Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech spreads among olive groves on the Route du Golf Royal, south-east of the city, with the Atlas as a backdrop. Guests arrive through Marrakech Menara Airport, and the question comes before departure: the hotel car, a taxi outside the terminal, or a transfer booked in advance? This guide compares the three, describes the arrival step by step and answers the questions hotel guests ask. The price of our transfer is in the table at the top of this guide: it is the price of the hotel's booking page, per vehicle, known before you pay.

Where is the hotel compared with the airport?

The Route du Golf Royal leaves Marrakech to the south-east, away from the centre. The airport is south-west. The journey runs along the ramparts and then out of the city: allow about twenty minutes outside rush hour. The exact distance and journey time are in the table of this guide, taken from the hotel's page.

The three ways to reach the hotel

The hotel car

Mandarin Oriental offers a chauffeured car service, to be requested from the concierge before arrival, on the hotel's terms.

A taxi outside the airport

Taxis wait in front of the terminal. The fare is agreed before you get in, in dirhams, and small notes help. Say "Mandarin Oriental, Route du Golf Royal": the entrance is discreet and the full name avoids a detour. With a baby, the seat is not guaranteed.

A private transfer booked in advance

You book online before you leave. Your driver waits at the arrivals exit with a sign bearing your name, loads the luggage and drives you straight to the hotel entrance. The price is fixed per vehicle, not per person, paid online, and a baby or child seat is free on request. Flight delayed? Your driver waits, whatever the delay, at no extra charge.

On arrival: four things that make it easy

  1. Switch your phone on as soon as you land: your driver can message you if the hall is busy.
  2. Collect your luggage, then look for the sign with your name at the arrivals exit.
  3. Confirm the destination: "Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech, Route du Golf Royal".
  4. Check that the child seat requested at booking is fitted before you set off: it was prepared for you.

Arriving at night

Many flights land in Marrakech late in the evening. The private transfer runs at any hour. Between midnight and six in the morning a night supplement applies; it is shown before payment, never after. Reception expects you at the time you gave them.

During your stay

From the Route du Golf Royal, the Agafay desert is less than an hour away, the foothills of the Atlas about an hour, and the medina some twenty minutes by car for a day in the souks with a driver who waits for you. The outings available from the hotel, with their price per vehicle, are on the hotel's page and on the excursions page. For the return to the airport, book the same way: same fixed price, departure from the hotel entrance at the agreed time.
