World’s 50 Best: the most welcoming hotel in the world in 2024 is Moroccan
The Royal Mansour Marrakech, jewel of Moroccan hospitality, was crowned “the most welcoming hotel in the world” for the year 2024 by the World’s 50 Best Hotels, CNN revealed this Tuesday. The Royal Mansour Marrakech, opened in 2010, quickly established itself as a benchmark in the field of luxury hotels. Today, it is recognized worldwide for the exceptional quality of its service, being named “the most welcoming hotel in the world” in 2024 by the World’s 50 Best Hotels. This distinction, revealed this Tuesday by the CNN channel before the official publication of the list of the 50 best hotels in September, salutes the excellence of an establishment composed of a series of private riads, all nestled within a vast area of six hectares of lush gardens. Designed as a “medina within a medina”, the Royal Mansour offers its guests absolute privacy thanks to an ingenious network of secret tunnels and hidden entrances. This unique architecture guarantees total discretion, while offering a personalized service where each guest feels at home in their own palace, assisted by a dedicated butler, describes CNN.

Despite these difficult circumstances, the hotel team continued to deliver a first-rate experience to its visitors, cementing its reputation for excellence. Jean-Claude Messant, general director of the Royal Mansour collection, quoted by the media, said he was extremely proud of this award, which goes to a “fantastic” team for its ability to maintain an impeccable level of service. The Royal Mansour Marrakech, which houses four gourmet restaurants, is described by Messant as the “pearl of the Royal Mansour collection”. “We want all guests to leave our hotels with the happiest and most magical memories of their stay,” he added. This distinction adds to a series of successes for the collection, which recently reopened the Royal Mansour Casablanca, located in the heart of the art deco district of Sidi Belyout, and inaugurated the Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay, a new hotel by the sea. It was the Scottish hotel Gleneagles which received this same distinction. The recognition of the art of hospitality crowns a philosophy shared by professionals who place the customer experience at the heart of their profession, as highlighted by Emma Sleight, head of content at World’s 50 Best Hotels. The Royal Mansour Marrakech continues to elevate hospitality to an art level, confirming its status as an essential address for travelers looking for memorable and exclusive experiences.
