A haven of peace

Once upon a time there was La Mamounia, the hotel of a thousand and one nights in Marrakech. Since its opening in 1923, the mythical ochre palace has seduced thousands of visitors in search of luxury, calm and voluptuousness. Located a few minutes from the Jamaa EL Fena square, the luxury hotel is in the heart of the city of Marrakech. True jewel of the Arab-Andalusian architecture, La Mamounia combines Moroccan prestige and contemporary luxury. It thus becomes the icon of Moroccan elegance and hospitality. Entirely renovated, the palace is now considered a showcase of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with Zelliges, lanterns, ironwork, tadelakt and mosaics associated with warm and shimmering colors.
Moreover, the Mamounia has nothing to envy the palace of yesteryear. Protected by medieval ramparts, the hotel has seduced the greats of this world for several years. Winston Churchill, Hitchcock, Edith Piaf, Charlie Chaplin, Jacques Chirac, or even Orlando Bloom who appreciated the place.
