Marrakech’s illustrious La Mamonia hotel has reopened following an extensive restoration project led by internationally-acclaimed interior designer, Jacques Garcia.
“An icon of Marrakech, La Mamounia is the incarnation of Moroccan identity and a true jewel among international hotels,” said general manager Didier Picquot.
A legendary property, La Mamounia is steeped in history and grace and has hosted a ‘who’s who’ of international royalty, politicians, celebrities and the jet set.
French fashion design team Terre & Ciel Conseil recently sewed the final buttons and sequins on La Mamounia’s tailor-made staff uniforms which clothe all 777 employees and now the venue is ready to welcome a new generation of guests.
As well as the usual luxury facilities visitors to La Mamounia will find that little extra with a host of designer touches.
During the restoration a fragrance expert, Olivia Giacobetti, famed as one of the seven ‘noses’ in the world, worked tirelessly to produce a series of scents for La Mamounia.
The hotel’s hair salon by Jean Michel Faretra Paris offers high-class styling for both men and women.
And Essences du Maroc, a specialist division of marocMaroc has created a luxurious skin care line exclusively for La Mamounia.
Room rates start at $775 and La Mamounia has 136 stylish guest rooms; 71 suites, including seven signature suites and three riads, each with three bedrooms.
Moroccan salons and a private terrace complete the scene with an ozone swimming pool.
