Lonely Planet review

A languid counterpoint to Dubai's go-go scene, Marrakech feels more like a hammam than a high-rise, with key-hole doorways, north-African wall tile and flickering candle lanterns casting moody shadows. The subtle and earthy cooking includes harira, a coriander-spiced lamb soup; the Moroccan signature dish pastilla (pigeon pie); and of course couscous royale and tagine - we recommend the melt-off-the-bone lamb shank with preserved lemon.

One caveat: book a table inside the main dining room (ideally in view of the soulful Fez-wearing oud player), not on the balcony overlooking the office-tower-like hotel lobby.
