The election of the hotels was conducted through secret ballot in the famous Hilton Paris Hotel Opera.
Besides Royal Mansour, four hotels in Kenya and Mauritius competed for the grand prize of the best hotel in Africa.
Opened in 2008, the Royal Mansour has no rooms. However, guests have their own individual three story riad mixing traditional Moroccan beauty with all Western luxuries.
According to the British celebrity news website Instyle, the Royal Mansour is “the only hotel in Africa to have a Michelin star, where you can spend the evening dining in either of the incredible French chef Yannick Alleno's restaurants.”
The same source added that the Royal Mansour is the favorite hotel for famous former English footballer David Beckham.
With this prize awarded to Royal Mansour, Marrakech, one of the top tourist destinations in the world, is for the third consecutive year home of the best hotel in Africa.
Selman Hotel and Palais Namaskar Hotel were named in 2013 and 2014 respectively best hotels in Africa.
