Hotel Amalay

Beneath the avenue palms of Boulevard Mohamed V, Hotel Amalay occupies a mid-rise block in Guéliz — Marrakech's French-built new town — where the grid streets and pavement cafés feel a long way from the Medina's tight derbs, yet the Koutoubia minaret is visible on clear mornings from upper-floor balconies.

Rooms carry the expected three-star kit: flat-screen TV, minibar, private bathroom with bathtub and bidet, and in-room breakfast delivery as an alternative to the ground-floor restaurant. A bar and 24-hour front desk serve the largely business and transit crowd that gravitates to this boulevard address.

Guéliz positions guests near the Carré Eden mall and the city's main taxi ranks, making onward trips to the Medina or Menara Gardens straightforward. Check-in and check-out share the same noon hour, which tightens turnaround but baggage storage covers the gap.
