Movenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi

Set in Marrakech’s Hivernage district, Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech is a five-star resort base for a golf break that also leaves room for the city. Five hectares of gardens soften the scale of its 503 rooms, while an internal link leads straight into the adjoining Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. Golf days can follow an easy rhythm here, with breakfast in the hotel, time on the courses around Marrakech, then a swim, spa visit or long dinner back among the gardens. Jemaa El Fna and M Avenue are both only minutes away, so evenings need not be confined to the resort.

The hotel works especially well for groups whose plans extend beyond the fairway. There are three swimming pools, with two maintained at 28°C during winter, plus a separate pool for children. The Cinq Mondes spa, yoga studio and fitness room give non golfers and early finishers worthwhile ways to spend the afternoon. Families have a kids’ club and babysitting available, while the gardens provide a calmer setting than a central city stay. The lobby sets the tone on arrival, with a central fountain beneath a copper chandelier hanging from the dome overhead. Water then runs from the fountain out into the grounds.

Rooms are arranged for a comfortable week away rather than a short stopover. Superior Twin Rooms measure 323 sq ft and have two single beds, alongside high-speed internet, bathrobes, slippers, ironing equipment and a pillow menu. Superior King Rooms are the same size, with garden or pool views subject to availability. Seven restaurants and a bar make it easy to vary the evenings after golf, without needing to make every meal an outing.
