"The Hotel La Mamounia" Morocco Hotel Tip by traveldave

The famous Hotel La Mamounia in Marrakech is rated as one of the top hotels in all of Africa. This hotel was a favorite of Winston Churchill during his numerous trips to Morocco. Opened in 1923, it is in a building that was formerly a palace and features both Art Deco and Moorish-style architecture. The hotel is also known for its extensive gardens. I did not stay here, but wandered around the lobby and gardens.

Originally built with 100 rooms, the Hotel la Mamounia has been expanded and renovated over the decades, and now offers 171 deluxe rooms, 57 suites, and three three-bedroom private villas.

Unique Qualities: The Hotel la Mamounia offers some of the finest dining in Marrakech, with five restaurants to choose from. They include the Marrakech Impériale, Le Marocain, L'Orangerie, L'Italien, and Les Trois Palmeries. Guests can also grab a snack or a drink in one of the hotel's five bars, including the Churchill Piano Bar, Le Bar au Soleil, the Bar at Les Trois Palmeries, Le Bar du Squash, and the Casino Bar.

And to work off all those calories, guests have a range of sport and leisure activities to choose from, including tennis and squash, bocci/boules, ping-pong, billiards, and a fitness center.
