Every guide covers the major hotel options, the neighborhood trade-offs, and the season that actually suits your trip — not just the postcard months.

Historic-center grandeur vs. quieter design hotels a short cab ride from the sights.
Riads vs. resort-style properties, and why the season you pick matters more here than almost anywhere.
