Introduction to La Mamounia
Introduction
If the romantic in you yearns for the chance to sample luxury from a
bygone era, without compromising on modern essentials, if your choice
of Moroccan hotel needs to fulfil an Arabian Nights fantasy or a longing
for some Art Deco decadence, then the legendary La Mamounia, which
Churchill called “the loveliest spot in the whole world” is sure to inspire.
Built in 1923, this palatial 230 room hotel is set in 17 acres of lush
gardens, full of orange trees, palms and exotic plants – a walled oasis in
the heart of the ancient quarter of Marrakech. Those who have chosen
Marrakech for its vibrancy and images of a colourful past will enjoy this
reflection of the city’s eclecticism. The hotel has several fabulous themed
suites among its guest rooms and for dining a choice of five varied
restaurants. These include L’Imperiale, where formal gourmet dining
invokes the heyday of the ocean liner (opened during the festive season)
whilst Le Marocain serves traditional Moroccan fare in splendid pillared
surroundings. The L’Italien, decorated in an Art Deco style, is offering a
menu inspired by Venetian cuisine.
Partake in active sport (floodlit tennis, squash, fitness equipment and
golf driving range) or indulge in nothing more energetic than a few lengths
of the outdoor pool, a spot of pampering in the spa or a stroll round the
hotel’s boutiques.
As the sun sets on the bars overlooking the gardens and pool,
seek out the convivial atmosphere of the Churchill Piano bar, the 1920s
inspired nightclub and private lounge, or the old-world glamour of
Le Grand Casino.
Of the seven stunning themed suites, we particularly like the
traditionally Moroccan Menzeh Suite, the romantic Honeymoon
Suite decorated in gentle pastels and of course the English drawing room
style of the Churchill Suite, as well as the recently opened La Mamounia
1930’s Suite, which has been designed in classic Art Deco style.
Ambassador Suites offer spacious accommodation and a good sized
bedroom and lounge. The three independent villas each have three
bedrooms with separate bathrooms, a lounge with TV, VCR and hi-fi,
garden, outdoor Jacuzzi and kitchen.
