While many people come to Marrakech to explore the old city and its colourful souks along with a stay in a riad, for travelers hoping to experience Marrakech’s lively nightlife a stay in Hivernage is more appropriate. Hivernage – home to the biggest hotels and nightclubs including Lotus Club, Jad Mahal, Theatro, and even the famous Comptoir Darna – is a happening spot until the wee hours of the morning. In our latest post, we’ve selected the best hotels for experiencing Marrakech’s nightlife.

Es Saadi Palace

Resort, Hotel

This is theplace to stay for those looking to party! Not only is the hotel home to the Casino de Marrakech, but also the historical Theatro nightclub where a live show kicks off nightly with fire dancers, acrobats, live music and more, before a DJ keeps the crowds moving until the very early hours. Housed in the former casino theatre, Theatro is Marrakech’s premier nightclub, known to attract the best DJs. The on-site brasserie, Epicurean, is a popular dinner option for both locals and expats with the DJ spinning until 4am.

Sofitel Marrakech Imperial Palace

Hotel

Located in the heart of the nightlife, Sofitel Marrakech is not only a great place to crash after a night on the town – the pool is perfect for recuperating after a big night – but the So Night Lounge is located on site. Travelers only have step outside the main entrance to be transported to the magical gardens and So Fun and So Good, where a live band entertains the crowds before a DJ hits the decks. But for those who prefer to head off site, the nearby Lotus Club and Le Palace restaurant are just steps away.

La Mamounia

La Mamounia

The grande dame of Marrakech, La Mamounia is located just inside the medina walls, but with direct car access – perfect for nights out in skirts and heels and returning home late. Starting the night off with cocktails in the gardens of the Italian bar is both chic and cool, before heading out for the evening or end the night in the Churchill Bar. The Grand Casino de La Mamounia is located on site and perfect for those looking to not venture too far.

The Pearl offers drinks on the rooftop terrace with 360 degree views of Marrakech as the sun sets over the palm trees and Atlas Mountains in the background. Then, when it’s time to head out, Le Comptoir Darna cabaret, Jad Mahal where the cabaret and dancing entertain diners, and even the casino at nearby Es Saadi Palace. And for the return, the rooms are comfortable and spacious with a natural light throughout the hotel. The main lobby is also impressive with its rich purples and Moroccan touches.

Hivernage Hotel & Spa

While there are no nightclubs located on site, the Hivernage Hotel & Spa is also located in the heart of the nightlife and just steps from the Marrakech medina. It’s a great budget option with standard rooms and a great on-site restaurant.
