Three MICHELIN Keys · An extraordinary stay
A century into its life, La Mamounia remains the most famous hotel in Marrakech, and by extension all of Morocco. And if there’s one key to its longevity, it may be that its proprietors treat its history with the appropriate reverence, but no more — nothing is off limits for renovation if the result will improve the experience, and its centennial update was both thorough and highly effective. Thus newcomers will be appropriately dazzled, and longtime repeat visitors even more so. The entrance is grand, both in its visual impact and in the warmth of the welcome extended — the service, like the aesthetic, is powerful but never excessive.
The rooms are plush and elegant, the suites downright opulent, and the Exceptional Suites are exactly what they say they are. And the accommodations are only half the story here, if that — La Mamounia’s restaurants include L’Asiatique, by Jean-Georges, and L’Italien, by Simone Zanoni, and the Salon de Thé features a menu by Pierre Hermé. The intimate Bar Churchill is complemented by the livelier Bar Majorelle, inspired by the work of the eponymous painter; a complete list of other gathering places is beyond our ambition, but would include a wine cellar, a game room, and a plush and elegant 20-seat cinema.
Perhaps more impressive than any indoor space, however, are the 17 acres of centuries-old gardens, featuring olive trees, orange trees, palms, flower beds, shaded paths, and the vegetable gardens that supply the hotel’s kitchens. This land was an 18th-century wedding gift from Sultan Sidi Mohammed to his son, Moulay Mamoun, for whom La Mamounia is named.
