La Mamounia

Set just outside the medina walls in extensive historic gardens, the hotel combines Moroccan architecture and craftsmanship with the glamour of a grand international palace hotel. Orange trees, palms, roses, olive trees and long pathways create a surprisingly calm world within walking distance of Jemaa el-Fna and the city’s most animated streets. Inside, carved plasterwork, tile, dark wood, lanterns and richly layered fabrics produce an atmosphere that is unmistakably Moroccan without reading as a simple recreation of a riad.
