La Mamounia's name derives from our gardens, known three centuries ago as
"Arset el Mamoun," named after Prince Moulay Mamoun, son of Sultan Sidi Mohamed Ben
Abdellah, ruler of Marrakech in the 18th century.
The Hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
HistoryConceived in 1922 and opened in 1923, located in the very heart of Marrakech, La
Mamounia is set amid idyllic gardens that are almost three hundred years old and surrounded
by the city's 12th century ochre-colored ramparts. The Hotel has undergone many
enlargements and refurbishments since then.
In 1986, a massive, nine-month re-creation was undertaken, bringing the Hotel to
today's level of magnificence. In 2000 and 2001, every guest Room was updated and
redesigned - combining a true Moroccan ambiance with every 21st-century convenience
For 80 years, La Mamounia has emphasized the great traditions of Moroccan
hospitality. Considered a classic example of the great age of grand hotels of the 1930's, a
unique blend of Art Deco and Moorish design.
In the heart of this Imperial city, royalty, connoisseurs and celebrities gather at the
legend called La Mamounia to relax in an atmosphere that combines history with
enchantment and luxury.
