LA MAMOUNIA
La Mamounia, has over time become one of the world’s finest and best loved hotels. In the early years it attracted an exciting ex-pat crowd and was a favourite haunt of royalty, celebrities and politicians, including Sir Winston Churchill, who was inspired to paint views of the distant snow-capped Atlas Mountains.
La Mamounia is sheltered within the walls of the old city and is the perfect retreat for those looking for luxury and relaxation under the warmth of the Moroccan sun. Set in 17 acres of parkland, the gardens are a true delight with 700 year-old olive trees, hibiscus, acacia, orange trees and borders of fragrant colour. There is a small pavilion where you can take tea and admire the wonderful surroundings, or for the more energetic, two clay tennis courts and ozone heated swimming pool.
This beautiful hotel has recently been redesigned by the internationally acclaimed designer, Jacques Garcia. The splendid Moroccan palace combines an intriguing blend of traditional Moorish and contemporary style and opulence with state-of-the-art facilities to create uniquely luxurious and elegant suites and bedrooms.
La Mamounia makes the perfect oasis amongst the hustle of the old medina. With its enticing swimming pool and spacious terraces, the fabulous new spa, four magnificent gastronomic restaurants with two Michelin star chefs, five bars, a tea room and library, La Mamounia has everything you could wish for, and the excitement of Djemaa el Fna square is only a few minutes away.
