Why do people love staying in your hotel? Since we first opened in 1923, La Mamounia has been a symbol of traditional Moroccan hospitality and a classic example of the great age of grand hotels. Our history is still being written and while our luxurious style is timeless, we move with the times and offer everything a modern traveller is seeking. Guests love the craftsmanship of our interiors, our gardens, our location and our warm and gracious staff.
What is there to do in the area or on site? La Mamounia is situated at the edge of Marrakech’s old city, steps away from the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque and gardens, Jemaa el-Fna Square and the city’s famous medina. La Mamounia is a city-centre oasis, nestled amid 20 acres of historic gardens, with clay tennis courts, two pools, spa and hammam, private cinema and wine cellar for private dining.
What kind of breakfast do you offer? Breakfast is served daily from 7-11am at Le Pavillon de la Piscine overlooking our iconic swimming pool and is a sight to behold! There is a buffet of hot and cold dishes as well as an a la carte menu that offers breakfast classics along with dishes that celebrate our traditional Moroccan heritage, such as tagine of quail eggs with khlie (dried beef), local fruits, nuts and honey.
Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally? We carried out an extensive renovation project in 2020 that included the reimagining of our restaurant concepts, which include four restaurants — Le Marocain, a quintessentially Moroccan experience; L’Italien par Jean-Georges and L’Asiatique par Jean-Georges, both by celebrated chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten; and all-day dining at Le Pavillon de la Piscine. Le Salon de Thé par Pierre Hermé serves refreshments throughout the day, as well as afternoon tea. Locally, our concierge recommends guests try the restaurant at La Maison Arabe.
Which are your most popular room types, and why? Our Park View Executive Suites are very popular with guests for their double balconies with endless views across our lush gardens towards the Atlas Mountains. These suites offer a bedroom with a large king size bed, a living room with a sofa bed equipped with the most refined tailor-made furniture and a beautifully designed bathroom with a separate shower and bathtub.
What facilities do you have for children and can you fit extra beds in your rooms? Children are very welcome at La Mamounia! Our Salle de Jeux offers various activities and services to delight our younger guests, such as pool tables, pinball machines and board games. Children are welcome to explore our extensive gardens and try out a handmade ice cream from our cart available daily. We can fit extra beds into some of our suite categories. The reservations team would be happy to assist with these arrangements.
