La Mamounia Re-Opens in Marrakech




On September 29 the iconic La Mamounia hotel in Marrakech will once again be open for business. Jacques Garcia was in charge of the design team who worked on the restoration which took three years to complete. The result is a fully restored classic from the grand hotel tradition.

La Mamounia is named after its famous 200-year-old gardens, located on the edge of the walls of the old city of Marrakech. Back in the 18th century the gardens were a wedding gift to Prince Moulay Mamoun by his father, King Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah. The gardens, which now cover some 20 acres, are an extraordinary sight and contain a huge range of flora and fauna.

The restored La Mamounia now sports 136 guest rooms; 71 suites, including 7 Signature Suites; and 3 Riads, each with three bedrooms, Moroccan salons and a private terrace complete with an ozone swimming pool.

Highly anticipated after the massive renovation, La Mamounia is now again the hotel of choice in Marrakesh. Will not hesitate to send any of my guests there again. Very excited.
