The 15 Best Hotels in Morocco To Book With Points [Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, IHG]

Morocco is a destination that seems to be on everyone’s radar, full of gorgeous hotels, natural wonders, and cultural gems. Destinations like Tangier and Taghazout are inviting seaside retreats, while cities like Casablanca and Marrakech feature bustling souks and medinas.

Although Morocco can be a relatively affordable vacation destination, hotels where you can earn and redeem points are changing the game. They offer luxury, high-end amenities and memorable experiences you may not be able to have elsewhere, such as Agafay desert glamping or traditional riad stays.

Check out these top hotels in Morocco you can book using points.

Getting to Morocco

It’s getting easier than ever to reach Morocco from the U.S., thanks to newly launched routes like Delta’s Atlanta (ATL) to Marrakech (RAK) or the nonstop route between Newark (EWR) and Marrakech on United. You could also fly Morocco’s national airline, Royal Air Maroc, to Casablanca (CMN), from airports like New York City (JFK), Miami (MIA), or Washington, D.C. (IAD).

It’s also an easy weekend trip if you’re already in Europe, as many airlines fly from destinations such as London, Paris, or Madrid to various hubs in Morocco. Or, if you want to visit several areas of Morocco, using low-cost carrier Ryanair is an excellent plan. The airline flies between many Moroccan cities at extremely affordable prices — as low as $20 one way, in some cases.

Hot Tip:

Utilizing the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program to fly Royal Air Maroc is an easy way to affordably travel to Morocco. In the past, we’ve found one-way business class tickets to North Africa for as few as 45,000 Alaska miles. Learn how to earn more Alaska miles in our detailed guide.

What To Know About Visiting Morocco

Morocco is a country in North Africa. Although many areas of Morocco are safe, it’s important to respect the local customs. Female travelers may feel more comfortable keeping their shoulders, legs, and heads covered, and might want to take extra precautions if traveling in certain areas of Morocco alone. Check the U.S. Department of State website for any travel warnings.

The country’s currency is the Moroccan dirham, and it’s a closed currency, meaning it’s more difficult to obtain outside of Morocco. Consider taking some cash out of an ATM upon arrival, which may come in handy when bargaining in the souks. That said, all major hotels should accept credit cards.

Morocco’s weather varies, but it is often warm and dry, and it can get extremely hot in the summer. Make sure to pack layers if you’re heading to the desert or the mountains, where it can be chilly at night.

Marriott

If you can’t get enough of that mountain view, the hotel’s sophisticated rooftop garden and deck.
