La Mamounia

An oasis of arabesque elegance
VERIFIED LUXURY
With about 20 acres filled with orange trees, rose bushes, cacti, palms and olive trees, La Mamounia is surrounded by beauty. But it doesn’t just end on the hotel’s verdant gardens, which used to be owned by Prince Mamoun in the 18th century.

From the moment you step through the front doors of this palatial Marrakech masterpiece, you’ll be immersed in stylish grandeur. Light and color play off one another to entrance you, while distinctly arabesque artwork, lush velvety fabrics, warm woods and the gentle sound of running water from the lobby’s fountain complete the sensory experience.

In addition to the fragrant grounds and fetching design, La Mamounia is the place to visit for a fabulous poolside brunch or breakfast or for delectable desserts from France’s Pierre Hermé.
