A former palace built in the 12th century just outside Marrakech’s medieval walls in the 12th century, La Mamounia lives up to its rich history and reputation for stellar service, splendor and magnificence from the moment you step through its huge souk door. Silk-draped ceilings, opulent jewel shades, plush velvets, marble fountains, spectacular gardens, lavish Moorish tiling, guest rooms with balconies looking out to the Atlas Mountains and that legendary glass-bottom pool in the heart of the gardens.
