❤️ My Favorite Hotels in Morocco

I've always loved hotels. This is why I ended up studying hospitality at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management and working for Starwood, Kempinski and Mandarin Oriental. I've been a Morocco specialist since 2016, which means that I've had the opportunity to stay in and inspect some wonderful properties over the years. Here, I'm sharing a collection of my favorite hotels.
