La Mamounia, a symbol of traditional Moroccan hospitality, is located in the heart of the imperial city, nestled in a 17 acre park just 5 minutes walk from the Jma El-Fna square.
ABOUT
"The most lovely spot in the whole world." A comment not from TripAdvisor, but rather from Winston Churchill, a regular Mamounia visitor as he painted the Atlas Mountains from its gorgeous roof terrace. Other famous heads on the hotel’s beds have included Nelson Mandela, the Rolling Stones and Alfred Hitchcock. Read the sacred Livre d’Or (guestbook) for the full roll call, before adding your own autograph. You might as well show off: wholly refurbished from 2007-9, the five-star Mamounia remains the iconic residence in Morocco.
ROOMS
There are 135 stylish, high-ceilinged rooms, plus 71 suites and a trio of separate riads, each with three bedrooms, private terraces, salons and a pool. Carefully balancing comfort and Moorish/Art Deco opulence, every room has striking views of city, gardens or mountains.
FACILITIES
La Mamounia’s setting is like a sleight of hand: hidden in 17 pretty acres of gardens and parkland, yet under ten minutes from Marrakech’s focal Jma El Fna square. The facilities are just as impressive: four restaurants, including two with Michelin-star chefs; five bars; a 27,000sq.ft spa offering 80 treatments; a pool; tennis and squash courts; a casino; and a driving range, with two nearby golf courses for good measure.
MORE INFO
Culture’s a big thing at La Mamounia, with regular art exhibitions and fascinating photography lining the walls. And its brilliant staff are able to arrange anything: souk tours, skiing and probably even an easel on the roof...

These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver.
