Morrocan architecture is diverse and distinctive, featured by white walls, stucco roofs, and geometric patterns. The designs reflect the country’s rich and complex history, a melting pot of Spanish, Islamic, and African influence. And this is no different inside the Mamounia, a culmination of exquisite Morrocan design. The architecture is so impressive, in fact, that the hotel spa is considered one of the most magnificent indoor pools in the world.
Haute Cuisine
If you seek a night away from the frenzied streets of Marrakech, the kitchen of La Mamounia offers a Mediterranean culinary experience like no other. Choose from a selection of diverse restaurants and bars, depending on what kind of mood you’re in.
Le Bar de la Piscine is deep in the heart of the hotel gardens and framed by lush surroundings. Sip a fruit juice by the pool or choose from a diverse menu including monkfish, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or lobster roll.
Le Bar Majorelle offers a cozy ambience and colourful interiors. The bistro-style restaurant includes options ranging from tender poached leek to sea bream ceviche. For those with a sweet tooth, finish off the night with a traditional Moroccan pastry.
