, wall fountains and marble columns, plus private pools and gardens. The largest is the $3,550-a-night Al-Hamra, a two-structure complex with more than 8,000 square feet of living space, a swimming pool and private butler service.
Smart Luxury: [Riad 72](http://www.riad72.com/)
Starting Rate: €130 ($165); €285 ($362) for a suite
With just four rooms in a restored palace in the heart of Marrakech’s medina, Riad 72 is the place to go for personal attention and style without chopping off an arm (and a leg, for that matter). Enhancing the property’s original beauty are hand-carved wood ceilings and a traditional hammam. The clincher, though, might just be the tent-like roof terrace topped with a solarium. Take afternoon mint tea there and gaze out from one of the highest perches in Marrakech. Rent out the entire place for €715 (about $907) a night.
Smart Family: [Kasbah Agafay](http://www.kasbahagafay.com/)
Starting Rate: €400 ($508)
This hotel is ideal for crafting your own Arabian Nights fantasy. Set in a 150-year-old hilltop fort 20 kilometers from the city, Kasbah Agafay offers dramatic views of olive groves and the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. There are just 20 rooms and suites, including luxury tents with four-poster beds set in terraced gardens. Kids can learn how to cook traditional Moroccan dishes or take a ride on a camel.
